And so I guess maybe this is where I wanted to get to in the conversation.
If there aren't any moral facts and I just say, because I said so, and you say, well, that's fair enough, right?
Because that's all we're just, all of us are just doing because I said so, I guess.
Yeah, I don't want democracy because I said so.
I want fascism because I said so.
I want a new Hitler because I said so, right?
Let's say that.
If you can't point at that and say that that's wrong, right?
There's some objective appeal to a standard for why that's really immoral and you shouldn't do it.
then what happens is erosion.
And the reason that erosion happens is because everything becomes permitted.
So, an example of this, I was told with gay marriage that it's no big deal.
It's just like heterosexual people getting married.
Well, okay, what's the argument against three men or four men getting married and then adopting a child?
There really isn't one.
You can't really be consistent and be against that.
Like, where's the consistency issue?
You can say, well, it's the outcomes.
It's like, well, can you prove the outcomes will always be bad?
No.
