Philosophy 201 Guidelines
Cogito ergo sum
Here in the Philosophy forum we will talk about all the "why" questions. We'll have conversations about the way in which philosophy and theology and religion interact with each other. Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

Originally posted by seer View PostIt seems that if materialism/atheism is true no behavior could rightly be considered abnormal. Not homosexuality, pedophilia, not transgenderism, not bestiality. If psychologically there is no objectively right way for a human to act or be, what behavior couldn't be considered normal for our species? Certainly things like murder or rape, though practiced less, would have to be considered normal.

Over time behavior is largely determined by what has the greatest survival advantage for the species, and Pedophilia do not have a survival value for the survival of the species. A diversity of behaviors will exist in human sexuality, but the dominant sexual behaviors that insure the successful reproduction and the survival of the species will always be in the majority. This is true of other primate species, which indeed do have more primitive social structure and morality including punishing violations.

I believe one example is the trend from polygamy to monogamy over time as dominant the world standard. Another is the progressive trend of the end of all forms of slavery.Last edited by shunyadragon; 04-25-2019, 04:56 PM.
