The entire basis of your argument seems to be that we are "overly" moral because we are repulsed by torture or slavery.
I said you are overly moral because you think morality is a standard which means anything. You believe because you are 'moral' you do not need redemption. The delusion in all of that is 'Morality' is still Evil, as in it is the lessor of two evils. Morality has nothing to do with an unchanging standard.
Quote:Moreover, you're suggesting that our concept morality is inherently flawed because we are without god.Again no. You are guilty of trying to force my arguement into a strawman.
Again I am saying Morality is simply a lessor brand of evil, and because you feel good about your branding you feel you do not need God.
Quote: At the same time, you, a person apparently "with" god, are justifying so-called advanced interrogation techniques (read: TORTURE) even though a recent Senate intelligence committee report found that these techniques did not yield useful intelligence and were brutal. Are you fucking kidding me?The Senate can find whatever it likes, The people who authorized the EIT's pointed very specifically to useful information. https://www.cia.gov/news-information/pre...ogram.html
How about instead of letting someone do your thinking for you, you venture out to the source and learn to make up your own mind.
There is much political gain in a senate who tries to take the 'moral high ground' once the danger has past. But, where were your senators when these events were taking place? Are you so naive to think that the senate had no idea what was happening in git-mo before this report was released? The see a band wagon and the all jumped on it.
Quote:Your arguments are nonsense to me, complete and utter nonsense. Not a thing you said makes a bit of fucking sense. None. As such I'm not even going to address anything else because what's the point? It's tantamount to arguing with someone at an asylum on the appropriate method of smearing feces on the wall.- Or I'm starting to make sense and it scares you...
Good day to you, sir.
