Are Fundamentalists Inherently Immoral

Because I am not a genocidal psychopath. This makes me clearly morally superior to the biblegod. I don't say that I am really qualified to sit in judgment over anyone, but obviously I am better qualified to do so than the imaginary invisible man who lives in your head, because I am obviously his moral superior. On this subject it is scarcely possible for me to say "duh" loud enough.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

And when you say that, you plunge me back into the moral abyss.Look, I think that I shouldn't rape Suzy. But according to you, I am not qualified to judge. So ... I'll toss a coin, right? Heads, I won't rape Suzy ...

Like everyone else in the world, I base my moral opinion on my own standards. Same as you.

But you have got this completely ass-backwards."Following the logic behind subjective morality", I find that if I think that that's wrong, then that's wrong.Meanwhile, following your logic, it seems that if I think that that's wrong I might be wrong about whether it's wrong, and no mere fallible human, such as myself, can decide that that's wrong. So I might as well toss a coin to find out whether I should condemn such practices or join in.---By the way, I am sure that you'll be relieved to learn that the story we're discussing is a lie. Horrible things do happen, but fortunately this isn't one of them. Obviously that never happened.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

Jack the Ripper wasn't a rapist. He killed prostitutes --- you know, like the Bible says to, except that he used a knife instead of stoning them to death.As he was never caught, we have no way of knowing his moral philosophy. However, his nearest analogue, the "Yorkshire Ripper", when arrested, claimed to be doing God's will, and you can't argue with that, can you? No room for "relative morals" there.
