            I said that law has nothing to do with morality, and you claimed that is wildly incorrect. So, I gave you a clear example of a law that’s directly at odds with morality. What part of that are you struggling to comprehend there?

              :S laws can be unmoral as well, yes? What do you not comprehend about laws being based on morality? Most laws, to specify for you so you don’t need to take that turn.

                Again, laws are not a source of morality and whether something is legal or not has no impact on whether it’s moral, so your justification of conscription as being legal is nonsensical. Hope that clears things up for you.

                  To clear things up for you, you stated that laws had nothing to do with morality, and that is false as previously seen.

                  But I do agree that laws might not be a source of morality, even if some laws aim to alter how people view certain matters.

                    It’s like you can’t understand the concept of thing being tangential. Laws can align with morality or not, but morality is not derived from laws. Nor do laws have to be derived from morality.
