Quote:You can twist martyrs' objectives in any way you like but that's the bottom line; You can't 'hurt' god so it's not about the well being of even that thing, it's about pleasing the dictator's dick.Generally speaking, Astonished..the faithful please gods dick in order to avoid harm. They think that not pleasing gods dick is harmful...not to god. To them. They think that pleasing gods dick..is helpful, not to god, to them. Not just them, to their families, to their friends, to all of us.
Quote:Why else would a prospective martyr say that they would not leave their paradise except for the chance to martyr themselves all over again, like in Hitchens' book? It's all about pleasing their deity, otherwise if they've already gotten their ultimate reward, there's no point in doing anything further. I think you've got a misconception about that. I've already said how idiotic it is to break one's brain machinery by stuffing that ideology in where it doesn't belong but people manage to do it all too fucking often.-and people have it done to them, all the time..as children - but the fact that they can make moral judgements based upon whatever schema they use implies that...with a better moral schema, they would also be capable of making better moral judgements. If that moral schema were objective..they'd be making better, objective, moral judgments.
Quote:But again, I invite you, fucking enlighten me. What other misconceptions do I have that you've consistently failed to explain?.....?
Fucking hell, I give up. One of us isn't understand the other (or both.) Can't I just keep showing Henry how dumb his ideas are?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
