You are not right in the head if you cannot answer this yourself.

We all know that abuse of kids is wrong, to deny this means that you are not right in the head. Yet by saying morality is subjective you would have to agree that for there are certain conditions whereby abuse of kids is ok.

You pick all these emotive examples, like torturing babies for fun etc, as you know most people wont want to play devil's advocate in such a scenario, to explain how morality is subjective. - I find this a very cowardly tactic.

Let us just take an example where it isn't so emotive to play devil's advocate. Let's consider, in general terms, if murder is always wrong. (Without focusing on babies or cute little kittens). Is murder always morally wrong?.....Yes,........You absolutely sure about that?

What if the murder of one individual was the only way to save the lives of millions of people? Is your morality on this issue just as absolute?

Lay off the booze or brush up on grammar and/or logic
because you are sounding more and more idiotic.

Why is asserting "morality is subjective" and agreeing
"abuse of kids is ok" mutually exclusive?

And are there not may abuses of kids in the bible?

I think a case can be made for it from a Biblical perspective, Jesus died to save millions.

Objective moral standards mean that some actions are always immoral no matter the circumstances. If morality is subjective it means there are circumstances where abuse of kids is ok, else it would always be immoral to abuse kids regardless of the circumstances. Where does the Bible say that the abuse of kids is good?

It is all about boundaries. We have to breathe, and if you choke our air out, expect resistance. This is not rocket surgery. You care about yourself? your family? your friends? your neighbors? your country your world your galaxy? And now you know what makes your impulse right. You do.

So what do you stand up for, becker?

No Job doesn't say that the abuse of children is good. Try to read it again when you're not high. 😵

Try to read up a little before you make unsubstantiated claims.
