"The right to vote is not intrinsic. Whereas morality is immutable."

 I bet that Tent Horn would have said that at some point, and very quickly.

Okay, okay, I confess, I had to look up the definition of 'immutable'.*

"Unchanging over time or unable to be changed."

While we're at it, let's check out 'intrinsic'.

"belonging naturally; essential."

So, in simple English...

The right to vote is not something everyone is entitled to, whereas morality is set in stone.

Let me try another translation...

No one can expect the right to vote but, hey, morality is not up for discussion.

Why is morality not up for discussion?

Robert the mate of Tent says, "CS Lewis said that the moral code is written in our hearts. Religious would say by God."

He went on to mention other people going with evolution as being where morality comes from.

Clive Staples Lewis was a British writer, literary scholar, and Anglican lay theologian.

I don't know whether or not he invented staples or the stapler.

Personally, I don't really care what Clive thought and I'm surprised that Robert is listening to Anglicans.

As for God (humans have worshiped over 5,000 different gods), well.

I got involved with this topic through the 'bloggings' of Robert and Peter. It all seems to have started with Robert being happy that Arizona is banning abortion. 

"It's great to hear that the USA is leading the world in respecting the dignity of life." Robert says. I wonder why he didn't use bigger words when he wrote that? I mean, as a statement, it is easy to understand. That's all good, except that I must say that I'm glad I'm not a woman living in these abortion banning states who might have good reason to need an abortion. Robert would probably say that there are no reasons to justify an abortion. Sounds like Robert might be predetermining what morals we must have. Maybe Robert is one of those 5,000 gods?

Abortion or no abortion?

It seems that there is no middle ground, no room to say, "What if?"

It's unlikely that the pope will ever need an abortion.  Nor Robert.

There is no room for empathy with these old guys.

I think I'd rather have my moral code decided by someone else and preferably not that Staples guy.

Ciao.
