[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8847551, member: 7023887"] This is not necessary. Child abuse can be accepted to be objectively evil without us needing an entire, irrefutable definition of good and evil. Just like how we know that Quantum Mechanics and Relativity are both insufficient at completely describing the physics of our universe, but we still know that Black Holes and Muons and Higgs Bosons exist. "Hey, murdering innocent people by the thousands is bad" is an uncontroversial statement that can be accepted into modern morality without needing to completely explain what good and evil are 100% of the time. Just like we can say "Higgs Bosons exist" without knowing if Gravitons do. Maybe you have them blocked, but the person that was just banned from the thread was doing that. Ask your 10 closest friends if they're in favor of the murder of innocent people. I'm willing to bet, unless you have "strange" friends, all of them will say that they're against it. Child abuse is bad and evil. We have proven that. Genocide is evil. That is proven. [/QUOTE]
