    Is having sex without a relationship aka a one time thing a Morally wrong thing and if so why ?

    I know that some may be offended by this sexual question but a lot of people have sex without a relationship with a stranger and I am wondering what this would mean morally if it means anything morally.

    GoJ versus GoL

    I believe that there are two fundamental archetypal forces at play in the world. The first one is the God of Judgment (GoJ). GoJ perceives everything in stark binary terms, such as "good" and "evil," "right" and "wrong," and "you are either with us" or "you are against us." This judgmental...

    Filth and the Obsession with Purity

    Howdy! Humans are obsessed with filth and purity. Those two can be some of the easiest ways to define a culture. Things like Kosher, the obsession with purity by the brahmins in India, holding up ideals like chastity rather than being promiscuous. What is interesting to me is that despite the...

    What is normal today?

    What is the framework of normality (norm)? This is the level of God's condonation of evil. "Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?" Matthew 17:17. In Paradise, it will be zero, but today's condonation should...

    Differences between Watergate investigation and 1/6 probe

    Watergate 50th meets Jan. 6. Common thread: Thirst for power The Watergate committee of four Democrats and three Republicans was formed by a unanimous vote in the Senate, unheard of today on almost any issue of substance. It was charged with probing the Watergate affair and “all other illegal...

    Can science reconcile different moral positions?

    I wanted to get opinions. I’ve had several conversations on line on the subject of morality. There are so many philosophical positions one can hold and many seem to be exclusive, on their own accounts, and have ardent defenders. Is morality neural and societal simultaneously? Subjectively, our...

    Christians...is sexual attraction a choice?

    When it comes to homosexuality, there seems to be two primary points of view: You are either born this way, or you choose it. I am convinced that it is not a choice and that almost anyone can be convinced its not a choice in very short order. Are there any Christians here who still think its a...

    Me too!

    Research is being conducted by people, so it is normal to feel emotions at work. I am not an original thinker on this subject, because there is lecture of Ilona Stengel If science strives for insensibility, then it strives for cruelty. Journals are part of the research. The main part. It is...

    Devil did go down unto you

    Supposed, that Kirk Cameron is totally right, does the debate below shows the clear case for victory over aggressive atheism? If no, then why it is written "For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict."? Luke 21:15. Because the END is...

    The Definition of Morality

    Hi there! So I am hoping there are posters out there who are chomping at the bit to get into a good old-fashioned RF scrap! I have just started reading a book called "Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason and the Gap Between Us and Them" authored by Joshua Greene. It is a fascinating book with which...

    She who is without Sin

    In your particular take on the Fall in Eden, assuming that you have one: Did Eve have the knowledge of good and evil before eating of the fruit of Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? If so, what is the difference between the good and evil she had knowledge of before eating, and the Good and...

    For atheists, imagine you have been transported back in time...

    I'm posting this here because I've forgotten how to post in the atheist DIR. For those who identify as atheist, imagine you have been transported back in time to convince Genghis Khan that rape is wrong using words only. What do you say to him to convince him from an atheist perspective? And go!

    Are Atheism and Morality Incompatible?

    It seems obvious to me that atheists can be (and many are) moral, are good parents, are helpful and cooperative contributors to their society, etc. Some religious people however seem to feel or believe that morality consists principally in following the "will" or dictates of one or more...

    What does it mean to be a better person?

    From all perspectives, whether theological or not, what does it mean to be a better person? By this I mean, how do we know that we are progressing or digressing as human beings morally? And, how do we define morality? Is it merely a social construct or is there an innate morality in humans...

    Moralism and scripture: the variable nature of moralism

    John 3:36 Obviously means that even sort of moralistic people are facing Hell. Thusly, obviously, we are not talking about 'worldly concepts', of morality. I believe a big problem with christianity is that it seems to teach that the worldly version, is what the Bible is saying. It clearly...

    Why did not the moral law please the unbelievers?

    1. If there is the moral law (like "not to do abortion", "not to murder a baby in a baby carriage"), then there is the Law Maker. 2. The moral law is. It is immoral to tell a lie. And if there is nothing but lies, then there is no Truth. And latter is not true, therefore they are wrong and...

    Humility Is Not a Virtue

    Humility is not a virtue; it's a social ploy to facilitate solicitation. Court scenario: 2 guys before a judge: NotHumbleGuy: Judge, give me what I deserve, because that's your job. HumbleGuy: Your honor, please give me better than I deserve, because I'm asking humbly. In an unjust world...

    Harm None

    There are religions that teach the tenet to "harm none" is some form or another. Two religions that come to mind are Jainism and Wicca. I'm confident there are more that teach this tenet to varying degrees. I think we can agree that the vast majority of humankind has the morality to not kill...

    Why do Christians care so much about abortion?

    I oppose elective abortion. I even get a bit emotional about it. That's entirely based on my personal morality, science, and secular humanism. I also realize that many Christians base their morality on humanism. I am glad that so many Christians don't base their morality on the codes and beliefs...
