Taffer

Once upon a time, I made my parents sweat by asking why we'd be good just for goodness's sake when we knew Santa was watching us at every corner and would reward us for being good.

It's like walking into a bank, pulling out a gun and saying "I'm a poor person. I'm hungry, desperate and I have a weapon pointed at you. So why don't you hand over a large donation purely out of the goodness of your heart?"

I was wondering if you would be interested in discussing this. The key issue with moral claims is that they mean different things to different people. You embrace an ideology that asserts that an innocent that suffers at the expense of the guilty is:

1) Necessary
2) Acceptable

Many people do not align themselves to this style of thinking and I wondered if you are able to counter the issue of moral values, which is not something axiomatic in nature.
