Ethicists have strong arguments for their positions. Maybe you should engage with those instead of spewing vapid polemics. What happened to the "facts and logic" your kind supposedly holds so dear?

I've read Kant, Nietzsche, a little Hegel, Rawls, a bunch of ancient Greeks, Aquinas, Hume, Hobbes, Locke, Laozi, Pascal, even Marx (the idiot), a little Rousseau, Kierkegaard, a little Habermas (idiot), Searle (meh),..
Which ones do you think are most relevant here?

I have probably forgotten to return hundreds of nearly unused library books over the years
What? Is D'Vontreous just patiently waiting to read them?

Completely besides the point. Failure to act morally and knowing good arguments for what's moral are different.
