Can you imagine a world in which killing people is morally permissible?
Sure, I live in one. I chose slavery because it’s a pretty unequivocal case of moral badness, while killing is not such as in war, self-defense, execution, etc. I think probably rape, and certainly lying are things which are always morally wrong (I don’t think this entails that one should never do them, however).
My thought is just that at least at the core of them, moral beliefs aren’t subject to having been otherwise. I guess this is true of beliefs about logic too, though maybe not for the same reasons. And this doesn’t make either kind of belief immune to error, of course.
Ah, OK. Thanks for the clarification.
