ok, but what if you think the death penalty is immoral itself?
like, I get YOU don't agree with the position, but you don't actually see how someone COULD be against the death penalty in a moral sense?

It was recent like...within the last year. I was the one arguing that invoking "it's anthropic!" is a slippery slope, though.

sure. I imagine you've seen one of the multiple threads where I've defended my stance on objective morality, which is specifically about identifying objective standards for what it moral.

Really? I thought his point was: "The application of morality is arbitrary as you are invoking it. Explain "why" here and here...then we can talk. Until then, this shit is just arbitrary morals and unjustified whining." XYZ, feel free to correct me.
