Description [̲̅w̲̅][̲̅a̲̅][̲̅r̲̅][̲̅n̲̅][̲̅i̲̅][̲̅n̲̅][̲̅g̲̅].
I cuss without realising I'm doing it. I offend people easily, and my opinion is almost always set in stone.

My Ethics lessons actually teach me some shit. Which is odd. Maybe it's 'cause the teacher's hot.

Dictionary definition;
philosophy theory of objective values: a philosophical theory in which values such as truth or morality are absolute and not conditional upon human perception

Didn't get that?
Shit is ether bad or good. No gray area. Black or white no matter what.


As I've studdied this ridiculous idea, I know the holes in it, and there are many.

[̲̅1̲̅] No one is ever going to all conform to your rules.
[̲̅2̲̅] Who makes up these rules? Why should we trust them? Jebus says so? wut.
[̲̅3̲̅] With Absolutism, with there only being dead right and dead wrong, there would be only one religious belief, and thus, no other cultures. and thus almost stopping dead in progression of the human race.
[̲̅4̲̅] If absolutism was sent through about 250(?) years ago, Black people would still be slaves, and that's A-okay.
[̲̅5̲̅] There is no 'in some cases'. If a poor man stole medicine for a dying child that would die otherwise, from a massive company that would not even notice it was gone, hell, he's a naughty man >:I

I believe that there is an objective way of treating people that would better them, grant them basic rights and freedom without mistreating or punishing people unjustly.
But I also believe that there is no person on this earth that has yet discovered it. They might've discovered bits of it, but not all of it.

Ok? You wanna argue? If you do, I love arguing, but I wouldn't argue about Pokemon. If ur super religious that works best for me, as I am against religion.

In most cases absolutionism is stupid. Get it? It's funny because I'm saying even absolutionism's stupidity isn't absolute. *crickets chirp*
I fail at jokes.

When I hear absolutism I always think of political state of mind when it's absolute power of monarchs. I was near to rant that absolutism gave a lot to my country, especially when it comes to Peter the Great.
I've never dealt or heard about this philosophical term, however.

As a Christian myself, I believe that there are situations where things are more complicated than that. There isn't always a clear-cut black and white answer. I believe in a fair God, and if God is fair, he'd understand why you did what you did under the circumstances, like your example of a poor man stealing medicine for the dying child.

Yes, stealing is wrong, but in that situation, what else could he do? I think God would forgive him for that.

I found a sane christian on the internet, Be proud of yourself for having such an understanding like that, it's definately a good thing to have . I've met quite a few on this site that actually believe in absolutism.

It's the same for any group of people. Extreamists set the bar, and everyone sees everyone else that way. Human nature, we steryotype people.
