Here's an exchange that took place between me and the arborist in his silly Spiderman thread:
ME: Who determines what is good and just?
ARBORIST: We do.
ME: You and who? Ted Bundy? Who's included in your "we?"
ARBORIST: Me and SteveB
ME: And since SteveB doesn't condemn God, you just blew up the dumb point you were trying to make in your OP. Congratulations.
ARBORIST: "We" means the human race, stiggy. Me, SteveB, and you as well
ME: And Ted Bundy and Hitler and Pol Pot and Bill Cosby and OJ and Jack the Ripper too, right?
ARBORIST: Yes, that's right, stiggy. Guess what, though? The vast, overwhelming majority of us ARE NOT socio/psychopaths like the individuals that you and SteveB keep harping on about...
ME: So majority rules, right? In the South in 1856, since the majority thought slavery was moral, it therefore was, right?
ARBORIST: The voices of the evil are drowned out by the voices of the good,
ME: So if a neutron bomb wiped out everyone on earth except six people, four white and two black, and the four believed blacks should be exterminated, thus "drowning out" the voice of the blacks, then white supremacy would be moral, right?
No answer so far, but would anyone like to guess what it might be?
