Well then you might be morally superior to the god of the bible. Congratulations.

@Pikachu No. I'm not morally superior to the God of the bible or anything. It is a very ignorant way to consider ourselves as morally superior to anyone or anything. No one is purely perfect, including our morally superior.
This is not about being perfect. I'm sure not perfect moral.
But answer me this: If i have murdered a hundred people and you have murdered none, are you morally superior to me?

@Pikachu That still doesn't change the fact that no one is morally superior to others. You have murdered many people doesn't mean I'm morally superior to you because I don't murder anyone. Morally superior only apply to those who are fully pure in their moral. And I'm not pure. If there are plenty of mistakes in our moral, then we wouldn't consider as morally superior.
It doesn't matter what type of bad thing that we have done. If these things relate to our moral, then there would be no morally superior for us.

No i don't think it does at all. It's a scale, not a dichotomy. If i cheat at cards that's a morally wrong act. If i murder a man, that's a worse morally wrong act. If person a) would cheat at cards but would never commit the worse at of murder, they are morally superior to person b) who would.

@Pikachu That person A cheat at cards, and as you mention above, "If I cheat at cards that's a morally wrong act."; that means they are not morally superior.
As I said before, [b]it doesn't matter what [u]type of bad thing[/u][/b] that we have done. If these things relate to our moral, then there would be no morally superior for us. There would be no comparison.
So if you were a judge and two men were put before you and one had stolen a cell phone and the other had raped a girl, you would give them the same sentence?
If not, why not?

@Pikachu Based on what their crime had committed to, I would not give them the same sentence. Rape and burglar are two different things. Morally, they are both bad.
And what I mean in my previous comment is that none of their immoral would compare to one another whether which [b]immoral[/b] is better to be considered as morally superior to the other.
No i think we're having a bit of a communication problem actually. When you say you're talking about their morals, can you elaborate on what you're referring to?
There would be no comparison of immorality in this situation. Their criminal activity is different, but their morality is no different. Their bad action is different, but their immoral is the same. So there is no morally superior involve in this. The comparison only applies to criminal action, not for morality. And again, there is no morally superior in this. Both of them are bad, so none of them is morally superior to the other.
As I said before, it doesn't matter what type of bad thing that we have done. If these things relate to our moral, then there would be no morally superior for us.
'Morally superior' can only compare between a person that [u]never[/u] commit to any bad thing that relates to morality and a person that committed to any bad thing that relates to morality.
This is my opinion. I answer your question. But it seems that your purpose of asking an opinion question is about getting how much agreement from others to your point; not about understanding and receiving many different opinions from others. If your post is asking about the opinion of others, then why would you try to change their opinion to agree with you?
If you try to change people opinion to follow your opinion, then that is not their opinion. That is yours. And this post, this thread, is only about your opinion, not others. So why would you have to post an opinion question when you want people to follow your opinion?

Awww. That bums me out. Before i got to that part, I was literally just preparing to acknowledge that we have a different idea of how morality works, agreeing to disagree and thanking you for the discussion.
Thanks anyway, i guess.

@Pikachu When I post an opinion question, I would never try to change others opinion to follow mine. That is how I learn by trying to understand others point before I can share them mine. I acknowledge that everybody has a different point of view, and each point of view all has its own value. And I value the diversity of opinion.
We were having a discussion, an exchange of points of view and at the end i was just trying to get a better understanding of what you were saying. Sorry if that came across that i was demanding that you agree with me.
