Re: For moral relativists
Suppose a moral system was: do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Does consistency mean that I should go and buy everyone blow up, Asian, girlie dolls for Christmas, if this is what I would like others to do for me? I guess I don’t understand what it means to have a consistent moral system. Is it possible to create a system that is consistent and that all rational human beings would agree with?
I guess a moral system that people would agree on would be something like: don’t lie to, deceive, kill, or harm another human being unless your actions are such that every unaffected, rational person would agree with you. But then, it seems like I’m building inconsistency right into this.
