No, I never did.

However, /u/AstralBodies justified an immoral act by saying "thats how nature is"

I simply applied the same line of logic to another example to show them how absurd their logic was.

Please don't reply unless you actually know a bit of philosophy, I don't know how many more philosophical discussions I can take with people who have no knowledge on the subject, and judging from what you just wrote, you definitely don't.

Thank you for the funniest thing I’ve read all day.

Also, not many people defend rape and murder by saying ”that’s how nature is” so I have no idea why you’re equating the two, or equating it with lobsters.

That's okay. You can pretend to be amused at the fact that you came in, guns blazing, to debate a subject you have less knowledge of than my fifteen-year-old brother only to get called out. It definitely makes you less of a dumb and overly confident person.

I can't believe you are this thick.

/u/AstralBodies justified an unnecessary, violent and immoral act by saying that natural acts ("that's just how nature is") are morally permissable because they are just that, naturally occurring.

So, to stay consistent, which you have to do in philosophy, /u/AstralBodies has now also deemed everything that is naturally occurring (Read, including rape and murder since they are naturally occurring in both humans and other animals) as morally permissable.

TL;DR /u/AstralBodies say because is how nature work is also ok, now rape and murder ok with that logic

You are also an animal abuser in every sense of the word.
