Why are you so afraid of subjective moral reasoning?

Thanks, CPT Jack Durish I watched it twice and have to agree. We lock our doors because we know there are bad people in the world. It's prudence to expect that bad people will do bad things. Subjective principles will differ between regional peoples and their ideologies. There needs to be a common principles that are accepted by all peoples. That said, regionally, even within the same country, morality is still subjective. Globalism and centralized governments will not change that fact.

Good evening CPT,

Isn't subjective moral reasoning kind of New Age? What feels good to you, go ahead and do it?

I prefer laws written down for all to follow. Of course, not all will follow them. But, it is not out of fear that I lock my door.

A solid locked door allows time to counter attack. Just as a secured fence is not to stop. But, to slow down those who are not following the law.

Have a good evening. Thanks for posting a video and asking a question.

CPT Jack Durish This needs context. More people die in the name of religion than for any other reason. Morality is always subjective. A book of laws is not what prevents a person from committing a crime. That is any crime. War Crimes, property crimes, crimes against people, none are prevented by laws. It is moral standing and opposing force that prevent crime. In the video he posed the question "do you lock your doors?" My answer to that is yes, for the protection of the person breaking in. Go to an easier target. I sleep on my couch with a loaded pistol, that I will absolutely use to protect my family. So that locked door is not to keep me safe from them. I don't care. If they break in, they get shot. It is that simple. What stops genocide? Military intervention. All morality is subjective. I would ask this question. Why was Hitler's genocide in Germany fought against while Stalin's genocide in the USSR was not? Morality. Hitler was attacking other countries, as well as those within his own borders so he had to be stopped. Stalin had the good sense to kill within his own borders so nobody cared what he was doing. Subjective morality.
Laws are not subjective. Laws are written to specifically regulate behavior. With a specific list of what is a violation of the law, and the consequences for that violation. Enforcement of those laws is subjective. In a jury trial, two attorneys (or groups of attorneys) will attempt to present evidence that a violation has or has not occurred, and that the accused has or has not committed that violation. The jury hears the evidence, and decides how the case will swing. That is subjective. Each juror is going to look at what was presented through their own moral code, and weigh the evidence differently. Theoretically, having a jury deciding should counter the subjective moral code of each individual, and allow a just decision to be made.
When it comes to the government, the fact that our founding fathers did not trust the government that they were establishing should tell one all they need to know about the morality attached to government.
When it comes to this video, the kid asking the question doesn't come across as asking to generate an honest open discussion. He comes across as asking the question to be a condescending douche.
