Which is more important? Obedience or morality?

Are they different to you? Why?

Morality. Fuck obedience if it conflicts with my morals and values. Always question authority.

"If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law." - Henry David Thoreau

"One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your
country, let men label you as they may." - Mark Twain

"Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it." - Albert Einstein

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke

Wtf are you talking about?

Morality is clearly more important, your question doesn't even make any sense.

Why would obedience be more important?

[mobiusforniner]

Youd be surpised how many people believe obedience is morality. Clearly you dont. Which is a good thing, in my opinion. But im curious to see other responses.

These ethics issues are trying to postulate that we can’t do both….

But Morality is a bigger life saver here.

Throughout history, the most heinous acts against fellow man were due to obedience. And Stanley Milgrims experiment in the 60s further showed how two thirds of people will kill another human being, simply because they were directed to do so
