It still isn't clear what it means for a preference for murder to be "wrong"!
So far I can only infer your definition of "wrong" to be:
"Not among the correct preferences"
... but you still haven't explained to us why you think there are correct preferences, besides to stamp your foot and say over and over again "There are obviously correct preferences" even when many people do not agree.
I see no reason to believe that there is a set of "correct" preferences to check against.
So you think there is nothing wrong in having a preference for murder? Yes or no?
I need to find out whether I should be arguing to specific cases from general principles or vice versa.
I do not believe there is a set of correct preferences. There is no objective right or wrong.
Funny how you never quite answer the question as stated. Can you even say it is subjectively wrong?
It isn't 'funny' at all. You were trying to force someone into a lose lose morality signalling position. It is appropriate to ignore such attempts and instead state what your actual position is.
Your gambit here verges on logically rude.
