I guess that kind of contradicts itself, doesn't it?
00:00:04.320
I don't know if I want to answer that question.
00:00:27.220
I feel like it's all opinion based, like your beliefs, what you believe.
00:00:40.840
So there really isn't any absolute truth, it just depends on opinion?
00:00:53.140
So you're absolutely sure that you're right about there not being absolute right?
00:00:58.500
I guess that kind of contradicts itself, doesn't it?
00:01:07.040
So if someone has an opinion and their opinion is wrong, can someone tell them that their
00:01:16.020
I feel like an opinion can't be wrong, because that's your own thought, that's how you feel
00:01:27.020
So I feel like you can't be wrong for feeling how you feel about something.
00:01:31.920
I feel like people could view it as not the right way to feel, but I don't know.
00:01:40.380
Everyone has their own opinion on things and what's right and what's wrong.
00:01:45.680
is there a higher law to how we conduct ourselves is there like something that we
00:01:50.320
should conduct ourselves is there like a higher truth or is everything relative
00:01:56.640
i think everything is just the way you want it to be like there's obviously like a
00:02:06.000
like truths that we follow by but i don't feel like they're like set in stone
00:02:12.640
i'm looking at the cross around your neck do you think god set a higher law and that he sets what's
00:02:25.160
right and what's wrong i feel like he has a way that he believes is right and wrong but that
00:02:34.280
doesn't necessarily mean that what he believes is right and wrong is right and wrong because
00:02:39.040
there's a lot of things that God says is right, and people do not believe that that is right.
00:02:46.120
That's the way things should be. But God, as you could say, would say, that that's the way things
00:02:53.540
should be. So if God says murder or lying is wrong, is he right to say it's wrong?
00:03:05.120
majority of it is yes in a way it's wrong but as i said i feel like there's justification for some
00:03:15.180
like some lies there's definitely like you could be like okay i get why you lied or some murders
00:03:22.700
you could be like okay i get why you did that it doesn't make it right but you could view it as not
00:03:30.280
wrong i happen to view the this logic just a little bit dangerous because you could justify
00:03:39.960
anything the slaveholders in the states could justify slavery like there has to be a higher
00:03:47.960
law otherwise society runs into chaos obviously it was just for it justified at one point because
00:03:53.480
it happened. Yes, but it was wrong. Yes, but we see it as wrong now. They didn't see it as wrong
00:04:02.100
back then. They thought it was okay. Some people did, some people didn't. And I guess it's opinion
00:04:09.480
based. It is opinion based. Well, the fact that they thought slavery was good is opinion based,
00:04:16.040
But whether slavery was right or wrong, is that opinion-based?
00:04:27.940
I don't know if I want to answer that question.
00:04:33.220
It's no problem, but I'm trying to make you think here, right?
00:04:42.720
and there is a higher law and if we believe that there's a god and a higher law then there is also
00:04:50.260
a standard and a truth a higher truth than what we dictate so i'm like just think about it right
00:04:57.860
and read your bible and see if god like it's not whether you think god is right but whether you
00:05:05.360
judge and see oh maybe god is right because he created everything and he knows what's right
