Quote:Yes firm personal morals, and social stability. Like hating teh gayz? Temujin as authority on morality or religion..? Sorry, no, fail.He certainly is my authority on morality.
I do follow the guidelines of his code as best as I can.
Besides, I don't hate anyone who did not wrong me. I never had any quarrel with gays. And in my country, they try their best to stay off the public, and I appreciate that.
I only make comments on issues surrounding them including their state of being.
Quote:Then you need to remove your blinders and start to acknowledge that all religions also outline a bad way to live one's life, and promote – nay, command – doing evil.Really, depends on what you perceive as evil.
Do you want more quotes on that?
And let's discuss that one. Like how does religion outline bad way to live your life as an individual.
Tell me about that one.
Quote:And then he turned around and happily continued slaughtering, raping, and maiming millions!His goal was clear. To unite the world under the blue sky, and the his most glorious banner.
His way was clear.
Those who submitted to him, were spared his wrath. Those who did not, were subject to his wrath. Do not belitte him by stating that his only archievement were the glorious towers of skulls his soldiers took from his enemies. He went from the head of a simple tribe, to the most powerful person on the entire earth. And he taught us that he was humble enough to go silently, without even leaving a grave behind for people to weep.
Quote:Nevertheless, there is the inhumane, barbaric verses in that Scripture. The excellent points of that Scripture DOES NOT make it any good. And the bible is NOT good source of morals. I do not see any reason why the one should learn nor follow the scripture' primitive morals to be good.Like...When Samson ripped some guys a new asshole through their stomachs with just a jawbone?
Obviously, those verses were not meant to instill morals, whatsoever.
They are there only to demonstrate the strength/wrath of God.
That's it. The moral guidelines are exhibited elsewhere, and people read the bible accordingly when searching for biblical morals.
Besides, it comes down on the person. I do not believe in the bible, so I do not use it in order to justify my moral standpoints.
But at the end, society is formed of individuals who agree on a common set of morals, which are not really distinct from what are said in most holy books.
Don't steal, don't fuck other people's wives, don't murder, don't cheat, don't do this, don't do that.
I think there is a reason why they are common for them all.
Quote: I mean, where's the burden of responsibility to prevent them from repeat their mistakes? Wrath of God? No problem - pray god for forgiveness! Over and over and forth!It's in the book. They are responsible for their own mistakes, to the people whom they did wrong(even if themselves), but if you accept a religion, you are also responsible to God himself. So it's quite natural if they ask God for forgiveness first, as he is above every other man.
Quote:But I know one: Delusion of an afterlife - in other words, immortality. That's what most of theists yearning for. Or perhaps that kind of wishful thinking is not a ONLY factor.Who does not? I do too.
Quote:Edited: Some Christians believe Adolf Hitler even will go to heaven if he ask God for forgiveness! Some morals.And how is that to be morally wrong?
