Murder is obviously wrong because it's an act of irreversible aggression against another person. Anyone with the ability to wipe their own ass should be able to deduce this. A secular foundation can get you to a point where you can rationally argue that murder is detrimental to human society, or that its unfair, but it cant provide any reason for why its actually wrong, or for why things like fairness or human survival are necessarily good. Without something defined and unchanging outside of ourselves to ground morality, theres no way to logically reach the conclusion that anything is wrong or right. If you dont like murder, then thats great. But if your worldview doesnt allow you to rationally support the idea that murder is bad (which a naturalistic view indeed fails to do), then you have to follow that where it leads you no matter what your preferences are. If you dont like where your worldview leads you, then find a different one, but dont lie to yourself or other people and try to make it work if it doesnt work. --- Xbox Live: Reborn Raisin <cite>pastyD posted [p:937729764] in The concep...
