[Your argument] would make a lot more sense within a context of moral absolutes.

-Removed-Give me one good reason why I should talk to you in good faith after you said this:
You're lying about your sister being raped in order to score internet points, lying about being in a religious cult for 24 years, lying about who you were as “dj2becker” (I.e. the twat Fetchmyjunk), defending robbie carrobie for defending his sick religious cult over covering up claims of child sex abuse...and you even told us YOU were in a cult and your sister was raped by one or more of the leaders for crying out loud. Really!!
You’re a crappy lying git Becker and I’ve only broken silence with you in order to indulge in the dubious pleasure of telling you what I think of you.

Saying that an action aught to be done one way to be regarded as moral in a context where no single action can be said to be done in only one particular way to be moral is meaningless, yes.

Quote me where I said that.
Originally posted by @dj2beckerA moral "compass" doesn't. A moral "compass" is a personal and unique thing every moral agent has. It helps them navigate a human landscape filled wih moral choices and dilemmas.
You have clearly not used a compass before. A compass points in the same direction all the time.
Originally posted by @dj2beckerIt's based on what you said about whether to spare a relative the feeling of being ashamed as opposed to taking action to protect women or children from being raped. You questioned my moral choice. Page 3.
So it's based upon assumptions you made rather than me actually saying those exact words?

You: Do you believe someone who has reported a rapist but would like to remain anonymous should be forced to testify?
Me: I don't know exactly how they could be "forced" to testify, but it would morally unsound of them not to do so if the testimony would save other children from being raped.
Do you agree?
