OK, but you're looking at other people's usage, not your own experience. You're watching the animals in the zoo and telling the monkeys what it is to ...
And you gained this insight from your reading, your time here, or in the pew? I'm not going to deny there are elements of what you say present in vari...
The standards have been set by celebrity culture. Your question is what has been done to counterbalance it. How do we organize this pushback without h...
I've got a new type of humor. The punchline is always in Sindhi. Why did the chicken cross the road? ??? ??? ???? ??? ??? Hahaha! It's so much funnier...
If parents have abdicated their responsibility of setting sexual behavior norms to their children, you can't expect those same people to vote to make ...
Maybe, I don't know what incorrect assumptions people make, but why is it relevant that we evaluate our incorrect knee jerk reactions? Of course. But ...
I'm starting to see I think. It's the joke that would be funny if someone were writing satire, but that it's actually true makes it a tragedy. Like if...
I arrived at a new type of joke myself. It's the explaining resolution joke, where you go on and on explaining how a joke works, as if anyone is payin...
I do see the distinction, but you've created a complicated construct. If I understand, you want a purposefully not funny joke that represents itself a...
If you're asking for the biblical account, no, Adam wasn't Jewish. The Hebrews were chosen to receive the Torah at Mt. Sinai after fleeing Egypt, so t...
Goats are friendly little guys. They eat the grass and jump on everything and require little work. Depending on the breed, you might need to shear the...
Which is what? To help your fellow man and woman, love and educate your kids, be a force of happiness to all? Why? Seems meaningless to simply make so...
I found the Dawkins' book I read a general primer on evolution, and I can't imagine it threatened any theists other than Creationists. Maybe there's a...
A group of condors is called either a condo or a scarcity. https://identify.whatbird.com/obj/440/_/california_condor.aspx#:~:text=A%20group%20of%20con...
Too far afield here and really a massive strawman. No one has argued the Bible (or any other text) represents the word of God. I'm not arguing divine ...
You're just describing cognitive dissonance. Sure, we can be absolutely opposed to rape and treat it as if no person can question its immorality ever,...
You are confident we are in agreement that rape is wrong. Why? Just because I'm a Western educated law abiding adult similar enough in background to y...
You've just presented an objective basis for determining morality. You're not arguing relatavism any more. If "flourishing" is the objective goal, you...
This is idiosyncratic to certain religions, but not logically dictated. Judaic views vary, although the afterlife is not posited for the purposes of m...
This makes no sense. You've been very clear that there are no objective goods and evils, but just competing points of view. So then a guy comes along ...
Emotivism then? And if I don't share those emotions, then what's bad to you is good to me and there is no one correct answer? Sort of like vanilla ice...
If you come up with an agenda and proposed format, I'll scrounge up the participants. Then we'll just need a Zoom link and time. Those wishing to prot...
Had I lived 200 years ago. I'd have thought my race entitled to hold slaves and if I lived 80 years ago in Germany, I would have thought the Nazis mon...
Murder doesn't fuck up order unless people can't be convinced it's necessary. Societies of all sorts clicked along with slavery, with its dissolution ...
Yet that's not an answer, but only an argument there could be an answer. So, assuming moral truths are relative to society, the times, the culture, on...
Alright, so for all here who have settled upon relativistic morality, explain the basis of your moral outrage against the rapist and why I should find...
I suspect whatever reservation you have in condemning rape in other nations exists only in your inability to articulate a reason why your cultural val...
I'm not sure the reason for this clarification, as if I abandoned my free will to God. As an aside, and a debate for another time, but relying upon th...
