Strongly Disagree but it should also be "what the hell are you talking about?" Tongue

If we assume that there do not exist any moral things, then it logically follows, mathematically speaking, that all moral things are immoral. Smiley

I don't believe in Morality or Immorality. It's all up to a person's own view.

Why are people taking this topic seriously? I was just doing a parody of the "Being ____ is immoral" threads, although Frodo once again deleted his.

That guy needs his edit button turned off.

Agree -- as a proud member of the immoral minority, I object to all morality.

you seem to be contradicting the case that you so convincingly made elsewhere that there is no objective morality.

Isn't that like trying to divide by 0?

If Morality = 0, Morality (-1) = 1/0?

Yes, following your own moral standards is most definitely immoral.  A more atrocious thing I cannot begin to fathom.

No, it's more an odd quirk of set theory.  If a set A is empty, then for all possible properties P, every member of A has the property P because it is impossible to find a member of A that does not have property P.

Empty sets are funny because you can have something that is true of every member of the set that is not true of any single member of the set.

Acctually, if you do acts, regularly, with the sole purpose of doing the moral thing, without really doing it because you want to do the right thing, I can see how that would be immoral.  It's basically just doing something, because you think it will get you a ticket to Heaven.
