Religion doesn't make people more empathetic. It just makes them feel more obligated to do nice things for other people.

Nice, mean, what have you, sure. Religions are by definition a list of compelling obligations to the communities that practice them.
I'm not commenting on what you can beg your moms for Ahri, I'm reminding you... in your silly little rant about needing smokes.... that you've already pulled the fuck the needy card so it just doesn't matter, according to you. If you wont put any effort into your routine then why do we keep you around?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

In a similar vein, I NEED to smoke cigarettes, so cigarettes are objectively important. If you need something so much that you can't go without it, it's objectively important. I'm using words differently to you.  (November 30, 2023 at 8:16 am)FrustratedFool Wrote:(November 30, 2023 at 8:11 am)Thumpalumpacus Wrote: What of it? Even your preference for an objective grounding is your own subjective imposition. You think objective meaning is important. How is that not your own subjective preference? Of course I am. You could always follow the link included with any quoted post and see for yourself. It's that little green arrow next to my screenname. Back to my question: why is your subjective preference for objectivity not internally contradictory?

If a person has a subjective preference for the objective..they are..in fact, an objectivist. Agreed?

Say someone says they think cats are important. That's them telling you they think that cats exist, too. Granted, they may be wrong. Cativism may be false, but they're a cativist all the same. No?
