Subjective Morals and Societal Whims

RE: Subjective Morals and Societal Whims
I'm no pedophile. I hate walking.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Nature also spawned christers. I honestly don't know which is the greater failure of nature. Spawning pedophiles or spawning christer chuckle-fucks like you.

Personally, I think it only takes you halfway there. Natural reasoning can only go so far.


Is that the conclusion of your natural reasoning or are you channelling your supernatural mind (or whatever the other 50% may be) now?

His statement is incorrect.

Sick, perverted people produce paedophilia, but it takes religion to justify it and protect the perpetrators.

*heavy sigh* It's at times like this that I get nostalgic for those old Saturday night D&D games I played in the 1980s. When some insufferable lout starts accusing total strangers of criminal activity, it would be ever so satisfying and cathartic to cast something like Summon 100,000 Annoyed Ferrets.

Quote:There are no Christian pedophiles,

Yes there are just because it clashes which there beliefs does not change what they believe . One came be an atheist and not a pedophile as for your last comment . And once again you equate atheism with naturalism . And no because nature produces something does not make atheism wrong .

Stop trolling or take your meds

But it gets even weirder. One needn't be aware that they are making stuff up. Really the imagination works independently, or at least it can. It is possible to mistake it for something else.

The 10 commandments seem like good morals to me. How come not you? These morals never change. You've made the point while one day in your atheism pedophilia is evil the next day you believe it is good. This is why all Atheists are pedophiles.

Your position is evil.

[edit]
Exactly how do the first 4 have any moral value?

Better yet, which commandments? The ones mentioned in the bible as the ten commandments are most emphatically not the ten commandments referred to by any christian sect.
