logical consistency with itself and observation as well as with itself on a meta-level.
Just for the sake of clarity, do you think it contradicts facts about the ‘natural’ meaning of “natural law”—about the rules that every smart human (or suitably extrapolated human) who cares about “being provident for itself and for others,” would agree with? Certainly if we assumed no such rules exist, that would contradict the ‘natural’ reading.
Thomism does feel self-consistent to me if I assume that every law comes from a medieval ruler or similar source. Now assume instead that pirates are divine beings. I’m thinking here of John “I Wanna Be a Pirate” Rackham, Anne Bonny, and Mary “Totally a Man” Read. See also “Kenpachi”.
So you admit that it’s possible for aesthetic preferences to be wrong.
That was also a joke? I do think you’d change your positive opinion of Thomism (v Pastafarianism) if you looked at all aspects of the situation.
Ah, well.
