Who is this person talking I’m so thankful for his information I was stressed out for my essay now everything’s cleared up👍🏼

Always right to be kind? What about when someone is trying to kidnap my daughter? I should open the door for them? Patience? Ambulances, too? And the idea that if one cannot think of an exception proves the absolute is not sound thinking. Though scrapping the commandment about not lying was interesting.

I pity people who need absolutes.

13:40 His claim of infanticide being allowed in Virginia is false, and if he is so willing to put forth a false statement to boost a claim, I have serious doubts on any other claim he is making on this video. You can check the law as intended, interpreted and signed in documents by both Reuters and Virginia.gov. He is willing to be deceitful to boost his own cause.

The claim is that it is always immoral for someone to molest a child. What if someone kidnaps a father, son, and a daughter and what if this person murders the son and then says to the father that if he doesn’t molest his daughter, he will kill his daughter also. Would it be immoral if the father decided to go through with the act in the hope that he may save his daughter’s life? Is it moral to be kind to a person who you know is about to kill someone else? I agree that morality cannot be wholly subjective and that objectivity must exist in morality. But a god or a religious text cannot be a source for objective morality because of the Euthyphro dilemma.

As a non-believer I am also concerned about a total abandonment of objective morality in western society and that it will likely have negative consequences for society.

@jackbeecher8718 , your analogy is flawed. The reason is because it’s based on two wrong behaviours that the father can only make. The father is forced into making two immoral decisions. Yes, I get the idea of your argument. But moral absolutism and moral relativism would be better argued based on a healthier scenario in which one can have the choices of making a moral decision or immoral decision in order to clearly define the two.

Thank you for addressing the above statement as flawed. @@terrytong9251

Did not Hitler and company consider their actions Christian?

no. He hated christianity because Jesus was jewish. He used it to gain support like many people have.
