Now, that seems a lot more wishy-washy than your earlier statement: "...no attribute in any single human is sufficient to objectively designate a human as worthy of determining which other innocent humans should live or die."
That is not wishy-washy, Buddy. I said "...no attribute in any single human is sufficient to objectively designate a human as worthy of determining which other innocent humans should live or die." Maybe that is not clear to you, but it is pretty friggin' clear to me and undoubtedly to any other normal thinking person.
Gee, too bad 'nature' never wrote down it's 'laws' in a form everyone could agree with.
We have enough of the law in our own bodies. The Golden Rule actually comes from this natural truth.
'Innocence'? Or, 'ignorance'? (If I am IGNORANT of the harm I bring to others... does that make me innocent?
Ignorance and Innocence are not necessarily mutally exclusive, especially when the ignorance is willful (as we see in so many leftists).
If I drop bombs from 30,000 feet... I don't KNOW that I've killed anyone. If I dump PCBs or mercury or lead waste into my local watercourse... I don't KNOW THE NAMES (snip)
Lord man. I don't really have any more time for this crap. You really upset me with your shallowing "thinking." You almost always drop bombs with the motive of killing, whether you know the damage or not. You do not necessarily dump chemicals into the river with the motive of killing. You may be ignorant of the extent to which the chemicals can harm. Indeed you may even think they do little or know harm. Or you may think the harm is so temporary and small that nature has the capacity to render it insignificant. Or, you may not trust the declarations of the scientific priests, since they tell you eggs are killers, then that they are not, that milk is a killer, but not, etc. You may have a variety of reasons for dumping chemicals in the river, none of which have a thing to do with the intent to kill anyone. That must be factored into any moral determination concerning your actions.
You 'owe'... not even compassion??????
On what basis? |
