[@Bishop] No, I disagree. My inaction led to a situation where he could not escape being exposed. And it isn't that suicide is inevitable. It isn't done [i]to[/i] him, but done [i]by[/i] him. How is it my responsibility if someone chooses to off themselves? The answer is that it's not. There's no moral dilemma here; the person couldn't handle the weight of his own choices and made a bad choice, something totally unrelated to me. You can live for good even in an isolated environment. Our responsibilities as humans extend far beyond just interpersonal communications. You do bring up an interesting question, however: at what point does inaction become evil? Again, I argue that it never does; rather the intentions of the person committing the action or inaction are what constitutes his state of good or evil. If I pass a homeless person on the street, it would be [i]good[/i] to give him food. Would it be evil to pass him by? No, probably not. Is someone starving and begging me in my excess for a moresel to eat and I refuse? Yes, I probably would be committing evil. I'm glad you said that—we can get to the heart of the problem. Either good and evil are objective or they do not exist at all. Instead of going about this in the usual emotional way, consider it from the perspective of beauty, something we can agree if subjective. In my eyes, modern art is, for the most part, stupid and pointless and lacks the meaning that people claim it has. Is my view on beauty objectively superior to any other? Even someone who thinks all art is beautiful or ugly? No, not at all. And if I considered all art beautiful and I made something hideous and called it beauty, I wouldn't get arrested for it (this will be important later). [i]However[/i], the only reason that we can have these subjective and differing views of beauty is necause beauty is [i]not[/i] an inherent or intrinsic quality of anything on Earth. It is [i]entirely[/i] a figment of the human mind and only has any existence because humans, for the most part, agree that it exists. But you cannot claim that beauty exists in reality beyond the human concept of it, unless you manage to find some beauty quark that physicists aren't aware of. Therefore, if morality follows the same abstract and subjective definition that beauty holds, then people can consider anything, nothing, or everything good/evil and there is [i]no logical reason[/i] for there to be any consequence resulting from the holding or execution of such a belief. If morality doesn't exist because it is subjective, then feeding a homeless person and killing him are equally valid options with no inherent superiority. And, in that same vein, it is illogical to face any consequence for doing so because A) I haven't done anything wrong and B) Because if we base good and evil on our perspective of it rather than the fact that it doesn't exist, I still haven't done anything wrong if I believe that murder isn't evil. We don't arrest people for creative ugly art, in the same way we shouldn't arrest people for doing anything they believe is good or not evil. Perhaps you wish to argue that in the same way we only perceive beauty as real because we agree it is as a society, we perceive murder as "evil," and therefore we agree that people should be punished for it. However, in doing so, you inadvertently admit that the position held by society is illogical. Under this perspective, the [i]objectively[/i] superior societal structure (in terms of logical foundation) is anarchy, in which the only consequence for action or inaction is what others decide to execute. If you desire to take that stance, very well—it's the road that many high profile naturalists end up down, and we can agree that our axioms differ. However, if you wish to argue that society [i]ought[/i] to be some way that takes good and evil into consideration, then the stance falls apart under inspection of its parts. I can answer this rather succinctly. No human decides what is moral or amoral. If you want to go down the road of Christian theology, then the answer of "who goes to Hell?" Is "Anybody who does not ask God for forgiveness and do good as defined by him."
