Killed Anything Today?

[Greta]

Snuffing out another feeling, sensing being's life for the sake of health is how nature works.

Taking other's lives away just for fun is amoral hubris.

Answer to the OP question: "Not so far. But give me time...the day is young."

"Is anyone going on a canned hunt?"

Nope. Was planning on trompin' out into the woods this weekend with the coach gun...thin out the fox population a bit (lost two cats to the foxes this year...the 11 year old is unhappy about the losses, which makes me unhappy).

Mebbe I can score some rabbit while I'm at it.

You can tie the Fox tail to the antenna of your car, makes a good decoration.

I prefer a .22 for rabbits, that way when you eat it you don't need to worry about biting into shot, or if you raise them you don't need to shoot them at all.

That is what you are aware of but your body is killing micro-organisms all the time but you're not aware of it.

Yes. But I've never skinned one.

Good point, though. I'm told it's "speciesist" to say humans have priority over bunnies, dogs and rats. But the same people tell me it's a problem if I shoot a deer, but none at all if I total a worm, a paramecium or an amoeba. Likewise, if I went out shooting cows, I'd be a "mass-murderer," they say. But if they use those same cows when they buy leather shoes or eat a hamburger, they're just "exercising their rights," and it's nobody's business to criticize, apparently.

As the old joke goes, "Save the whales -- collect the entire set."

This cannot be true, unless: a) hubris is wrong, b) being amoral is bad, and c) you are accidentally drawing on an objective concept of morality that you don't even acknowledge has any validity.

Nothing is wrong, in a secular world. "Wrong" is just a word for "Greta doesn't like it."

"Wrong" is just a word for "Greta doesn't like it."

"Wrong" is just a word for, "I Can's imaginary God doesn't like it."

Of course, the Is-Ought problem affects theism just as much as it affects atheism.

And, like Nick, you seem not to know the definition of "secular."

[Immanuel Can]

...the Is-Ought problem affects theism just as much as it affects atheism.

Incorrect. It only appears if "ought" and "is" are made the same thing, which, as Hume showed, Atheism must suppose they are.

The Theistic worldview can accept that what "is" is NOT what "ought" to be. The Atheist worldview can only say, "What is, is."

When you wash your hands, you're killing a lot of germs.

Are you so sure of that? Hospitals and clinics got rid of those bottles because they don't kill the germs.

Now in regards to your brain, I believe baptism held you under the water for too long.

Oh, I forgot to add, wringing your neck would also kill a germ.

Wanking yourself would do you a world of good if you strangle it.

Could you clarify this incoherence?

Also, could you bother to look up the meaning of "secular"?

Why do people even bother posting YouTube videos, or stupid Twitter screen grabs, or linked cartoons? (I did not even bother viewing the above, whatever point it was supposed to make.)

Don't you have anything to say for yourself? Is it possible for you to actually write a sentence -- or, OMG, maybe even a paragraph -- of your own original thoughts?

Lol. Nah.

Since you're a lamebrain, then you're in charge of the lame response department. And like the meathead, you're dead from the neck up.
