I think the basic heuristic of if it causes undue amount of suffering in others there should be a secular law against. We have laws against assault, rape, and murder. It doesn't take a bible to get right from from. So there is definite something we can grab onto with morality. But I agree...
So you say morality is absolute and objective by expressing a subjective opinion.
If morality were absolute then religious law would be secular law. But it isn't because what is moral and what is not moral changes slowly over time. If you mean not relative as similar to the way we have...
Stand back, dietician
Stand back, television
Stand back, politician
Stand back, mortician
"I see a yellow man, a brown man
A white man, a red man
Lookin' for Uncle Sam
To give you a helpin' hand
But everybody's kickin' sand
Even politicians
We're living in a plastic land
Somebody give me a...
Years ago I once heard Pat O'Reilly when asked about if Faux News being "fair and balanced" he said, "We have liberals on our show all the time!" I thought about this for a long time and came to the conclusion he was right! When you are as far to the right as O'Reilly EVERYONE is a liberal...
You need to watch the Money Masters video. I think you do not know what you are talking about. The problem is not who owns the creation and distribution of currency. The problem is having a fiat currency where inflation becomes an instant tax hike. Just look at the quandl curve:

Well, yes, and no. The more the Federal Reserve prints then money becomes worth less:

Marx always said laissez faire capitalism is following by communism. This is because unfettered greed would result in the government's currency collapsing in value as it is accumulated into fewer and...
When I go to the grocery store I wear a hazmat suit.
P.S. I've been thinking about your handle name, "Debater Slayer". I can just tell by your posts you are a master debater!
So we raise taxes back to Bill Clinton levels. This will mean billionaires will have to buy one less yacht this year or one less trip to Europe. Oh the horror!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Evil is like beauty. We know it when we see it. But there many cases where something is considered to be evil by one group of people and okay by another. Executioners and soldiers commit acts of murder but for some people this is not immoral because they...
It's a matter of perspective. The first statement had to do with evil with regards to act between two people. The second statement had to do with the idea evil is some kind thing or spirit existing on its own. People have imperfections. Imperfections cause people to have needs and desires...
In my opinion, evil is like beauty. Evil is in the eye of the beholder. What is evil and what is not evil is purely a subjective opinion. The executioner and the soldier are murderers, and they get a free pass. Many people believe Democrats are evil because they support abortion, while at...
All religions are made up. You are totally making this up: "I believe they are revealed by God, not made up by men." You have no way of knowing what God is doing. No one knows. Anyone who tells you they are a messenger from God is delusional. Anyone who claims someone else is a messenger...
Nobody knows how God feels. God's being is beyond our comprehension.
Your Messengers are telling you not God.
No one has ever experienced God's justice. It's all made up delusional BS by your messengers. If you want justice you will only find it in a secular court of a law.
Every belief...
I disagree. God is not anything that can be defined with words. God is beyond our comprehension. There is no court.
We cannot give God anything. God is already perfect, whole, and complete. It is not possible to give God anything.
Obedience to authority is made up BS so the king on...
I've been to Beijing in 2003. My impression was I was in a communist country. My experience in China was Chinese companies are more about employing the most people as opposed to building a brand. Some of the companies my company dealt with share trade secrets.
It's both ways. Life is short so we should try to live it to the fullest of our participation. And when we die we go into the light. I think once we melt into God it is the greatest possible and most fulfilling experience. Why would you want to continue on when everything else will be...
