The world is a market place of ideas and beleifs football fan, and just like politics the "right" of any situation is whatever viewpoint that wins out over time if you want a defnition of ethics that is world-based and utilitarian. And when people are killing others for a flippant attitude, even if towards a sacred beleif, then yes I also find it morally ethical to try to change a culture's beleifs. Less conflict happens that way. |
Supercat I disagree with just about everything you just said.
Let me ask you this lets say you like regular milk and I like chocalate milk do you think we should fight to the death to decide which is better then the winner gets to decide which type of milk is the only milk people from that time forward should be able to drink? And to what end? Will we have a death match to decide everything in life untill every single person on earth is an automiton with the exact same views as "the leader".
That sounds a lot like Hitlers idea of the world to me.
And i'd like to add that humans will always fight and kill one another, even if there were no religion at all humans would still have wars.

you are purposefully misinterpreting me and you keep doing this. I think that it would be easy to realize that when I am talking about one opinion winning over another that the process would be with words not guns or knives. Debating with you is highly annoying because of this.

No, i'm not. Would my position change if I had said we'll have a debate to decide which type of milk is better?
Basically as I understand it (based on this statement: "then yes I also find it morally ethical to try to change a culture's beleifs. Less conflict happens that way.") your saying people should force other people to belive as they do in order to provide stability and what I am saying is it's wrong to try to force ones views on anyone else. And on top of that history has shown that forcing ones views only causes the other side to entrench themselves in there own view even further thus causing more conflict.
