How can someone claim to be an “ethicist” — and have such a poor understanding of mortality?

Ethics is to morality what manners is morality ... systems for regulating behavior that can be learned by rote. But if the morality they are rooted in is deficient then they will be too.

Both ethics and manners have value, but they are a proverbial veneer.

Consider: twits in AntiFa think they are behaving properly because their ethics are rooted in an ideology that tells them they are right. That ideology has replaced morality in their lives.

Politicians lecture us on Truth,
Lawyers lecture us on ethics,
Homosexuals lecture us on morals,
Transsexuals lecture us on human biology,
Baby killers lecture us on the death penalty,
Tyrants lecture us on human rights,
Satanists lecture us on religion, and
Socialists lecture us on economics!
