• It should be considered morally fine to leave your S.O. because they're suffering from a severe physiological illness such as cancer... even if it's actually because of said illness.

  I'm confused about what 'considered morally fine' would even mean here because people who agree on what is generally the right or wrong thing still do make exceptions when presented with a moral dilemma. Like, I can agree no one is entitled to other people's politeness, yet at the same time that being nice is 'the right thing to do', because people don't need a defense for being nice. If I asked "Should it be... Source: 11 months ago

• Hello! I'm a MDiv student, and I'm wondering: what made you leave Catholicism? AMA, if you wish.

  The first question is an easy one for me. I'd say it's not. There are degrees of certainty that one can have about anything, even testable hypotheses (check out David Hume's problem of induction if you enjoy an example) are uncertain to some extent. You could say that we all have a kind of faith in a worldview supported by some kinds of reasons—good or bad—and this isn't to say that we believe things blindly, but... Source: about 1 year ago

• why is it to hard to make a decision in ethical dilemmas?

  Generally, this is due in part to "Trolley Problems" of varying degrees. While these problems were intended to be absurd examples of ethical dilemmas, what is not so absurd are real life situations where difficult decisions have to be made. Source: about 1 year ago

• Hardline stance:

  Also, Trolley Problems assume that you have some knowledge ahead of time. The entire discussion becomes a moot point if every time someone makes a choice you go "AH HA, you actually killed Ghandi and let Hitler live!" I'd recommend you try out Absurb Trolley Problems, link: https://neal.fun/absurd-trolley-problems/, to learn more about how a Trolley Problem is formatted.

• Hypothetically: would you eat animal products for a large sum of money?

  This is the classic trolley diverting dilemma. If you divert the trolley, you kill a schoolbus of children, but if you keep the trolley on the tracks you will kill an old grandma. Technically, there is no correct answer. It is simply a matter of what the individual making the decision values more - (Some would say the answer is obvious, but it gets more and more complex..
