Answer:
No, you will face criticism, judgement, and backlash.
Explanation:
For example, in Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Fredrick Nietzche, Zarathustra descends from the cave after ten years of isolation to give his newfound enlightenment to the people. He tells them that the Earth's meaning is the overman or Ubermensch (one willing to risk all to enhance humanity). The overman is free from all the prejudices and moralities of human society and creates his conditions and purpose. The people rejected him, laughed at him, and, overall, the message went over their heads. They wish to continue their life of mundane mediocrisy. He chooses not to persuade the crowd, but rather to speak to those interested in separating themselves from the herd.
As you can see, the people rejected a new idea. This is a universal concept dating to stories of prophets preaching their book to people.
The overman is one who can endure the backlash from society and persist in his truth.
Stay safe (:
Answer:
It is difficult to discern whether individuals can be designated as having good morals when an action is done not because it was moral, but because God has commanded it.
Explanation:
The idea of Theological Volunteerism is that an action has moral value because the action is approved or even recommended by God, through his teachings. In this context, what we as humans might consider as something that is morally right, may be considered in opposition to God's will or even deemed as irrelevant since it was not taught by God of certain religions as a morally right action that their follower should take.
A great example of this would be the idea of slaughtering some farm animals under the name of God for it to be consumed by the followers of the religion, even though it means that the method used to kill these animals is more inhumane. To the followers of the religion, this action is morally right since God has commanded it to be so; to those who aren't followers of the religion, it is a horrific and morally wrong action.
