Augustine, slavery, and whipping

[OsculeturMeOsculo]

It is a thought experiment. From an objective standpoint since Society used to think it was okay and now it doesn’t.

Why is corporal punishment wrong?

 

[theCardinalbird]

It is wrong to beat slaves. Or own slaves.

Ok. I see that. The other link spoke of punishment only and not beating specifically.

Still wrong. I thought we’d been over this?

This thread has become “prove that slavery is bad”; stay classy, CAF.

and I am not disputing that. I made an observation. Sheesh.

I’m sure that is one way to look at it

I know this may be a hard sell for you but whipping people with a whip is wrong. It hurts people badly.

 

[Arkansan]

So corporal punishment is okay as long as it doesn’t inflict serious injury?

It never ceases to amaze me. I can assure you if a high ranking church member did it, they will defend it. It’s unbelievable. If Augustine had a hobby of punching babies in the face they would say “but really what’s so wrong with that?”

 

[OsculeturMeOsculo]

No it is because it seems that there is a cultural double standard in today’s society.

It’s the only way at this point. All the topic has become is prove slavery is bad and prove we shouldn’t beat children.

That is ridiculous, and shows ignorance towards the Church

 

[OsculeturMeOsculo]

Would using physical pain as a measure of morality be subjective or objective? Could I kill someone if they didn’t feel anything?

 

[theCardinalbird]

It is proven already that both are bad.

Look at this thread. It’s happened. People are literally defending slavery and beating people. It’s not the first time I’ve seen this topic on CAF either.

 

[OsculeturMeOsculo]

I just want to see if people are actually objective. Society keeps going back in forth in what it deems to be moral.

 

[wkj_123]

Nope. You like asking questions. My turn. Do you think whipping slaves is wrong?

Punching babies? Really? That did not appear anywhere. His comment was wrong and makes the people of the Church seem so horrible that we would ever do that

How so?

That sounds like giving up to me…

I think owning and whipping slaves is wrong no matter how you do it.

Yes. I agree. The buying and selling of human beings just as you would buy or sell a pig or a dog is totally wrong.
