I'm clarifying SilentSam's original argument. Saying that atheists have "no unified moral rule set" means that each has different morals. There is no objective truth in opinions
I actually believe that there is only objective truth, and no "opinions". I follow the works of Kant and Rothbard.
And I actually don't believe that, so there's one example of how people can have different opinions. To bring it back to Sam's point, this shows we don't have a unified view on this
Opinions dont matter to reality is my point. Unification of opinion doesn't mean anything logically or morally.
I'm not sure if even that is defensible, if a person has conflicting opinions and is in a position of power, they can matter greatly. For example Hitler's opinions on Jews/Gypsies
That has nothing to do with moral or logical truth. Your conment is off-topic.
It isn't off topic, but I'm beginning to doubt if you even know what you're talking about
So you are only talking about a small subset of truths, and statements?
I don't understand your question.
You specified "moral or logical truth" in response to Hibuddha's question. So I am asking if you were only talking about that subset of true statements on the issue of objective truth.
Moral truth is a subset, logical truth is the whole genre.
So was his example off topic? If a person subjective opinion has power to enforce their subjective opinion on others, one could say subjective opinion can matter objectively.
In that instance its not the opinion that matters, but the guns.
You could say the guns enforced the opinions. I think it was the influence that spread the opinion to others though. The ideology mattered.
No, your ideology doesn't objectively "matter" just because you can enforce it on others. You're playing a word game here.
The ideology was not enforced so much as it spread. The people were not against the ideology.
That's a VERY strange argument, opinions aren't always in response to objective, factual circumstances
For example, the question "What should we do tonight?" has no objective truth, it forms entirely subjective opinions depending on who you ask
