  • That's a good faith interpretation, but I've never seen a comment like this that isn't whining "but what about men".

    The comment is saying: "oh, so we are pointing out that sending people to places like these is bad when it's happening to women, but not when it's happening to men", which is whataboutism, derailment, and a misreading of the article.

  • Said who, besides you?

    No, sending men there is not OK; but yes, sending pregnant people and children there is indeed even worse than sending men and women in good health there.

    Glad to have cleared that up for you! As soon as you've worked on your reading comprehension, I recommend looking up the term "straw-man argument".

  • Either your argument is that morality is somehow "god given" through religion, in which case I have to ask, which god? Which religion? There's a lot of those around or no longer around, with different nuances of morality, contradicting that idea.

    Or each civilization developed religion and incorporated their respectove ideas about morality, but then morality necessarily precedes religiosity.

    Either way, doesn't make sense.

    Besides, the idea that a fear of god is necessary to make people "moral" is ridiculous. If you would commit immoral atrocities if you didn't believe in god, then I'm sorry, that makes you a bad person; but don't project that unto other people.

    Empathy is sufficient for morality, while god, arguably, is an amoral monster.

    Cheers, a moral atheist

  • For some people, definitely. But finding an entire startup worth of those people is (IMO) more difficult/unlikely than at least some of those starting there and talking themselves into not feeling guilty (if not for us, someone else would do it; we are not being as terrible as those others would be; it's a tool, it's not our fault people are applying it to minors etc.!; ...)
