You are still not answering my questions. What reasons can the leaders give for rape being beneficial to the society?
I don't understand why you'really asking me. Anyway, the leaders could reason like this: "99.9% of the people say that it is good for them. Therefore rape is good for 99.9% of the society. If so, then rape is good for virtually everyone on the society. Therefore, rape is good for the society."

So, having come up with this reason, they deem rape good. Is rape really good?
Christianity Etc › Re: Atheists And Morality. A Question! by DoctorAlien(m): 11:19pm On Sep 30, 2017
dalaman:
You can start by telling me how the leaders will deem rape as beneficial to the society. Let's begin from there.
Would the leaders not deem rape as beneficial to the society if ALL of them are of the view that rape is really good and beneficial to them as individuals and to the society(despite what your opinion on rape is)?

If they would, is rape really good?
Christianity Etc › Re: Atheists And Morality. A Question! by DoctorAlien(m): 11:05pm On Sep 30, 2017
dalaman:
No, until you can demonstrate to me why rape, murder and racism is beneficial to any society I see no reason to accept anything you say regarding the leadership of this society saying that it is beneficial to the society.
Sir, but you were the one that agreed that the leaders determine what is beneficial/right for the society.

You also agreed that the probability of a society where 99.9% of the members say each that racism, murder and adultery is beneficial to them, and where the leaders of the society are among the 99.9%, to exist is not 0. (We don't care whether the society exists for just 1 second or for 1 trillion years.)

In such a society, would the leaders deem racism, murder and adultery beneficial / good for the society? If yes, are these things really good?

If they would not deem them good, why?

(I don't understand why you're asking me to tell you how those things are beneficial to the society. Am I part of the society? grin )

dalaman:
In reality there is no society where 99% will see nothing wrong with murder rape and racism. That is why I told you to tell us why it is beneficial to the society. Even in a society where 99% are rapist they will NOT be able to tell.you why rape is beneficial to the society.
You, sir, agreed that such a society could exist i.e. the probability of its existence is not zero. Note: no one cares whether it exists for 1 second or for 1 trillion years.

You, sir, also said that leaders determine what is beneficial for the members of the society. (I no argue o)

Remember, sir, the leaders in this our "society" are among the 99.9% who say each that racism, murder and adultery is beneficial for them(maybe because it gives them pleasure at the expense of others.)

If according to you, leaders determine what is beneficial /right for the society, would the leaders of this our "society" not deem racism, murder and adultery beneficial/right for the society? If they would, are these things really right?

If they would not, why?

Everything will be wrong. The leaders will not even have time to do anything. They will just be murdering, raping and discriminating against each other. There will be total chaos till they end up exterminating themselves.
You said that the leaders determine what is beneficial to the society. Why then would racism, murder and adultery be wrong in a society where 99.9% of the members see nothing wrong with racism, murder and adultery, and in which the leaders are among the 99.9%?

Sir, what do the leaders need time to do?
Christianity Etc › Re: Atheists And Morality. A Question! by DoctorAlien(m): 9:20pm On Sep 30, 2017
dalaman:
Every right. That is why some people must lead others because we are social animals that must coexist and coprate with others whether we like it or not for the benefit of the society as a whole.

There is no society where 99% can see nothing wrong with rape and murder. It just can not exist anywhere.
But you already agreed that such a society could exist, just that it would be short-lived(because the members would "exterminate" each other out, according to you):

dalaman:
A society with 99% of its members as rapist, murderers and racist will exterminate each other out. The society will cease to exist in no time because it is made up of rapist, murderers and racist. They will keep killing, raping and discriminating against each other till they wipe each other off completely.
Nobody really cares if the society would exists for 1 second or for 1 trillion years before they "exterminate each other out". The fact is you agree they could exist.

You are contradicting yourself, sir.

Again, going by your assertion that the society in which 99.9% of the members see nothing qrong with racism, murder and adultery could exist at all(be it for 1 second or for 1 trillion years before the extermination occurs): if the leaders in the society are among the 99.9%, is nothing wrong with those things?
Christianity Etc › Re: Atheists And Morality. A Question! by DoctorAlien(m): 8:51pm On Sep 30, 2017
dalaman:
The society always determines what is beneficial to its people through its leaders and what is beneficial always changes over time. But as a civilized society that has come about through thousand of years of moral evolution, leaders have come to agree that murdering and rapinh people has no benefit to the society but has many bad effect on the society.
What right does one have to determine what is beneficial for another person?

In the society where 99.9% of the members see nothing wrong with racism, murder and adultery, If the leaders are among the 99.9%, is nothing wrong with those things?

dalaman:
How is extermination beneficial to a society? Suicide could be beneficial to an individual person for various reasons some of which I can list, but I see NO reason why extermination is beneficial to any society.


Racism, murder and rape have NO benefit to any society at all. It can not be rationally and logical be shown to be beneficial to any society.
I believe I am not the one to determine what is beneficial for people. I also believe you're not the one. If Mr. A(in this case, 99.9% of my society) says that living with someone/something that could kill him is good and beneficial for him, does the opinion of anyone else on whether it is really beneficial to him matter? Is it not really beneficial to him?

They will keep killing, raping and discriminating against each other till they wipe each other off completely.
Assuming they exist only for the period of time they exist before they "exterminate" each other out. Assuming also that all of them have evaluated the fact that they could exterminate each other out, but have concluded that the death that could occur from their actions is still beneficial to them(just lIke a suicidal person thinks death is the best for him). Can you now answer:
DoctorAlien:
The question is not whether we can find such a society. The question is:

If such a city exists where 99.9% of the members are racists, murderers and adulterers, and they believe and say with reasons known to them that racism, murder and adultery is good and beneficial to them, is racism, murder and adultery not virtually beneficial to the society? If no, who said so and why?

If yes(i.e. that their actions are beneficial to the society), then you must agree that their opinions must matter because this is what you said: "Their opinion is not needed because they haven't shown how their actions are beneficial to the society..."

Now, if their opinions matter, they should be consulted before rules concerning racism, murder and adultery are laid down. And guess what they will say? They will say that racism, murder and adultery are not evil and should be allowed because the racists, murderers and adulterer(which make up 99.9% of the society) believe and proclaim with reasons which they know best that racism, murder and adultery is beneficial to them.

In such a society, should racism, murder and adultery be declared good and allowed? If yes, why? If no, why?

Your question of how rape and murder are beneficial to the society should be channeled to Hitler and those who supported his views. They certainly can tell you how murder (of 6 million Jews) is beneficial to the society.

And when they tell you how murder is beneficial to the society, why should their opinion be inferior to your own opinion(that murDer is not beneficial to the society)?

But the dala man is apt to suggest such a society cannot exist. The only way such a society is feasible is if it's a one (wo)man society where the sole inhabitant is all three (racist, murderer and rapist), and has lost 1% of their body.
Cannot exist or does not exist (maybe for now)?

Why can a society where 99.9% of the members see nothing wrong with racism, murder and adultery not exist?

You want me to follow you and be playing your silly games?

I said it's IMPOSSIBLE for a society to exist with 99% of its inhabitants as rapist, murderers and racist.

Such a society can not exist anywhere .

Even rapist, murderers and racist can NOT tell you how and why their actions are beneficial to any society.

But then you want to start talking about Hitler as if your own God(and his prophets ) is better than him from the biblical stories.
You dismiss my argument simply because it started with if? You then went on to claim that the "society" I described "cannot" exist, which means that probability for its existence is 0. Why such a society cannot exist, you failed to tell us.

Nice logic.

Am not interested in your fictional society. Am only intrested in real human societies that exist. If you want to talk about fictional societies then look for someone to do that with.

If you claim such a society can exist then point to one simple. Am not interested in empty assertions.

An example of a society that consist of 99% murderers, rapist and racist can be found where? And they have shown that their actions is beneficial to the society how?
Still going farther off the lane.

It's disappointing.

Am trying to have a meaningful conversation with you but it sms you are only interested in sounding stupid and chasing your long tail.

I am talking about a real society while you are talking about a fictional one.

There is no society in the world where 99% of the people are rapist, murderers and racist. There is no such society anywhere. Such a society can not exist. That's why I asked you to give me and example of such a society and also give me the beneficial effects of racism, murder and rape to any society.
I can't even finish mentioning all the logical fallacies you managed to smuggle into this short post: from Strawman fallacy through red herring to ad hominem.

You failed to answer my questions. I was never arguing whether the society in question could be found. My argument started with, "if such a society exists..." It is shocking that you went as far as claiming that such a society "can not exist". How you reached that conclusion I am not able to say.

I am disappointed that you could not meet logical reasoning with logical reasoning.

Racist, muderers and rapist are already labeled by the society as offenders because their actions are harmful to the society as a whole if allowed to go on checked. Their opinion is not needed because they haven't shown how their actions are beneficial to the society and it is on that basis that they are tagged as offenders whose opinion does not matter at all in the scheme of things.
Who said that the actions of racists, murderers and adulterers are harmful? Certainly not the racists, murderers and adulterers. You agreed that racists, murderers and adulterers are part of the society. How can you say then that the society labeled them as offenders? Do the racists, murderers and adulterers, who are part of the society see themselves as offenders? If no, who said that they're offenders?

They believe that their actions are beneficial to themselves. Now, what if racists, murderers and adulterers make up 99% of the society? Are their actions not virtually beneficial to the society?
Christianity Etc › Re: Atheists And Morality. A Question! by DoctorAlien(m): 4:39pm On Sep 30, 2017
dalaman:
They are part of civilized societies but they are considered as offenders. Society has labeled them as offenders as such their opinion is not needed and doesn't matter at all based on laid down rules and principles of how a society should function.

Racism, rape and murder have been shown to be evil to the society as a whole if allowed to go unchecked purely based on reason and logic as a while it is detrimental to the society of allowed to go unchecked . No benefit of racism, murder and rape have been shown to be good or beneficial to the society as a whole based on reason and logic.
Society labeled racists, murderers and adulterers as offenders? Do they see themselves as offenders? If no, why should the opinion of the rest of the civil society (that they are offenders) be true? How is their opinion not needed? I ask again: were racists, murderers and adulterers consulted for their opinions before the rules were laid down on ho the society should function?

Racists, murderers and adulterers disagree with you, and they have reasons why they believe these things are good. Adolf Hitler had a reason for the Holocaust. How is your opinion superior to theirs?

Same way the one who upheld the agreement has his own perfectly good reasons for upholding them (in his own eyes).

And, in a world of subjective morality, the opinion of the former is not superior to the opinion of the latter, and vice versa.

Its not my own opinion but laid down principles.

Racism is wrong because it violates the principles laid down by civilized societies that all humans are created equal and should not be judged or discriminated upon based on the color of their skin.

Murder is wrong because it also violates the principle laid out by civilized societies that you shouldn't take the life of another human unjustly.

Adultery violates the principle and agreement made btw two people to remain married and commited to each other alone so long as the remain alive.
Who makes up civilized societies? Are racists, murderers and adulterers not part of civilized societies? Were racists, murderers and adulterers consulted for their opinions on racism, murder and adultery before the laws concerning these things were made?

Who said that you cannot violate an agreement?

What fvcking shiit is this guy saying? undecided



Racism - you're discriminating against another and DEHUMANIZING them on a dubious basis - skin colour! Nothing, either in heaven or on earth, can justify this fuckery. Savvy?

Murder - You're causing HARM to another for no just reason. Taking their life against their will. That is evil.

Adultery - You're breaching a contract - going back on an agreement. That's wrong.
You'very succeeded in telling us your own opinion. You also went ahead to give us the reasons why you're of that opinion. Kudos.

But:

On racism, racists disagree with you. They have a reason why they see racism as good. To them, racism is not wrong, and so they engage in it. How is your opinion superior to theirs?

On murder, Adolph Hitler disagrees with you. Murdering 6 million Jews is not evil to him. He has a reason too to back his opinion. How is your opinion on murder superior to that of Hitler?

On adultery, those who cheat on their spouses disagree with you. They have reasons for comitting adultery. Adultery is not evil to them. How is your opinion on adultery superior to theirs?
