Canadian cogitations about politics, social issues, and science. Vituperation optional.
Mr.Mckenna on relativism and how it makes us into polite but foolish people. I see the religiously addled beginning to froth thinking perhaps that once we get rid or relativism we can get back to the unctuous vapidity of absolute morality…no no kiddies, what we are talking about here is moving debate back toward rational discourse. Delusional filled magic books and reverence for sky-daddies will get the rough treatment they deserve.

Sam Harris makes a good case for an absolute moral system without god. It’s basically that if you can imagine a place in the universe where there is the worst possible suffering for life that is there, then that is the worst bad. Everything that moves us away from that suffering and towards a higher state of wellness is good. Pretty simple, yet compelling I think. It’s not too far from my bio-ethics philosophy course that summed that up to be even simpler; pain bad.
For a more in-depth version of Harris’ position, may I suggest watching this debate.

Lol, woops, forgot my main point. It was that if theists convinced everyone that morality isn’t relative, it by no way means that their desert war god has any say in what is moral or not. As Hitchens so often likes to say “Even if I concede all your points, you still have all your work ahead of you..” in this case to prove that their god is the source of that morality.
