Toss that on the pile of disgusting Huggy remarks.
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.

The next 6 address loving your neighbor. I think the logic is that if you truly love God, then loving your neighbor should logically follow, since loving your neighbor is a large part of loving God. You can't simultaneously love God and hate your neighbor. This is why it is placed first.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Maybe you should tell that to all the people who do love god and hate their neighbor?

It could be that I'm middle eastern in ancient times and raised as a Muslim believing I can have wives from my female captives. I'm imagining the situation, there's no likelyhood of the time travel and Islamic conquest. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason.

Your answer was "Not fucking the altar boys." So are you implying the 'buggery' of underage boys is only immoral if they are altar boys, or the offender is a priest?

I defined and explained morality, and where my morality comes from back on post #11. You seemed to ignore the post. Although, you did respond to other posts of mine in this thread. Curious that... You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence. |
