I bet you couldn’t explain the fundamental difference between disrespect/respect and evil/good if i paid you 1 million dollars to

Respect is about recognising authority irrespective of morality. Good/evil is about disregarding (or in some cases, regarding) authority in the name of morality.

Yes but then respect is just about recognizing threats to yourself because nobody follows authority unless they either morally believe in the authority or are threatened by it usually physically

So since we know Adam had no moral faculties you are saying he should be brutally punished or rewarded with the paradise of Eden purely based on his judgement on whether God was worth respecting based on his power?

Fuck me, you literally do not understand the concept of respect. Octavian was right about you people.

a) everyone is 'worth respecting' until proven otherwise, that's what respect is. b) no

Why would you respect an authority if you don’t have any sense of morality AND aren’t afraid of the threat of that authority? You are literally saying “just because”

Idk who Octavian is but he’s probably some gayreek philosopher who taught you that it’s MORAL to respect everything until proven otherwise which means respect isn’t fundamentally different from morality and you utterly failed to explain the difference like I asked, but you can try again if you’d like

Because that's literally the definition of respect. It's not a derived characteristic, it's not from somewhere, it's not based on something, it just is.

I dislike you, my dislike of you is a derived characteristic. I dislike you because your posts make me feel disgust. Disgust is the base principle, just like respect is the base principle in the example above.

Octavian was a Roman Consul/Emperor who said 'force is the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived.' I suppose it depends, with plebs like you it sure is. With human beings we can rely on things like respect, which don't have to be enforced. Let me guess, you don't return your shopping cart to a bay do you? You just leave it in the parking lot to roll in to a parked car.
