Enviromentalism

Heres another little tasty morsel...enjoy

Lets say however that you let the attack against religion go. The theories of Utilitarianism and Consequentialism cannot produce traditional morality. Really, it produces a morally so strange that, if it were truly applied, it would leave anyone pining for the evils of religion. Utilitarianism, the greatest happiness for the greatest number, is peculiarly impaired by environment. Rape is a serious sin and would not be used to prove a point if one were dealing with a morality that made sense, however it is important to demonstrate how heinous the morality of Utilitarianism can be. Imagine two thugs in an alley, who decide to rape a woman. Two thugs, one woman, this action justified by Utilitarianism inside the environment of the alley. Now extend the environment farther, and the two police officers who walk by the alley and are decidedly unhappy about the situation, now push morality into the woman’s favor. Two thugs, two policemen and the woman, two vs. three. Suddenly violent rape is wrong again. The environment can continue to extend outward until we reach humanity as a whole (which as has already pointed out tends towards sadism, favoring the rapist) but one way or another, environment hardly seems like a condition that should be applied to morality.
