Just like we accept that the majority of people are law abiding, it's just assumed that we exist

Epistemology and ontology

shudders

having a theistic philosophy is a lot easier than not

> A baseline moral in everyone
What would be a baseline moral tho. Morality has changed throughout the history of mankind. In a few hundred years, the morality we have right now will change into something else entirely

Well don't hurt people is quite a strong moral

Don't steal etc

The basic things I mean

Morals are contextually sensitive, however

Yeah but that still happens in this day and age, and a lot of it is out of control depending on the person

Yeah but that still happens in this day and age, and a lot of it is out of control of that person

It is immoral to hurt someone, but if it's for self-defense then it is no longer immoral

Mala in se is kinda like the general, everybody can get behind this is wrong

Mala in se meaning Evil within self

Mala Prohibita are rules that we impose because we deem them to be evil

Like the rules of the server

What are these mala things

What's that from

criminal law

Huh

Hmm, not sure if Mala Prohibita really applies here, or at least not for everything

Interesting

what is going on here ?

Unless it's contextually bound

Debate about existence

> having a theistic philosophy is a lot easier than not
Yeah, this is what I think too, because when I just accept that there is a God, it just makes dwelling on such things easier. When i try to think of such things without having that concept, it becomes exponentially harder

I mean, being a theist myself, I often try to think about reality from an atheist perspective

Oh I do try to challenge myself

It becomes too hard for me though
