Makes me glad it's all mythology.The god of the bible regularly uses extreme violence.
I think they’re not moral under any circumstances. Boxers and martial artists unfortunately think that with rules and golden glitter, fights are justified and these fights happen for little reason other than money. It is a cruel and unusual thing with or without consent to hypocritically allow violence of any kind in our society. Violence is for the animals. We are people. Not just as sons of God, but by nature we are supposed to be above the animals, not copying them or doing worse things than those unreasonable creatures.
I advocate nonviolence too but I also see a value in things like Bushido and Shaolin where a Code of Honor exists alongside the training in facing conflicts.My path teaches ahimsa (non-violence). My path is for me. As much as I would like it to be, I understand my is not for everyone.
That isn’t the case, ethical codes in the bible build on earlier written codes (e.g. Hammurabi’s). More generally, people were living in complex societies long before the bible or ideas about one overall god were codified, and for a long, long time before that lived in groups who had their own ideas about ethical behaviour.The Bible is pretty recent in terms of human history.The Bible spells out ethics, it IS where ethics came from.

Who is harmed? If both fighters are willing and know the risks then let them do it. I don't like it so I don't watch it.I think they’re not moral under any circumstances.

No it isn't unique to humans. Other animals aside from ourselves have been observed and documented to hunt for sport.I'm no fan of violence as a spectator sport. The rest of the animal kingdom don't go in for it, but clearly it's unique to homo sapiens.
I meant as a spectator idea. I'm well aware of what my cat is capable of.No it isn't unique to humans. Other animals aside from ourselves have been observed and documented to hunt for sport.

Your argument doesn't work with us moral relativists.I did put up a valid point that some things are wrong and some things are right.
This is ethics. To see whether something is correct or not.
When someone tries to change the unchangeable laws or morality with imaginary scenarios to justify themselves, then it is wrong.
Especially when people who hurt people say they are guiltless because of “rights,”
A right is something held by ethics to belong to the people,
There are many things our government has legalized today in our state and country that are the complete opposite of ethical or even ethically justified.
Ethics does not change. People change and they warp the laws of good and evil to justify themselves with whatever they do.
Under whatever circumstances, this is wrong.
Our other Ape cousins do it. They tease and hit and even bodyslam to provocate a response and enjoy the reactions.I meant as a spectator idea. I'm well aware of what my cat is capable of.
Well if it's a commercial spectator practice I'm against it.Our other Ape cousins do it. They tease and hit and even bodyslam to provocate a response and enjoy the reactions.
And that's your right. Others however do enjoy contact sports.Well if it's a commercial spectator practice I'm against it.
They do, I was simply expressing my opinion. Contact sport is of course not equivalent to fighting.And that's your right. Others however do enjoy contact sports.
I used to be afraid of the blood and all that and then realized that there are still plenty of rules to help protect the athletes but injuries in any contact sport is always going to be a factor and in the vast majority everything is really just fine to keep injuries superficial as humanly possible as well as medical personnel at the site in case things do go a little bit more roughly then expected but I think that's part of the nature of contact Sports.Who is harmed?
