My views on objective morality

[robvalue]

Lol thanks

I've held for a long time that religion acts mostly as a mirror. People use the parts of their books that they agree with, and they explain away the rest of it and basically ignore it. So what they end up with is their own views, and a lot of crossing out all around it.

They are then astounded that what they see as "the real message" of the book just happens to agree with them. Of course it does, they crossed the rest out.

The scary part comes when they decide to (or are forced to) adhere to a part of the book they wouldn't have otherwise done. This is when religion warps morality.
