A question about absolutes.?

Question

If I say there is an absolute standard of right and wrong, and you disagree saying, there is no such thing as absolutes. My question then is are you absolutely sure there are no absolutes?

Answer 1

You are correct in one sense, that the theory of "there are no absolutes" is itself a logical contradiction. If it's true, then there is an absolute (itself), so it's false.

However, that does not imply that you are correct about the absolute standard of right and wrong -- only that your adversary needs to come up with a better argument against it.

Answer 2

I think absolutes exist in theory only. We set standards of right and wrong, but in reality there are only shades of gray because there are always other factors to be considered before deeming an act right or wrong.

Answer 3

Consciousness is real and physlcal.
Consciousness is real but nonphyslcal.
=============================
We pray the GOD and we do not realize that HE is inside us.
Each of us carries in him the SPIRITUAL PARTICLE
(QUANTUM OF LIGHT - AN ELECTRON).
But we do not realize that HE is inside us.
Behind the habitual forces of nature there is one force hidden - a spiritual one (h - е).
But ITS action is almost completely disguised by the other forces (mechanical, electromagnetic, nuclear,
and chemical and others), therefore it remains unnoticed in an ordinary processes.
But God never operates outside of natural principles.
There are the processes in which He reveals himself.
Therefore, His disclosing is a technical question.
How can we learn it?
For this purpose it is necessary to create the following effects in our computer-brain:
A). Nonlinear effect
B). Superconducting effect
C). Holographic effect
D). Vacuum effect.
Nobody, except for us, can make this technical work.
Only we (by the constant, thin, internal practice) can create conditions for these effects.
This practice has called "a Religious practice".
In this lies an essence of Religion - to establish the communication of a Human being with his Divine origin.

The man acts: 1) at usual under logic program,
2) sometimes on intuition (unconsciousness).
Our computer-brain works on a dualistic basis.
In a usual daily life all we do is done logically, under an influence of our feelings.
On the other hand, in a religious practice it is vital to learn to perceive and to operate:
1) Without the participation of the sense organs.
2) Without the participation of the logic mental processes.
When these conditions will be created, then the opportunity to operate will be given to a QUANTUM OF LIGHT (AN ELECTRON), to OUR DIVINE ESSENCE.
We will acquire new forces, new abilities.
Once again.
An electron's mass is 10-28gr . The size is 10-13sm. A charge is 10-19k .
With these characteristics it is hard for IT to become apparent.
Therefore it is clear, why don't we know IT in an ordinary life.
ITS cognition is achieved by a very hard, thin and laborious work.
This work demands of a person to be obsessed by it.
