We know what wage slavery is. We find it immoral and do what we can to eliminate it. Yet, somehow, we're bad because we live in Western civilization (just like him), even though we acknowledge wage slavery, how inhumane it can be, etc.
But he's somehow more moral than the rest of us because he simply doesn't sweat it because it's part of god's rules.
Amazing. And frightening.
No, no, Kevin. You don't get it: morals aren't righteousness and therefore, we are horrible, awful people since we can never live up to God's righteous standards because... something.
Fuck. I don't know either. All I know is that if I'm immoral or unrighteous by Drich's or his god's standards, I'm perfectly content with being a self-righteous hippie.
No, no Ca-rots, with Righteousness everyone is found acceptable before God despite how self righteous hippies judges them in the world!!!
that's the whole point to this thread.
To show the contrast between what the world says is immoral ( for instance, slavery/killing babies) and what it actually does (support compaines who pay slave wages and by your own words "holds people and forces them to work" and also support abortion/infanticide).
Don't you get it? by your own moral standard you can judge yourselves "bad people." The only thing that keeps you from this judgement is you lie to yourselves about what it is you are actually doing.
How then can this 'moral standard' of yours, judge God and his followers bad, while someone like you who does indeed support slavery, and infanticide are allowed to do the very same things you condemn God for?
This is what morality does. It allows a society to adopt evil it would other wise condemn someone else for. How can a true standard be so hypocritical? How can we all be so hypocritical, and not be just bitter vile people when someone questions any part of what we do?
