]]> Comment on Robert E. Lee and the Abuse of Principle by Josh http://modernknight.org/?p=1395&cpage=1#comment-2812 Josh Wed, 05 Sep 2012 20:08:48 +0000 http://modernknight.org/?p=1395#comment-2812 Your analysis here is truly misguided.
First, on purely ethical/moral grounds the kind of utilitarianism you seem to be advocating, of sacrificing principle to practicality, is simply never valid. The ends do not justify the means. Good intentions also do not justify faulty means, but the outcome never determines the moral value of a person’s actions.

secondly, I’d suggest you learn more of the history and more of the man before you trash him. Lee was a patriot and a man who loved his country. He fought for his country before the civil war and was probably the most respected officer in the US army prior to the war.

He had no desire to destroy the federal government, nor was he fighting to uphold slavery. He fought for the confederacy for one simple reason. His home was invaded and his people attacked.

You are essentially trashing him because he didn’t stand by while the government pillaged his home and killed his friends and family.

Carter Sat, 28 Jul 2012 01:07:35 +0000 http://modernknight.org/?p=813#comment-2751 I beg to differ on the article protraying Jesus as a liar because in the bible if Jesus lied would that make the bible a false bible?

]]> Comment on IX: To Tell the Truth by Shoryn http://modernknight.org/?p=777&cpage=1#comment-1606 Shoryn Sun, 22 Jan 2012 18:58:49 +0000 http://modernknight.org/?p=777#comment-1606 A great article, one which I wish I had more time to expound upon but at the moment I only have time for a quick addition. Not to hijack your work, but I felt compelled to add a brief antidote from my own life that might be relevant to the next reader. When I was about 15, I entered a local dojo I trained at where the sensei made a habit displaying various pearls of wisdom. I will never forget the day or the article I read, as it completely changed my view on deceitfulness. In summation the article’s premise was that deceitfulness, as well as many other failings of character, might very well be attributed to cowardice. I’m sure I do the work no justice, but the thrust of it was that fear of the consequences of the truth compelled many to lie. Now I don’t know about you, but that was enough then and there to change my mind on the subject. To be labeled a coward was beyond the pale, and for me, that was just what I needed to hear. Since then whenever I feel the pull to lie, I remember that if nothing else in life, I will not be a coward.
