A conversation I'm having on youtube with an atheist/nihilist.....
Me: Is raping an infant objectively wrong or right?
Her: Objective right and wrong don't exist.
Me: But, that wasn't the question.
Her: Then the answer to your question is "no".
Is raping an infant objectively wrong or right? No, raping an infant is NOT objectively wrong or right.
Me: So, can you say raping a baby is wrong or right?
Her: I CAN, in fact give you an answer to THAT question...now that you've dropped the word "objective".
Me: And your answer is?
Her: At this point I'm bored. If you have a point to make, MAKE IT.
I don't much care for these question games, anyway; they stink of traps, usually word-play that take what one says and turns it into something one never intended which one is subsequently expected to defend, and one is called a hypocrite when one tries to clarify instead, and having only 500 characters to do it doesn't help.
So if you have a point to make, MAKE IT. Otherwise, go away.
Me: You're overthinking the question, but it's simple and it's rather....odd...that I'd encounter this much reticence in obtaining an answer to it. I'll make it easy: If morality is subjective, under what circumstances would raping a baby be morally right?
I wonder how many more times she'll dodge the question?..........
