you should watch Bone Tomahawk
My buddy and I were talking about this movie with my ex and her friends about two years ago (transplant uber-progressive Yankees). He used the word "savages" to describe them and I could hear a pin drop until I busted out laughing. Totally appropriate use of the word for what was portrayed in the movie, but they were aghast.

You won't answer the question... is child sacrifice objectively morally wrong and on what basis from your worldview?

I might do a SG1 rewatch. That was a fun show.

So you are morally opposed to child sacrifice, but it isn't objectively morally wrong correct?
I doubt it is uninteresting to you... you were interested enough to make your opinion known on the subject and repeatedly respond. I get it... I wouldn't want to face the reality of moral relativism either.

primitive people were brutal. Who knew?

"Human sacrifice" is kinds the "global warming" of anthropological studies these days. If a researcher can attach "human sacrifice" to their outline, they have a much better shot at getting funding and general academic acceptance of their work.

This is a terrible myth. Even in North America, they weren't some eco friendly people who were peaceful.

Yes... based on the moral relativists reasoning, Hitler gassing the Jews and child sacrifices are not objectively immoral. Your worldview is powerless to stop the Mao's, Hitler's and Stalin's of this world because for the moral relativists logically the only truth is that might is right.

Yes I face people with that worldview everyday. Many believe it without following it to its logical conclusion. I don't hold to that worldview. I would quickly become a nihilist if I held such a worldview. The moral relativist who isn't a nihilist is merely pretending to believe in moral relativism.

just curious, but how were Mao, Hitler and Stalin stopped?

Well Mao and Stalin were not stopped. More accurately stated... for the moral relativist, there cannot be a claim that Mao, Stalin and Hitler were wrong in committing genocide and murder. They did what was accepted by the culture right?
On the argument that we are evolving morally... Child sacrifices still happen in India. Sex slaves are still rampant throughout many cultures. Compare the morality of 1700s US with the morality of 1940s Germany... which represents an evolved sense of morality?

Such proud and noble people. And people wonder why we slaughtered them.
Unintentional irony?

I don't know what your point is. If the majority of people in a society accept an action then it has become culturally acceptable. So whether it is child sacrifices, genocide or slavery for the moral relativist - those cannot be absolute wrongs. Whatever the culture decides is morality is morality (from the perspective of a moral relativist).

Would you say the members of the societies you named (Hitler's Germany, Mao's China, etc.) accepted the actions of their leaders on their own accord or because they didn't really have any other choice?
