    Okay, five-year-old:

    Doing good is important. Sometimes, you want do do a lot of good but feel like you can only do a little good. That’s okay! Do what you can.

    Sometimes you may think it’s okay to be naughty, because you know other kids who are very naughty all the time. But it’s still not okay to be naughty, even a little bit.

      My father is going to beat up my mom if he finds out that she took his drug money to buy food.

      Are you saying I shouldn’t lie? That it’s more important to tell the truth than to protect my mom from a beating?

        False dichotomy, those aren’t your only choices.

        Further, lying isn’t automatically wrong. Deceiving or otherwise inhibiting a hostile, evil entity is virtuous.

            Your point remains unmade. If it was a defense of moral relativism, the arguments don’t support the conclusion. If it was something else, I’ve no idea what you’re trying to say.

              Of course you don’t understand because I’m not using your approved lingo.

              I had a good laugh watching you go from trying to use plain language, and then jumping to ‘moral relativism.’

                  Laughing harder now.

                  You are unable to articulate your position without resorting to lingo, then try to cover up with a lame joke.

                  You’ve proven my point twice. First that ‘the lesser evil’ is a valid option and then when you showed you were dependent on lingo to make your points.

                  Let me know what part of that you fail to understand.
