It also cannot consent, and I am big into consent, though

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not talking morals with someone who has a moral codex from 2000 years ago.

[–] Redditmodstouchgrass@lemmy.zip 1 points 23 minutes ago

I'll never get over the slavery angle. Like, right after delivering your people from generations of slavery would have been the perfect opportunity to go "We're not doing that shit again."

[–] manuremy@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 hours ago

I grew up in a very cultist region, and I remember having similar arguments at 8-13 years old already. Well, not about corpse fucking but murder and such. When I made the same argument, "I'm currently murdering as many people as I want which is 0", the holier than thou counter-argument always was "well that's only because you grew up in a Christian culture even if you're now deciding to not believe!" Which often wasn't just that, it often went further into pretty racist assumptions that if I was like a "wild human living somewhere in Africa", I'd be murdering and eating human meat.. That tells quite a lot about the whole love-thy-neighbor act I think.

And this wasn't somewhere in the 70's, it was in the 2000-2010.

If the only reason you aren't a necrophiliac rapist is because your god says not to, you are not a good person, you are a necrophiliac rapist on a leash.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 45 minutes ago* (last edited 44 minutes ago)

Sorry what exactly are you raping. Is fucking a couch or flesh light rape now? Its dead it is a piece of meet nothing more unless you think its soul is their or something. And no I don't want to fuck a dead deer bit calling it rape is just odd.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 1 hour ago

Everyone needs to remember that

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Hygiene. Sure, you can avoid it by getting a special taxidermy with fleshlights or whatever they're called, but if you go that far you're beyond saving.

Also deprecating corpses are still icky in my moral codex, so unless you find some human, who explicitly wants their body to be preserved for necrophiliac sex reasons (they do exists), that's the only loophole.

See? I can debate-bro my way into basic human decency! At least they learned that children cannot consent, and "God said so" isn't the only reason why people find pedophilia icky (the Bible says it's okay if the child is pubescent).

[–] cecinestpasunecommunication@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Its not, you do you, friend. I don't think your god cares either. Follow your bliss.

Just, um, let me get far enough I don't need to see/hear it, and I will never eat venison from you again.

Tell you what: You fuck the rotting deer corpse, I'll stream the video on all your social media.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

That's the thing that bothers me about religious people, the only thing stopping the lot of them from committing heinous crimes is the fear of eternal damnation. It's like they have no morals at all.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 43 minutes ago

Look at your "religious" politicians. It is just a tool to control the stupid they don't believe in any of it.

[–] daddycool@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Some of them don't. Even facing "eternal damnation", they'll still commit terrible crimes.

[–] JustTheWind@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Out of curiosity, DOES the bible specifically forbid fucking dead animals? I feel like it says something about human necrophilia and bestiality but I'm not sure about BOTH at the same time. I feel like there's a Mormon-esque loophole in there somewhere.

[–] manuremy@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 hours ago

I think the main loophole is that "God" "created" animals "for" humans. So that makes all kind of cruelty and factory farming okay.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Please don't make deer soaking a thing.

[–] Whirling_Cloudburst@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

How about Cervitaur soaking.

Inheritantly, it's not, you sick fucking corpse fucker. Now please stay away from me.

@RampantParanoia2365 @VetOfTheSeas

I would like to block this thread, but I don't know how.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm afraid I can't help. Not that I mind at all, but why are you asking me?

[–] Quasit@beige.party 1 points 7 hours ago

@RampantParanoia2365 My mistake! Didn't realize I'd addressed you specifically. Just grossed out by the topic. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and roadkill was sometimes dropped off at our door.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Recently, I was introduced to Wikipedia's List of individual cats.

Among them is Jack, who was lost in luggage by American Airlines. He was found 61 days later, still alive, dehydrated and malnourished and beyond recovery, Jack was put down.

That's one incident. In nature, shit like that happens every single day.

I don't think there's a god, especially the Greek notion of an omnipotent, omniscient creator.

But if one did exist, to us, it is a monster...

...and to It, we are irrelevant.

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Are you familiar with the heresy of the Cathars? The God of the Old Testament is actually evil, and the God of the New is the 'good' guy. Cathars were burned at the stake, because Catholics didn't like the implication that their version of God might actually be evil.

There are various heresies like this, including at least one where God and Satan are literally the same dude, just wearing a different name tag. Shit gets fascinating. Obviously, still nuts, but fascinating.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

Logical fallacy.

Jeez.

Guy, just heard that term and ran with it.

[–] RhondaSandTits 14 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

I just don't want maggots on my dick. Simple.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

A pragmaticist!

Personally I just don't find this particular deer that hot. I blame the deer for that.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Now if Gadget were freshly hit by the car in front of me…

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 3 points 10 hours ago

What if I suck them out for you?

[–] Ozymati@lemmy.nz 9 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

It's not morally wrong, it's just disgusting. And it is morally wrong to fuck a human corpse because the corpse belongs to the family of the deceased, or the state if no family. It's not morally OK to fuck other people's property, or to distress them (in the case of the family) by doing so. Just like how it's OK to fuck your own couch, but not your parent's one.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 2 points 10 hours ago

I'm going to play devils advocate, and claim that you are presupposing a legal technicality (medical definition of death) results in a corpse becoming property.

Moreover, I do not accept that it is inherently wrong to fuck other peoples couches, and if me or JD ensure no residue, or knowledge of our actions are made apparent, then it is okay.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Dammit, now I need to carry around a little note in my wallet, so that violent busybodies don't steal my corpse from the necrophiliacs who found it fair and square.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

If you fuck a corpse in the forest, did you really?

[–] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 13 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (4 children)

The actual answer is that it violates the dignity of animals and humans. It's so disgusting and grotesque that nobody even wants to read about this stupid hypothetical. Not even as a shitpost, nor as a snarky rejoinder to a shitpost. It's literal gore. What the fuck is wrong with you OP.

That and health issues.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

IDK those zoosadist freaks from a couple years ago would probably get a chub hearing about this shit. Mind you those sub-humans deserve the blood eagle for their actions and potential threat but that's beyond the point, at least the living ones deserve it since unlike them I have no interest in the dead.

Regardless this is actually a fine example of how cultural and biological morality works, as a rule it's a stupid idea to fuck around with corpses due to biological reasons so we have an instinctual ick towards it. As a result of that instinct we reinforce it with massive amounts of taboo because we instinctually know that fucking with corpses is a bad idea. Hence we make it so those that mess with corpses are made pariah, exceptions like grave diggers or certain medical practices.
