Any supposed difference seems ultimately to amount to nothing other than a difference in feeling.

This In Response to my claim that there was a difference between something being wrong and feeling wrong.
That is why I have pointed out that the feeling wrong is usually connected to harmful events. — Andrew4Handel
Any moral intuition I have now is based on actual harm not on my emotional response to it. — Andrew4Handel
I don't see how you can present a moral argument that relies on how you feel. — Andrew4Handel
My moral nihilism does not result from my failure to emotionally respond to harm but the lack of evidence of moral authority and moral facts. Moral nihilism does not entail that you believe all behaviour is acceptable but rather that there are no moral facts. — Andrew4Handel
The problem with my past outlook is that I tolerated harm to myself. — Andrew4Handel
I don't need to have developed morally to stop tolerating harm to myself. — Andrew4Handel
The reason I see that a lot of people do not leave things like religion is because they haven't experienced the harm. I am gay and grew up in a fundamentalist background so that was obviously going to be more harmful to me than to my heterosexual siblings. — Andrew4Handel
I am certainly not a masochist so I cannot stay indefinitely in a harmful environment. In a very banal way non moralistic way I consider any non harmful environment better than a harmful environment. — Andrew4Handel
The fact you haven't divulged your personal circumstances here does not make your position less emotive than mine it just makes it less grounded in facts. If my position seems more emotive than yours then based on your own position that lends it more credibility. — Andrew4Handel
