Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@avi8r66 says : "How do I respond when everyone says morality is subjective?" Well, the apologist response is going to be to try and get away with making a baseless assertion that it isn't, that it is objective. If that gets pushback then you go into a lot of circular reasoning, reflective listening (answering with a lot of brain dead questions), and generally squirm around until the other person gives up and leaves. But a rational person answers it by explaining that humanity established it's morals over time, society developed what we view today as morals. And this set of guidelines for life has changed over time. In some cultures, and this is reducing all the time, slavery was perfectly moral. They view people outside their immediate group as lesser beings and theirs for the taking. Today most of the world does not have this viewpoint, the morals evolved. That's how it worked for every 'moral' we hold today. The 'morals' documentedd in the bible are a reflection of that culture at that time. Things like killing your new bride if she isn't a virgin on her wedding night, they viewed this as the moral thing to do. Fortunately we have outgrown that stupidity today. If you want to claim that God defines our morals then we need to establish some facts first. For example, does this God thing exist? If we get past that then we need to objectively determine exactly what this God deems to be moral, and whether we should care. But that first hurdle has yet to be overcome.>> <<@msmd3295 says : Turek & his cohorts are committed to false conclusions. Here’s an example, gay bashing. Without cheating and looking it up, what was the U.S. population in 1950… it was 150,000,00 ! Know what it is today, just 70 yrs later ? 342,000,000. More than double !! We are ruining planet Earth due to resource depletion and that is due to OVERPOPULATION !! Now for the “queers”… they don’t give birth to children of their own making. So, they are not helping to overpopulate this planet. The reason that’s such a horrible thing is directly related to conservatives & religion. They are secretly trying to insure they continue to have a growing customer base into the future. That’s ALL they care about. In fact one of the Trump speakers at one of his recent rallies said exactly that because he’s a witless fool.>> <<@MattBronwyn says : Ugh, he's over-simplifying what is actually quite a complicated subject. Even if there is a god, you can argue that morality is still subjective, it's just god's opinion. Even if there is a god, who's to say that you've correctly tapped-in to what his "objective" moral truths are; maybe you've got the wrong god, or the wrong interpretation. Even if there is a god, you've got the right one *and* you're correctly interpreting his "objective" moral truths, you still have to *apply* them based on individual and unique situations that are going to be filtered through your subjective lens. Inserting god into things doesn't actually make morality this simple thing where you automatically win the "what's right or wrong?" game. If there isn't a god and we say that morality is just how we view actions that contribute (or not) to human well-being, then there *are* objective facts we can say about what does or doesn't contribute to human well-being. We'll have our subjective opinion about the degree to which they help or harm, but we can still refer to objective truths to make that determination. It's complicated.>> <<@StanGreyTRQ says : I wish Christians would list where in the Bible they find these "objective" moral values... These same people will defend the killing of children, slavery, war brides, stoning disobedient children, adulterers, and non virgin girls. If those things are wrong now, but not back then, your morality is not objective.>> <<@ShermanMays-fw8ko says : Read the Bible family>> <<@kaboom9081 says : "morality is subjective" - Is that an objective statement you just made? "no". - Then what makes your statement true?>> <<@mick20075 says : If its opinion they cant cry to cops or anyone about anything 😂😂 and proves they are heartless USE THE OBVIOUS THEY DISAGREE WITH SOMEONE LIKE HITLER>> <<@CaptainFantastic222 says : If morality is objective and your objective source of morality is the Bible than you have a lot of explaining to do>> <<@lawrenceeason8007 says : Morality is subjective. That’s reality. We each decide our own moral path.>> <<@harveygitarista1600 says : If morality is subjective, then who is to say that it is wrong to punch whoever I want to punch? The laws that some group of monkeys invented today? Or the laws of other group of monkeys invented in other countries? What about the laws that the earliest monkey group invented?>> <<@Ikaros-Von-Kreta says : Homosexuality lacks morality.>> <<@DG-mv6zw says : So what is legislation based on if not morality. You telling me a judge never makes a ruling based on objective moral standards and duries? I hope you're never called to sit on a jury>> <<@macmac1022 says : I believe in justice as we have justice systems that exist and the idea of justice with fairness comes with understanding and empathy of others. And to the part where from just claims like he does so many times over and over that without god there is no justice or right or wrong, then he shows he does not use logic, understanding and empathy to know what is right and wrong, he uses what god told him was right or wrong. Now he says ask questions and I like that as well so go ahead and ask me questions, but you better be able to answer mine as well.>> <<@Theo_Skeptomai says : Morality IS subjective. There is no such thing as 'objective' morality. Morality is the cognitive process of differentiating between human intentions, decisions, and actions that are morally appropriate (ought to occur in a certain dilemma) from those inappropriate (ought not to occur in a certain dilemma). Like all cognitive assessments, moral assessments always and necessarily involve the subject's own biases, experience, attitude, and other personal iconsiderations. Therefore, morality is _always and necessarily_ SUBJECTIVE. Each and every individual is the sole arbiter of his or her own morality. I, and I alone, determine which human behaviors are moral, amoral, or immoral, just as everyone else does.>> <<@MrMagaManTron says : Pray for strength and wit for this courages young lady! Thats a great question. So many of us want to defend Christ, but don’t know how. This is why I am so thankful apologetics is making a comeback.>> <<@mve6182 says : If morality is objective and came from God, how come the Bible explicitly condones slavery, especially in the old testament? Or does mr. Turek believe slavery is still morally acceptable today?>> <<@katamas832 says : Subjective morality is: the fact that morality exists as a social construct and can vary from culture to culture, person to person Subjective is _not:_ Everything is morally permissable, you must accept everyone's morals, there's no right or wrong, there's no justice If only ya'll understood this.>> <<@somerandom3247 says : "If all morality is subjective, then how do you believe in justice?" Why would morality being subjective have anything to do with justice? We live in a society with certain rules. If those rules are broken then justice is expected. Morality being subjective is completely irrelevant there. "Are you saying there is nothing wrong with gay bashing?" No..... What kind of question is that? Just because morality is subjective doesn't mean that I'm ok with gay bashing....... Utterly ridiculous question frank. We dont need a god to exist for us to seek justice, or define right and wrong. Garbage advice from frank as usual.>> <<@michellehill5285 says : Is that Sara Huckabee Sanders daughter speaking? She has the same voice as Sara.>> <<@hansdemos6510 says : Dr. Turek is mistaken. There can be justice, there can be right and wrong, on a higher level than just the subjective without a dictator deity. Justice and morality can be intersubjective, as a covenant between people who are in contact with each other, and it can be objective if we can establish certain standards that are innate to all humans.>> <<@watchmanofthenight2700 says : The wages of sin is death, wages are a reward. Death, therefore, is the reward of sin. In the judgment, all will discover that sin, is in no way subjective.>> <<@jamesw4250 says : Justice is a human concept that we came up with. It's our attempt to keep a society functional and successful. Nothing mysterious or supernatural there. And morality is subjective.>> <<@maxhagenauer24 says : Objective morality exists but it cannot be created by someone who wants it to be whatever they want (including God) as that would make it subjective.>> <<@boardtodeath46 says : I think a person needs to understand who is using the term and how. Justice is just a term, good is a term, better is a term. None of them are strictly only religious. Morality is not a religious term. In the dictionary it is a social standard. Some people throughout history have had different levels of morality. Some higher, some lower. It just so happens I’m a Christian belief, the moral standards are as high as can be thought of, to near perfection.>> <<@MrGuzmanra says : God may know what is right and wrong but how do humans know what that is.>> <<@larzman651 says : The only morality that matters is what comes from GOD. [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast>> <<@JadDragon says : It all points back to God. Jesus lives! ♥️ and is Yahweh God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑>> <<@ForgivenMuch says : “Tactics” is a good recommendation.>> <<@foreverendeavoramen333 says : Courageous young lady! This Holy Spirit is kindling amongst the quenching, and will again burn bright & righteous amongst our Christian brethren- 🔜 SOON. 🙏🏻✝️☺️>> <<@DM-dk7js says : Morality is subjective. It’s a fact. People disagree about morality. Some issues are not black and white, and some are determined by culture. It’s subjective, guys. Give it up already. You’re just refusing to accept reality at this point.>> <<@festushaggen2563 says : Yeah, the "morality is subjective" argument ends real fast when you go against their beliefs. Tell them that slavery is good and they'll jump out of their skin to tell you you're wrong. Not possible if it's subjective.>>
