Discussion questions: What moral theory do you gravitate to? What do you think is the most important thing to consider when evaluating the morality of an action?
It seems I've always been leaning a lot to Deontology. I agree, what is good is what is logical. For instance, we live a society that forbids violence. Because we are free to persue happiness when we feel safe. When communities work together, we are stronger and more capable. Treasuring the sanctity of human life is treasuring your own value. Having common decency for all is a tide that raises all ships. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. X=Y. "Hello X" btw. Heaven is when we care and respect eachother, Hell is when we are cynical people eating eachother alive. I am not even religious, I just think heaven and hell are places on earth, decided by each and every community. But if there is a heaven and hell, I would theorize Heaven rocks and hell sucks, "soully" because the people sorted into each. Also, what naturally pisses me off the most of something unjust is the intentions too. With the exception of gross negligence. Because I do resent thier selfish inconsideration of other's well being. I stand in solidarity with my fellow human being, I think that is just. I will do onto them, only what I would wish they do onto me.
I would like to present the kinky Kant dilemma. If we should always treat someone as the end and not the means or object through which to meet some end then should people who have the kink of wanting to be sexually objectified and degraded be morally condemned and encouraged to give up their fettish? If so wouldn’t morally condemning that individual interfere with their freedom of expression in the privacy of their own sex-life thereby treating them as the means to enforce a moral code and not the end of what that code is trying to protect?
Thank you, there's a lot to learn here for me. I'd have to watch the video a few more times I think. I'm still trying to place the puzzle pieces here... for some reason I feel that christian ethics doesn't fit any of these completely... it's a bit of each right? Is there a diagram of various ethics views and how they overlap with each other and with religious systems?
Christian ethics falls sort of between Deontology and Virtue ethics; it's often easier to see Deontology in the Old Testament and Virtue ethics in the New. Ten commandments are a great example of Deontology, Jesus's sermon on the mount seems more Virtue ethic-y (to me at least) as it focuses hard on the character of the person practicing the laws, as manifested by their intent. Some of Paul's writings sort of straddle the two schools of thought as well.

I really struggle to understand things out of my interest. I barely understand a thing.
You’re just reading it, we need explanation!!😊
