I'm sure intellectuals often use vague generalizations to support their argument.

I have decided that we need moar philosophy. For this reason, I have commissioned my finest word-engineers to create a meta-ethical poll of such devastating clarity that no one shall be even remotely confused by it.

*ahem* I don't know where that came from. Anyway, yeah, I'm a moral objectivist. :P

Premise (1) If God does not exist, then objective moral values do not exist

Premise (2) Objective moral values do exist

Conclusion: Therefore, God exists

BTW, I'm a moral objectivist of course. There are actions which are always wrong no matter what ANYONE thinks. The holocaust would still be wrong if everyone on earth including myself thought otherwise.

repetition totally necessary :P

inaccurate, if everyone on earth thought it was ok then that wouldn't make it wrong. it would make it ok.

that statement really sounds tantamount to declaring that the world would be flat if everyone thought so.

I'd have to say I have my share of worries, but I don't particularly fear death.

I don't want to die, but I'm more than prepared to put myself in harms way for another person.

My fear isn't exactly death, but how I'll die.

I have a strange phobia of cancer, moreso than the average person. That just sounds like a horrible way to die, and even if you live, it still sounds terrifying.

I'm more scared of cancer than possibly any other disease or illness. Just the idea of it growing inside you...uck...
