I never claimed it didn't. You have called me dishonest many times now. Don't think that because in your mind there are certain assumptions that you can engage with said assumptions without validating them. In the worlds of Philosophy, it is THAT that is dishonest.
Nothing is immoral without an agreed upon doctrine of morality, which has yet to be defined. I believe I posted something about this, to which you never responded...
Yes, you must not have read my posts. My standard for morality is the Bible. Yours is not. Which means you and I cannot have a conversation regarding morality without first defining an agreed doctrine.
You are horribly confusing conversational threads here. As I stated above, I have a code of ethics as defined by Christ. In that respect, I do in fact stand against slavery. The question I am trying to get ANY atheist on this board to answer is - if you don't accept a code of ethics defined from some third party - by what doctrine, or by what standards, do you consider slavery immoral?
Frankly, you are basically just describing religious freedom. You need to make up your mind - should I impose my religious beliefs on others or not? If you wish to claim that slavery is atheistically immoral, and NOT a religious belief, then you must provide some logic to do so. Define a doctrine, explain how it is a standard of morality, and then identify how slavery is not in alignment with that standard. It really is quite simple; I could give as many examples for it as I did for slavery being acceptable. All I am trying to get you to do is complete your thought processes and recognize where your ideals and morality come from.
Not at all - I am simply pressing you to provide those legitimate reasons. And perhaps get you to see how temporal they are. Gmilam gets it. Ultimately, your morality is subjective. Which means it can change from generation to generation, or for that matter that it can change with the will of a democratic people, which in my mind renders it useless, as people can be manipulated, misinformed, and misled. That a lot of idiots agree that something is good or bad has no real relevance for me. It is through that mechanism that countless atrocities have been legally carried out for centuries. If we ever hope to have a true Utopia, we will need a better foundation for morality than subjective feelings.
