Lucem and elphenor: morality shouldn't be solely dictated by societal norms

Jwb: if morality exists outside of society then show us the one true moral code that cures all ills across the globe or you're wrong

In plain and simple terms, what are each of your main points?

20 words MAX.

I don't think you actually followed the conversation.

Now it's just people trying to challenge it with stupid scenarios.

Oh, I have. I have the headache to prove it.
I'm just waiting for one of you to have a Frank Ricard slam dunk so it'll be over.

It's not going to be an epic game winning slam dunk. It's just going to be running out the clock and preventing the other team from scoring while I'm in the lead.

I agree and that's basically my point. There is something to morality more than just causing the least amount of suffering.

It's almost like my post was an intentionally facetious misreading of the discussion.

That choice would be harmful though. Maybe suffering is as complicated as morality. Maybe the complications of human suffering is why morality is complicated.
