It might be.

It also might be because your moral code calls for fair treatment for
all, and you know that his cheating breaks that.

Or any number of other reasons.

Guilt doesn't have to relate to a moral judgment of right or wrong.
You will feel guilty about, say, not getting your child the gift they
really want for Christmas even though there's no actual moral
principle telling you that.

Good thing what I'm actually advocating for are rational morals, and
not morals based on guilty feelings that may not indicate the right
thing to do.

so what. we're talking abt reality. the objective truth abt what you
call "holy scripture" may be that it's no such thing; it's just a

Don't worry, my dear, the Christians will take of the killing for you.

'The Jungle' is a book written 100 years ago about the meat packing
industry, but still holds true. Everything is about money and profits.

I'm afraid he'd have to kill the poor kitty and I'd have to know it was
cooking before I came out of hiding. Lol.

If I had to kill my own food I'd be a vegetarian.

The dividing line is sentience. Discussion of staffs sidesteps the
issue -- unless we are dicsussing a sentient staff, in which case the
staff rightfully does have expectations.

Here you are defending His right to be evil towards us. I don't agree
with you, but still, that is all you are doing. For those who think

Using the word IF doesn't mitigate a Slippery Slope fallacy.

If is irrelevant in this example.

When new people come here and the first things they hear are remarks like
yours which are intended to discourage people from engaging here, it's a
problem.

The fact that you can't see that says a lot about you.

Nope. Microsoft in ASCII apparently works out to 666 (or so I've been told).

I've never bothered to work it out myself.

Yes, it makes all the sense in the world. And yet the Christians are
waiting for help from "Above" before doing anything.

They are not even *trying* to be vegetarian.

So we must have the axe ready.
