I am arguing because you keep calling a personal moral preference “Natural Law” and then treating criticism of the label as support for lying, theft and murder. That is a dishonest false choice.

Calling it Natural Law is itself false. It is not natural, because nature contains cooperation, deception, theft, killing, parasitism and domination. It is not law, because there is no objective authority, consistent definition or universal enforcement behind it. It pretends something exists outside human judgment when it does not.

The lifeboat, consent and aggression questions are not “gotchas.” They test whether the principle actually resolves difficult cases. Your answer is that you need more information and other people may decide differently. Exactly. That means it is human judgment, not an objective natural law.

You also keep retreating between two different claims. First, Natural Law and the NAP should govern human conduct. Then, when challenged, they are merely “good words” that might make life easier. Fine. “Try not to fuck people over” is useful advice. It is not a law of nature.

I do not need a perfect system, a promise of streets of gold or a threat of hell to avoid robbing people. You invented that argument because it is easier than addressing mine.

And spare me the libertarian lecture. I am probably more libertarian in practice than you are. I do not send my children to public school. I do not take government handouts. I have never chosen to live in, or buy property in, a town with zoning in the last 20 years. I have structured major parts of my life around avoiding state control rather than merely posting slogans about freedom.

The difference is that I do not pretend my choices were dictated by the universe. They are my values, my judgments and my responsibility. Calling your values “Natural Law” only disguises human opinion as something objective.
