"Ethics"

“Hell is a really big cookie” Euthyphro

“God doesn’t like drunkenness because He doesn’t like grapes; however, He likes poppies so getting high is ok.” Divine Command Theory

“Wisdom is made known in the midst of fools. Unfortunately I have added to the mounting objective evidence provided for the wise.” Subjectivism

“Mike Tyson fled in the face of logic.” Subjectivism

“People who claim to be moral nihilists aren’t, unless they are writing it in their suicide note.” Subjectivism

“You will probably die on a toilet. And later be found naked and smelly.” Subjectivism
And the CORE 350 love should probably continue--concerning "Environment and Ethics"

“I have the subjective preference of lots of philosophy classes, but luckily I prefer an objective truth.”

“Fish are not that simple. But lets face it, fish are not that smart.”
