      I’ll never get over the slavery angle. Like, right after delivering your people from generations of slavery would have been the perfect opportunity to go “We’re not doing that shit again.”

        No no you don’t get it, God had to allow slavery because there was no way the humans in that time would put up with not having slaves. He had to make some concessions. Telling everyone to cut off their baby’s foreskin though, that’s fair game

    Getting any part of one’s body inside a dead carcass has nothing to do with morals…. It’s fucking DISGUSTING! Remember that piece of meat is currently being eaten and digested by billions of bacterias. All eating and defecating everywhere inside and out… flies have burrowed eggs in it, worms are crawling everywhere, and all this is releasing toxic gases from all the rotting and digesting…. Also all the sphincters have released so the bowels are leaking out …! Nope…nope….nope….!!!

    Putting aside the “why the hell would you want to do that?” aspect, let’s assume that you’re the guy in the picture and you do. It would be morally wrong even if the deer were alive because a non-human animal cannot give consent. It’s wrong after it’s dead because it’s disrespectful to the deer, which was once a living being. Don’t need religion to understand that.

      But people eat the deer with zero moral qualms. Are you really going to tell me that yanking something’s skin off, cracking its bones, gouging out its internal organs, and processing its meat into sausages for roasting is a sign of respect?

        If the animal represents your only available food source, consuming it is required to continue living.

        You aren’t going to die if you fail to rape a dead animal, but you might if you fail to eat one.

      I don’t think you’ll get consensus on the “it’s disrespectful” reasoning. It might not be inherently religious (although most religions I’m aware of expand upon it to specific procedures or prohibitions) but “respecting” the vessel which once contained a life seems very much tied up in sentimentality and woowoo more than sound reasoning or pragmatism. It’s just engrained into social norms at this point but, purely speculation, burial and burning were probably done for the same reasons other animals do it - you don’t attract other predators or suffer the scent of death inviting maggots, flies and other vectors for disease. It probably became more ritualistic and religious over time. If I’m dead someone can dangle my lads from their rearview like a pair of fuzzy dice for all I care - which will be not at all because I’m dead.

      I mean there are evolutionary reasons most humans feel disgust towards things, in this case mainly the spread of disease. If none of these were problems, there isn’t really a good moral case to be made against it unless you believe in some sort of afterlife.

    I think the hypothetical doesn’t have much to do with morality. There is no moral reason not to. But there are other reasons.

    Actions don’t have to be immoral for them to be judged or questioned. People who’d have sex with a dead deer aren’t hurting anyone, but they are making choices that would ordinarily lead one to be sceptical of them as a person and be weary of other choices they might have made you are not aware of and if the choices they will make in the future.

      Douglas Adams actually explored this. In The Restaurant at The End of the Universe, Arthur is waited upon by a sentient bovine creature whose species wants to be eaten and spend their lives conditioning themselves to be as succulent as possible.

          genetically forced

          Dude is deep as the 10th circle of hell.

          Cuz like are they forced? They were spawned by the infinitely possible universe. Implying that free will itself is fundamentally constrained by biology, or perhaps the deterministic nature of the universe itself.

          It reminds me of the lyrics,

          Are we not good enough?

          Are we not brave enough?

          Is the violence in our nature

      I don’t think objects without a subjective experience need to give or are capable of giving consent. I don’t think anyone needs to ask their fleshlight for consent, e.g.

      If it were a living deer, then it would need to give consent but be unable to. (I think it’s reasonable to say any supposed communications from the deer is less trustworthy than “Facilitated Communication”, and not sufficient consent.)

      I mean, it’s not like we care about consent when it comes to the animals we eat, or whose secretions we drink. Weird to draw the line at sex/rape, but not at killing/murder.

      It’s like that book is used to engineer the culture, which is our operating system. Hey, lemme just make sure of something; are you aware that the New Testament describes a decentralized autonomous organization of secret police at an eighth grade reading level? The shit that’s encoded in that good book is what makes the police state about two thousand years old. But you know Trump and Epstein and the Clintons and Hunter Biden are all cops, right? You’re not retarded because you are so attached to your identity that you can’t see what is intentionally “hidden?”

      “Occult” literally just means “hidden.” What don’t you know?

    The argument the joker Garfield is trying to make is that, in a standard proof format, can you define your ethics in an axiomatic system? He thinks that’s important, and it is to a degree, but our intuition also tells us details about reality that our pure logic brain is ignorant of. Pure logic makes the Borg. Pure intuition stays in Eden, being as Lilith was. Logic and intuition together make the Federation of Star Trek.

    The most baffling aspect of religious-thinking, to me, is the argument that “if you don’t have these texts telling you what is right and what is wrong,” how do you know / from where do you learn? It’s pretty goddamned easy, friend. I don’t treat others in ways that I wouldn’t want to be treated. I don’t need anyone telling me to act this way.

    1. It is plainly a biological hazzard.

    2. Most people generally feel no attraction to a dead animal so maybe talk to a therapist about that.

    But technically not moral issues, sure. You got us there, corpsefucker. Though, if it were capable of expressing its desire to not be fucked as a corpse before it died, we would want to respect that as part of the same social contract wherein we don’t want our corpse fucked.

          The thing with Hadith is that they are stories/sayings attributed to his companions. That kind of commentary is about how trustworthy it is - how close to the original source, who relayed it… same as any historical analysis. It’s a scholar saying the evidence isn’t in the sayings favor for being historical.
