DeSepiero: Would you want your woman or wife to play the field to prove you selflessly love her? |

butterflyl1on:Because it speaks of less desirable attributes, deceptiveness, fecklessness, inconsideration, selfishness. Also because it causes emotional distress to spouse when they find out. Empathy makes it so that we can feel the pain of others, put ourselves in their shoes and thats why we may disapprove of acts of infidelity. Still, it is not a crime because the wronged party is free to call time on the relationship. |

butterflyl1on:No you only stated that it may be different in some aspects to what it might mean for me. |

shaybebaby: I never said it was a crime. I said why is it wrong if societal laws do not deem them so. Leave emotions out of it. It takes 2 to tango. One party says it is right while the other says it is wrong so where then is the meeting point? What gives one joy can bring sorrow to another. Wouldn't you agree? |

DeSepiero:I can't think of a more selfish act than to bind and personalise other people's love and bodies to us using a symbolic ring and autographed papers. Yet the person making this argument claims love is selfless. 1 Like |

butterflyl1on:It is wrong if there is deception involved. Call it false representation. |
Re: Atheists And Morality. A Question! by butterflyl1on: 10:16pm On Sep 30, 2017 |
DeSepiero: So why is it wrong to selflessly allow her play the field Afterall there are men who term themselves cuckolds or swingers and see nothing wrong with such a lifestyle. Why is it wrong to you then if it is right to them? |

shaybebaby: Husband needs a child for sake of posterity but has been unable to impregnate wife. She decides for his sake to try outside so as to give him a child without his knowledge. She succeeds! He is happy and so is she. 2. Someone you do not like coming around your wife comes for a visit and asks for her and you say she is out while she is sleeping in the room. Deceptively making sure he does not see her. She did hers for sake of your joy You did yours for sake of peace Are those deceptions bad? |

butterflyl1on: Some of them might include over all benefit to the society, if it will lead to general societal progress and stability, if it will promote peaceful coexistence and harmony, if it will promote development, if it will make the majority not to disturb the leadership and go against them, If it will keep the people in line and make them not to challenge the leadership, if it will secure the general society as a whole, if it will protect the interest of the leadership and make them look good or have their way etc. There are a myriad of reasons why the leadership will label something as good or evil. 2 Likes |

butterflyl1on: Of course. They just did the in the United states. If you are in the US and happen to be a judge that weds people in the courts and gays come to you to wed them, you must do it because it is the law of the land and you can NOT be seen discriminating against them. You do it and you lose your Job or face severe sanctions. 2 Likes |
