We should not accept justifications for moral positions that depend upon the truth of unevidenced claims (religious or otherwise). @sjzara

@PhilosophyExp Ah yes. I see your point. It's a good one.
@sjzara It's a baby and bathwater thing. There's a fuck of a lot of dirty bathwater floating around, but maybe a baby worth remembering.

@PhilosophyExp@sjzara But surely those ‘babies’ are borne from simple humanitarianism? Nothing to do with religion as such? -
@chrisadwebb@sjzara Is that true historically & culturally? -
@PhilosophyExp@sjzara I would suggest so - do you have something specific in mind? -
@chrisadwebb@sjzara I have lots of things in mind - e.g., "Let him who is without sin..." - but it's a genetic fallacy to suppose that...

@PhilosophyExp@sjzara If the baby made all those water dirty I'm DEMANDING it to be thrown away. A lesson to all water-dirtying babies. -
@Nazifpour@sjzara The baby didn't make the water dirty. That's to misunderstand the analogy (which frankly is getting a bit cumbersome). :) -
@PhilosophyExp@sjzara Well let's throw it away anyway as a lesson to whomever did it (I've been joking :P ) -
@PhilosophyExp@sjzara You just want to save that damn baby
