US Catholic Bishops to Vote on Denying Biden Communion

[meketrefe]

Sure. It only does if you want to keep the scientific process going.

You can't say "all the evidence points this way, but I still think unicorns did it, and if you don't think that you are a bigot"

It is a simple matter to find out to what level of knowledge in the discovery process one is before we give any aliases or hypotesis to the unknown.
But the fear to the unknown will continue to be there and we will continue to see comfort in finding a name for a potential explanation of many things no human can explain.
That is not going to end and it is understandable and possibly more practical to wrap it under the idea of a single "God" or elevation of hope but in the end there will be as many versions of that God as humans in the planet no matter what religion.
It is understandable. It is also understandable why humans with our limited knowledge and evolution find refuge there.
Aloha Snack Bar!

Slapping God in the gaps retards education however. Amongst other atrocities.

Why are you throwing those 2 gay men off the building?

'Tis god' s will.

Ok then.

@Darth Do you consider yourself to be a good person?

 

[Darth]

@Darth Do you consider yourself to be a good person?

I do good things and I do bad things. I try and have the good things outweigh the bad things.

What does this have to do with a reason for believing the Bible?

How do you know they are good enough to outweigh the bad? By whose standard are they bad?

 

[Darth]

I don't. I know I am accountable to the other 7 billion people on the planet however. That's the very basis for objective morality.

Like for example I think slavery, owning others as property, is bad. The Bible and its God condones it.

They are from the cancel cult!

Ok then.

I fixed that for ya.

 

[Darth]

What's funny is that the religious, when trying to force their beliefs on everyone as they do often do, are just as OK with cancel culture.

Tits on TV!? Work of the devil! Ban it!

So slavery was A-OK back when the majority of people on the planet just accepted it as normal ?

Is this global, or just regional ?


Is throwing the gay guys off the roof OK in ISIS territory because the majority there think that's right ?

If you're accountable to all 7 billion people, does that mean you're a bad person because the majority of them think you have to believe in a diety to be good ?

 

[Robin]

I'm a no-account.

Do you think only those of your faith understand good from bad?

I am serious with that question.

Kicking a puppy is bad. No one had the teach me that, I just knew it.

Many different religions teach a bit of right from wrong. Schools teach right from wrong. Parents and other relatives teach right from wrong. Society does as well.

Stop. You are a fine man, you have self worth and you have meaning in your life.

Go on Robin, give yourself a hug!!

Who said anything about a majority?

In fact, as most of the world is currently religious, I'd say that it would protect people from the majority.

I'm probably a bad person in the eyes of your imaginary people presented in your last paragraph in the same way a black man is a bad person to the KKK.

The religion is not the problem. The problem is the interpretation humans give to religion or other moral templates based on location, environment, social standing, specific situations. Humans brains are quite primitive that way and look for validation from the herd / tribe. It can happen with any groups. Religion is just another one. The same person can have different views contingent upon the setting.
Ortega & Gasset demonstrates that in his book, the revolt of the masses.
It can happen with soccer fanatics for example.
I like the Dali Lamas reference in the book the art of happiness when he says there might well be one different version of religion for every human on the planet.
it makes you think that Religion as a social and political institution might be used as a label for something else.

I love the power of healthy debate. Lol

But it is the problem when it follows a doctrine that it's followers take as the words to live by and those words treat people as inferior, for example by say Gender or their own beliefs or lake thereof.

Las time I said Jesus take the wheel

So then in what way are you accountable to the rest of the 7 billion people ?

I am not, nor have I ever been an Atheist, but I gotta tell you; this could not be more wrong.

Do you feel this way about non-chritians as well?

Just curious...

If I wanted to not be held accountable I would commit atrocities and then ask for forgiveness as a Christian. The only unforgiveable sin is not accepting Jesus.

If I went out and shot someone on the street, what would happen?

No.

Why only Atheists? I am trying to understand all of this. I read a lot, I look things up, I research. I have not found a real reason why so many are against Atheism. It's like the plague.

So you are equating legality with morality ?

Ok, I'll bite.

The same thing that would happen if you sold the guy an unlicensed handgun and some full sized magazines.

Are you claiming a moral equivalence to killing him and arming him now because the legal penalty is the same ?

Do you just invent things in your own mind?

We have tons of immoral laws on the books. Many with their very roots in religion.
