This divine promiscuity strikes me as extraordinairly implausible. If this objector and others like him get to use their moral intuitions as guides to what kinds of properties count as ‘great-making’ then they can’t consistently shy away from the fact that to sacrifice quality on the alter of quantity is something EVERYBODY intuits as an imperfection. Theists and nontheists are on common ground in recognizing that It is far better to desire one extraordinairly high-quality relationship for the remainder of our lives than to have a maximal number of short flings of very poor quality . |
