I am not worried at all. For me your God is as plausible as Santa, or Mickey Mouse. And I am not eight years old, anymore.
We are actually not even talking about God at the moment. We are talking about the morality of what the Israelite's did and of Bronze age warfare in general as you keep...
It doesn't matter if you care or not. It only matters if the specific actions you are condemning are moral or not. If both sides are facing the same consequences and they agree to engage in battle then it is incumbent on you to give a rational thought out reason why anything that ensues is...
So you didn't know that both sides were facing the same consequences. That seem strange, it is almost like you have not read any of the replies that you have received, it has benn brought up a couple of times. Oh well at least now you know it.
So.......Does it have any bearings on the morality...
And that is his opinion, which I disagree with.
You reject the conclusions or to even investigate the primary source.... ok.
.,.......................................................
You claim .....The elimination of God from communist society "clearly" is not the reason for the brutality...
Rather than going down this particular rabbit hole,
No we will stay with the rabbit hole for a little .This is important. You have been talking about legislating morality. The below is an example of that being put into practice...... but it led to millions being killed.... why do you think that...
It seems you still have not bothered to even read the Wikipedia article on the subject so i will give you his condensed answer to this very question......
If you want to question it .... contend with this.........Over a half century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of...
Because I have never heared of this man, that means I don't know anything about the soviet system or its barbarity
If you are not aware of the Gulag Archipelago then no, i don't think you could possibly know anything substantial about soviet brutality other than it seems you have been told that...
YES.
You do Know that they were facing the exact same treatment if they lost don't you?
I just need a yes/no answer. I need that for other logical, emotionless. arguments.
To reiterate..... I think that you are NUTS if you think that establishing an agreed moral code is possible and any serious attempt will be accompanied by massive bloodshed before it fails.
Why is it so different from the laws we seemingly enact, which, if one looked all around the world are...
I don't think things work that way. You agree that religious divisions have caused much violence - and still does - do we have to go about quantifying it?
Well i agreed to 33.33% just to get us started at some agreed point and that i'd argue down from there but apparently it doesn't work that...
The religious violence you are talking about was in the time of National Religions right. if you were in a Catholic country you were catholic, Protestant the same. (On the whole) So your qualification of religion being a choice is not that accurate... but we'l run with it.
On nationalism, i...
Mmmm . . . . not a derogatory implication in the entire quote.
You should NOT sincerely apologize and then qualify the apology so that it ceases to have any affect......The apology that should be given is to do with YOU bringing Mothers into a debate in the way that you did in the first place...
[QUOTE]="danieldemol, post: 6374133, member: 29492"]All attempts at demonising me for pointing out truthfully the obvious failure of Christianity aside, i’d be curious to know why you consider reproduction to be the most basic right we have as opposed to say - the right to eat, drink drinkable...
If you know the story as you have laid out surely you could have posed a question that is not kindergarten level theology.... Did God create the devil. Wow what depth.
Other than the false imputation of God being a backstabber for allowing his creation to exercise free will, you pretty much...
You obviously know the way the events are laid out in the Bible. To say that God's allowing Satan to exist means that he is OBVIOUSLY pleased with satan is pretty ignorant.... you did get to the end of the book didn't you.
Is your reasoning off? You know it is. That's why did you not include...
What other belief system has such a hold over people apart from nationality or culture that tends to make some kill others when they have no real basis for this?
Well why are you not calling for the end of nationality and culture as well?
You Will not give an inch. it so fascinating watching...
That is probably the most outright evil post i has seen on this forum.
You are defending the death of Billions. The restriction of the most basic right we have, procreation. All in the name of the Utopia. Your ideas lead us directly to the Gulags. Oh yeah your moral compass is fine and Dandy.
No i mean no one is teaching morality, The leftist tolernance ploy is not about morality it's about social engineering,
Telling kids that any sexual behaviour or thought they have is valid and should be embraced is not morality.
Protecting children from any possible upset feelings or...
