i was confused for quite a bit until i realized Pat Robertson was an actual person and not some placeholder name with a ring to it lol
by the c.f. part i meant the moral prohibition loses its power because, in the ideal world created by your conditions of which one is right, there would be no repercussions for violation. as seen in what i'm c.f.-ing against, this has a significant chance of leading to a world where some people go out to hunt and kill those whose deaths they think make the world objectively less hateful.

Sorry, I am not understanding what the "c. f. " part means. Is it an abbreviation for something? I mean not understanding like not knowing that etc means etcetera. Thanks

it means “compare to”. i searched it up and apparently it’s spelt cf. not c.f.—huh.
