That's because the only possible response to the "Roadkill Sex" hypothetical is "It just is".
It's simply a deeper, instinctual "Nope" that goes beyond morality.
It's inherently wrong.

The comments are full of people who can't objectively explain why the post is morally gross, which is why the argument works.

@ThePaddedMeowth You are just saying people who don't think like you can't be rational

Slavery in the Old Testament was more like indentured servitude. It was the only feasible welfare policy for the destitute. You swapped your personal liberty for security in a household. You said, "Please house and feed me and mine, and we will work for you."
Otherwise, what was there? No centralized center for distributing goods, and for nomadic peoples, no centralized anything for anything.
The Old Testament also made rules to keep the evil of the practice to a minimum. For example, slaves could be educated and often rose to high positions, e.g., as advisors to royalty.
Slaves could become wealthy and buy their freedom.
If you kidnapped someone and made him a slave, you were put to death.
If a slave escaped from his master for whatever reason, you were not allowed to return him.
If you harmed so much as a tooth of your slave, you had to let him go free—in other words, no person was allowed to keep a slave if he mistreated him or her.
Slavery in Western countries would never even have gotten off the ground had these rules been followed; the first rule alone would have prevented it.

@NancyRPearcey Same chapter: “Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.”

@MoronMining Or it's better you all just hate women, want to beat them and want to remove their right to vote or say no

You know they're talking about abortion rights. Libs will literally argue that birth rates are low because women in conservative states aren't allowed to kill their babies.

@OrthodoxOrigen Modern Christian ethics are completely removed from the Bible
English
In the 3rd and 4th centuries Christian authors had to explain in their writings why women and slaves should have an equal place in the afterlife to emperors and men.
The claim that contemporary Western ethics are just universal inclinations is evidently false.

@Knight10293847 It was supposed to be much longer and the city was gonna be way bigger but they were running out of time, each act is less complex than the last.

@TBDF12 My issue with Act 3's writing is that it clashes with the momentum generated with Act 2's ending. It results in a Act 3 that feels like its disconnected. You saw armies marching onto the city and then nothing happens. Nothing is really explained why and the momentum is just lost.
English
It sucks that the only people criticizing BG3 are anti-woke nut heads. There are legit issues with BG3 yet they can't help themselves but say "The gay little bitch vampire is the problem." No man. Its the fact that the Act 3 is bloated as fuck.

@QuetzalPhoenix V literally kidnapped and tortured a woman for months he serves a good cause but he's not good
English
Alan Moore probably just became bitter that his most popular character became a libertarian/right wing icon, and he probably saw a couple of fans at conventions that ticked him off, so he just shits on him these days.
He amplified all these traits for V and he also genuinely hates that he's seen as a hero as well.

Everyone replying to it is just like ‘‘wow so God is the only thing stopping you from having sex with roadkill’’ but none are actually able to answer the question lmao
Rock Solid@ShitpostRock
The best logical fallacy to give an atheist when discussing morals is to ask them why it's morally wrong to have intercourse with roadkill It's dead it will not feel anything, nobody will know and there are no victims If you ask a Christian or Buddhist why it's morally wrong, they will tell you it's because the body retains inherent dignity as part of God's creation (or the sacred flow of life), and desecrating it violates divine/natural order, harms your soul/karma, and shows disrespect, even if no one feels it or knows An atheistic worldview of this question taken to its extreme, concludes that intercourse with roadkill is tantamount to masturbation and nothing more

So, what is the correct strategy here? I want to say: find a single tree and stay on the opposite side- the bison has to travel a much larger circumference to go around it then you do. But not sure if that would work...

It always confuses me when they say that women have “all the power in dating” bc they are the one who say no
Ok but so can you?
You have the exact same power, you can say no

I try so hard to understand what men mean by “women are the gatekeepers of sex” but I never makes sense to me. Like isn’t everyone a “gatekeeper” of their own body? 😭

@Templarpilled It's gotta be so nice the people you were just killing want it.

The 2004 horse looks like something men would build from salvaged wood in the middle of a war.
The 2026 horse implies the Greeks secretly brought an entire division of sculptors with them.

Does this person think married couples having unprotected sex is what caused the AIDS crisis?
a paixão segundo t.h.@methecowboy
e também o catolicismo que impedia os fiéis de userem camisinha :) e também o catolicismo que fez a crise da aids ser ainda pior :) e também o catolicismo que contra a pílula :) a igreja católica não é sua amiga
English
@gringoblunga @EDG_Eat It was the lack of safe sex and gay people didn't use condoms much back then, cause before aids it wasn't a big deal. The church did tell a much of third world nations to not use condoms and that they don't stop AIDS
English
@EDG_Eat I'm pretty ignorant on the topic, but wasn't it primarily homosexuals spreading aids? The catholics have a fairly clear stance on gay sex to begin with.

Dave Ramsey tells a 25 year old not to give his broke mom money in retirement
Caller: "I’m 25 and I’ve been trying to help my mom get out of debt for 3 years. She’s turning 60, wants to retire in 3 years, and still has $40,000 in debt"
Dave: "Tell her, If you need some help, yeah. If you want some coaching, fine but I’m going to be giving you zero money when you’re old, so you probably should figure this out"
“I will help you by teaching you. I will never help you by giving you money, period.”

Young men today have never been more ostracized. There’s not a single place or institution where they can get even an ounce of basic respect.
However, once this horrific system collapses, people will be begging smart, able-bodied young men to come save it. But why should they?
Will any of the solutions people have been scoffing at for years finally be taken seriously? Is society ready to:
• Take political rights away from women
• End our geriatric welfare state
• Dismantle foreign labor and girl boss DEI
• Economically prioritize young men
…along with many other things that young women and older generations consider “extreme.”
So I have to ask, how bad do things have to get before people finally start listening?

@Doc_Pox @memeticsisyphus Many of those African countries are Christian, and those things exist in other Christian nations in the West, by your logic those are things you should support, they are explicitly commanded by the Bible
English
@memeticsisyphus What’s astonishing to me is that western secularists will say things like “everyone knows murder and pedophilia are bad” and then either short circuit or deflect when you point out the cultures currently doing child marriages and genocides/slavery across Africa

A big problem I’m discovering is childless people thinking they came to their own morality sometime around 5-7. Completely ignorant of the work their parents and family put into instructing their morality. They don’t see it. They honestly think they’re the ones who came to their moral sense on their own. It’s the atomistic vision of the self, ignorant to the ties that brought you here.
