some people believe that stealing, lying and killing, is not moral.
some people don't.. does morality exist?
if so, prove it..
How about actions that affect non concious beings like throwing garbage into the ocean?
The moral dimension of dumping rubbish in the ocean comes from the fact that conscious creatures will be affected by our pollution.
We could happily dispense with the words morality and ethics and nothing would change. We would still be concerned about the implications of our actions on the well-being of other creatures. They are just convenient labels.

I agree with SBF's sandcastle illustration. There is no such thing as absolute morality.
Morality is just the name we give to our concerns about how our actions affect other conscious beings. So yes of course it exists.
I think you need to think through your question a bit more.

hi guys.
sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.
just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.
Are there any questions your religion does now allow you to discuss - SBF
That is excellent.

I don't think there are any questions that could not be dealt with to the self-satisfaction of an informed JW.
I do think it's worth challenging JWs as it may have a cumulative effect over time but there are no magic bullets. If a JW is reasonable it's probably better to try to reach the authentic self behind the cultish facade.
It really doesn't seem right to any decent human being to shun a family member because they have different beliefs about supernatural things. It isn't right that a child should die for lack of a transfusion. It can't be a moral good that they pray every day for the destruction of 99.999% of the earth's population, and so on.
I sometimes adopt the role of sympathetic confessor and watch their discomfort.
Of course they won't agree with you in public but you might trigger an internal struggle.
the modern history is full of deep, dark tragedies.
and, my intention, as i sat down to write of those tragedies for a fb page i look after for a macquarie university student society, was to tell the story of these very dark contemporary events.
but east asia history is complex and i think its helpful to try to have an overview of that history to understand what has happened in the recent past.

No you won't.
i think everyone has the freedom to protest, they also have freedom of speech, these are two fundamental things that make america amazing.
but thinking rationally about what is going on with the nfl, therefore, i have an unfavorable opinion of the league, and the players, not their right to free speech, but their motive and execution of it.
constitutional freedom to protest ends at the workplace door too.
I would recommend doing some research from unbiased sources to try to find the answers
I did. The facts do not seem to support the narrative of racism.

Why is police brutality against African-Americans more worthy of attention than police brutality against white Americans? The USA seems to have a problem with too many unsuitable police officers in general.
Can you imagine the outrage if the nurse who refused to take a blood test without consent had been black!

Nothing but virtue signalling by some of the most privileged black men in the USA.
