Re: For moral relativists
[ QUOTE ]
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?

Consistency, for the most part, and when combined with the given of a single-class system, means that the *identity* of the actor is not relevant to the analysis of the action.
