That's really a dumb question. It harms the torturer as well as the person tortured. Such harm and brutality can be nothing but immoral.
1. How does it harm to torturer?
2. All forms of torture? What about psychological torture? That is not brutality.
Your can brutalize another person and Nott be effected. Your either steel yourself, becoming less compassionate or your suffer knowing what you did. Very few, if any, can really keep proper balance, if there is such thing.
And yes, all forms or torture are brutality , if they weren't, they wouldn't be torture, they'd be something else.
Psychological torture is brutality? Then I cannot agree that all forms of brutality are immoral.
Of course. According to the CIA, that kind of torture has longer lasting negative effects than physical torture. It ruins lives. That's brutality.
Terrorists, who we advocate that kind of torture to be used on, have already ruined their lives, they have negative effects in themselves, and that is different than tortoring someone who is just random off the street.
Do really think morality is in emulating them? Really? They will suffer for their sins. We don't need to join them. Principles don't change because others don't share them. You either have a principle or you don't.
I think it is funny that a professed liberal is trying to tell Conservatives what their position is and/or should be......how does that make sense? :shrug:
Not what I'm doing. I'm telling you what is and isn't moral. And explaining why. So don't get too silly here.

All due respect Boo, but that is so unlike you.
Don't we already have enough people around here telling us what is and is not moral?
What defines moral? I say that abortion is immoral, do you agree?
Yes, I oppose abortion. No one in my family will have one. Morals can be and are largely defined. We understand this when they torture us.
Homosexuality is also immoral, which is what this thread is about in the first place.
There's nothing immoral about it, it's common in nature. Try again.

In your opinion, the Bible disagrees.
No, I don't believe it is. It's two people loving one another. To see that as immoral and not torture is perverted to me.
No it likely doesn't, as we've discussed before.
In your opinion, the Bible disagrees.
As I thought. You don't understand that basic function and purpose of marriage. Procreation ain't it. What you are describing are basic reproductive processes of each gender. Now that I have shown you that there is a difference between marriage and procreation, hopefully you will adjust your position accordingly.
I forgot that only CaptainCourtesy gets to decide the function and purpose of marriage. Please, go on and inform me of why thousands of years of human history are wrong and why you are right about why marriage exists. Please, inform me oh great omniscient one.
That's your opinion, wrong as it may be.
