I dont care what he wants, its not his life to control, im the one living it. He wants me out anyways, so its better for both of us.

@souleaterfan320

That doesn't change anything. Calm down first.

No? Even if we assume that morals do exist, "always respect your parents" wouldn't be one. "Respect your parents so long as they remain worthy of respect" could be, but that's why it's highly relative. Not all parents deserve respect and some deserve it more than others.

@DarkwolfX37

For the sake of simplicity, we'll assume Christian morals being the "moral" side of things, because it allows us to weigh an objective standard.

Deuteronomy 5:16

“Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you."

Leviticus 19:3

"Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God."

Or if you don't like OT

Ephesians 6:1-2

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise),"

No qualifications are ever put on honoring (respecting) one's parents. Obeying, on the other hand, has qualifications (see above), because they must obey God first, and then parents. But at no point does it say to respect/honor them if they have earned it. It's an all-encompassing command that does not fade. The humanistic view, on the other hand, claims relative morals, which might as well be no morals at all because it means nothing; without a static structure to create morality around, it will shift eventually anyway, so there's no room to call something absolutely morally right.

You should really have a heart to heart talk with him about that very subject before you jump to moving out.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

That's highly relative.

@DarkwolfX37

Technically it's binary and objective. If we assume morals to be legitimate and to exist, then one is to always respect his parents. If morals do not exist then one never technically "should" respect them; it would just be something he could do if he so chose.

Sounds good. How about attacking someone with an extremely hard wall between you and them?

@Efficacy

I'd could try to quantum leap through it.

A large object is thrown at you, and you cannot dodge.

@Efficacy

Change the object to be super soft and shock-absorbent.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Some of the ideas you have.

@Efficacy

Uh, give me a situation.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Mind explaining?

@Efficacy

Explaining what?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

@Heroic

Lies.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Either.

@Efficacy

*Nods*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I'm just making sure. Have you thought about how you can use it in tandem with your magic? I'm curious.

@Efficacy

At the same time or in complement to?
