They keep repeating that living beings are insignificant, lacking any immutable, intrinsic dignity; yet, when someone points out the consequences of that worldview, they mock the critic and twist their words.
The author of the tweet isn't saying that Christian morality is the only thing holding them back—there could be other, personal reasons. They are making a simple point: "If morality is subjective and living beings are just insignificant sacks of cells, then fucking a corpse is no different from fucking a stuffed animal; they are merely groups of atoms rearranged in different ways."
The reason an atheist isn't a necrophile, despite holding that worldview, isn't simply because they are a "good person"; it is because objective morality is so self-evident to any rational being that it cannot be ignored, and also because of personal reasons.
That is like someone saying that an object's colors do not exist and are subjective, yet still insisting that a particular square is objectively blue—and that anyone who calls it red is a fool and a bad person.
If you’re going to hold that worldview, at least be consistent and don’t contradict yourself, and make an effort to understand what the other person is explaining to you. If being an atheist makes you so intelligent, then grasping what you read shouldn't be a problem for you.

I didn't know threads about that tweet already existed. I chose to post it here because I don't like using social media.
Also, how would you answer his question? Why is committing [cruel and disgusting act] morally wrong according to an atheist-nihilist worldview, without resorting to circular reasoning?

>>18573387
Explaining why an act is objectively wrong is not the same as giving reasons to prevent someone from committing that specific act.
It seems you are talking about the latter.
For example, someone might persuade another person to stop using a certain thing, but that does not mean using that thing is objectively wrong. Persuasion is not always accompanied by the truth.
>>
>>18573392
>act is objectively wrong
No such thing all morality is subjective.
>>
>>18573393
Why do you think morality is subjective? Moral norms are just as self-evident as the fact that a world exists outside of you.
An atheist might say they believe a world exists outside of themselves because they experience it every day and have a strong intuition about it; yet the same applies to morality, and despite this, they maintain that it is subjective.
>>
>>18573404
>Moral norms are just as self-evident as the fact that a world exists outside of you.
In what way? Morality is based on feelings
>>
>>18573406
"Evident" means that something leaves no room for uncertainty because it is so clear, meaning no reasoning is required to reach the conclusion.
When people witness a great injustice, they immediately know it is wrong. Even young children, for instance, understand the concept of "injustice."
>>
>>18573415
>injustice
Completely arbitrary and again based on your feelings.

Why is it okay to eat roadkill but not have sex with it? Most people outside of very niche circumstances don’t actually need to eat it to survive. In fact why is it okay to kill and eat any animal, but not have sex with it, when plant based alternatives exist and eating animals is done for pleasure?

To answer your question for having sex with roadkill, it isn’t immoral, but is still made illegal for practical reasons (ie sanitation, public health). There are animals you can’t eat as roadkill because of health reasons too. Also, much like roadkill there is no way to prove you didn’t just kill the animal to have sex with it with no resistance, then claimed it was roadkill. This is why there are states in real life that regulate it (someone can kill game, then falsely claim it was roadkill).
>>
>>18573406
And is truth not based on feelings either?
For example, when someone dreams, they have the intuition that something false is true because they have that feeling. Or when you have the feeling that someone is deceiving you. Does that mean truth is subjective because it is linked to feelings?
>>
>>18573421
>And is truth not based on feelings either?
Truth is just observed reality.
No its not based on feelings.
>>
>>18573429
>Observing reality
Well, that is how moral norms are known, by observing, feeling, and listening to reality, just as with truth in general.
There are cases where feelings clash with reason.
For instance, someone might want to hit another person because they caused anger, yet their intuition tells them it is morally wrong. In this example, feelings are being distinguished from moral intuition. If moral norms were merely feelings, it would be impossible to separate them. The brain distinguishes between the truth (doing X is wrong) and feelings (wanting to do it for pleasure or revenge).
>>
>>18573439
>by observing, feeling, and listening to reality
Yes and you have reactions towards these things and then create subjective morals out of your feelings.
>>
>>18573294
I still have never seen an atheist derive an ought from an is and I don't image it will ever happen.
>>
>>18573294
Ok OP you convinced me that objective morality is correct. Now please use your great mind to explain how a jewish carpenter died and came back to life in three days, and then flew into the sky.
>>
>>18573294
Repulsive behaviors are considered repulsive, because most people just hate the idea of participating in them. Most people simply don't want to fuck a roadkill, they don't think it's prohibited, they just don't want to do it at all.

Something has to be deeply wrong for a person to ask such a question at all. It reminds me of why gamblers gamble. They just don't care about losing. They celebrate the occasional win, and forget the losses. Most people have zero chance of falling to gambling. They would hate the losses, and quit.

How is not fucking roadkill a moral dilemma to your christcucks? Is that something you struggle with daily, the intense desire to prowl the highways in search of a fresh possum corpse to fuck?
I don't fuck roadkill because it's disgusting to me. It's not a moral choice, it's just fucking disgusting.

Atheists have no basis for their morality besides peer pressure. There is no reason, under atheist materialism, why there couldn't be a culture where putting live babies into blenders and making baby soup would be seen as morally good.

You're the one hung up on this example because it is so damaging to your pretense of morality. I always loathe people who try to sat "no u" instead of actually engaging with an argument.
>>
>>18578855
What's the Christian reason for putting live babies into blenders and making baby soup?

This thread is utterly retarded on all sides but
>Atheists have no basis for their morality besides peer pressure
This is correct. See abortion being acceptable when in fact it is murder of a living human being by biological definition permitted because unprotected vaginal sex & inconvenience of carrying to term are seen as more important. Than human life. Yes, legal abortion means a very specific type of sex is more important than human life.
>>
>>18578855
Peer pressure created the social structures that suppress weirdos. Christianity degenerates into Taiping rebellions and self-castrators that peer pressure then needed to suppress, so no different from atheists. Same with muslims.
>>
>>18578879
So christcucks blend babies. Got it.

A long-long time ago, there was an ape. And it was afraid of catching a disease.
But being a fucking ape, it could not trace the actual sources of the diseases, only apply rule-of-thumb 'disgust/indignation'-rules.

That's why Christians shriek 'filth' and 'unclean' even today.
That's why it feels wrong to shit in a sink.
That's why it feels wrong (for pajeet monkeys) to walk inside home with boots on.
That's why it feels wrong (for brazilian proles) not to wear uniform.[1]

The object X of "apply a disgust-rule" could be literally anything. There is no self-evidence, retard.


[1] Haidt J. - 'The Righteous Mind. Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion' (2012):
"I used two stories taken directly from Turiel’s research: a girl pushes a boy off a swing (that’s a clear moral violation) and a boy refuses to wear a school uniform (that’s a conventional violation). This validated my methods. It meant that any differences I found on the harmless taboo stories could not be attributed to some quirk about the way I phrased the probe questions or trained my interviewers. The upper-class Brazilians looked just like the Americans on these stories. But the working-class Brazilian kids usually thought that it was wrong, and universally wrong, to break the social convention and not wear the uniform. <...> This pattern supported Shweder: the size of the moral-conventional distinction varied across cultural groups."

Because humans are created in the image of God and have inherent dignity? Because objective morality exists?

Are you pro-abortion? Then killing babies is fine, at least in the womb. Why not outside the womb? What you do with the dead bodies is of no concern, just like having sex with roadkill.

Again, my contention is that atheism does not permit a universal morality to exist, everything is a social construct. So if your society was blending babies, you'd be all for it.

Sorry, I was wrong. He forbids sex with animals in Leviticus, BUT, only live animals. So sex with carcasses is technically ok. For Christians. Jews still cant because of the purity laws.

I'm bored so I'll bite.

You can have two coherent views:
a) it is not immoral to fuck roadkill. The roadkill doesn't feel, so nobody gets hurt. If the roadkill is fresh, you won't get any disease. It's all fine. Most people are against it because it feels icky, but there's nothing inherently wrong with it.
b) it is immoral to fuck roadkill because if someone gets a hobby of fucking roadkill they might start killing animals just to satisfy their urges, and killing animals for fun often leads to harming people. Not to mention that they might start fucking already rotting roadkill which leads to disease.

Catholics owned, suck my dick.

----------------------------------

If you want to own a catholic, the easiest way is to ask them whether it's moral for priests to rape little boys and then for higher-ups to cover that shit up. I still haven't heard a coherent argument why the church wouldn't take institutional measures against crimes that have been legally proven in courts. Their official position on the issue is literally "you can't do shit to us lol".

Breaking news: medieval chriggers were objectively moral! (no, they weren't)
"Whereas theologians and clerics preached sparing their lives, newborn abandonment continued as registered in both the literature record and in legal documents.[14]:16 According to William Lecky, exposure in the early Middle Ages, as distinct from other forms of infanticide, "was practiced on a gigantic scale with absolute impunity, noticed by writers with most frigid indifference and, at least in the case of destitute parents, considered a very venial offence" "
"very high sex ratios were common in even late medieval Europe, which may indicate sex-selective infanticide."

The Atheist Maxim: Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

>>18579415

>>18579415
>Nothing is true, everything is permitted
"Whereas hyperstitional agitation produces a ‘positive unbelief’ – a provisionalizing of any reality frame in the name of pragmatic engagement rather than epistemological hesitation – OGU [One God Universe] feeds on belief. In order to work, the story that runs reality has to be believed, which is also to say that the existence of a control program determining reality must not be suspected or believed. Credulity in the face of the OGU meta-narrative is inevitably coupled with a refusal to accept that entities like Control have any substantive existence. That’s why, to get out of OGU, a systematic shedding of all beliefs is a prerequisite. “Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape” (WL116). Techniques of escape depend on attaining the unbelief of assassin-magician Hassan i Sabbah: nothing is true, everything is permitted. Once again, Kaye cautioned that this must be carefully distinguished from ‘postmodern relativism’. Burroughs-Sabbah’s ‘nothing is true’ cannot be equated with postmodernism’s ‘nothing is real’. On the contrary: nothing is true because there is no single, authorized version of reality – instead, there is a superfluity, an excess, of realities. “The Adversary’s game plan is to persuade you that he does not exist” (WL12). "


"Both conspiracy and common sense – the ‘normal reality’ script – depend on the dialectical side of the double game, on reflective twins, belief and disbelief, because disbelief is merely the negative complement of belief: cancellation of the provocation, disintensification, neutralization of stimulus – providing a metabolic yawn-break in the double-game.
Unbelief escapes all this by building a plane of potentiality, upon which the annihilation of judgment converges with real cosmic indeterminacy."
