So you can know all the facts and do the wrong thing, but it’s okay if you haven’t thought about the ethics very hard? That seems like a troublesome system. Doesn’t it incentivise people to avoid reasoning about their own actions?
I mean, (at least at this point in time) Catholicism doesn’t claim to know exactly on that specific issue.
That would be my position, I think; I might think you may be being too black and white about how people process information and how easy that is or isn’t.
But, if that’s too lenient for you, I’m sure you could find other Catholics who take a more concrete or defined stance. There simply isn’t any definive dogma, yet, promulgated by the church on exactly where the line is on how much your struggling with an issue is sufficient enough for God.
Perhaps I’m too lenient but I do think that most people don’t decide to do things because they think it’ll make the world worse; that’s just me, though.
Drag is very disappointed in most people because they don’t think very hard about the consequences of their actions. They do bad stuff like driving cars, voting Republican, eating meat. Drag always wondered where people picked up this nasty habit.
Christianity says that people eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is sin. In other words, knowing right from wrong is bad. Do you think Christianity is responsible for people today being so unwilling to think about the consequences of their actions?
