I don't want a fear based system but our system to such extend is fear based. Why do you think a homeless beggar who has nothing to loose does not ste...

Yeah i am telling this guy the same. but he isn't understanding :cry: :cry:

Then basically they avoid evil acts and stuff because of fear of "fear of punishment"

Yeah not all are bad deep down. Some still got that maybe little but of goodness in them. Btw your answers were short yet so meaningful. I appreciate ...

I agree

Interesting perspective but I dont think making a thread on this thought makes a person good. maybe it makes the person "Self Aware bad person"

Such a illogical thing to say. you are justifying your claim by saying most people haven't done crimes, so they haven't experienced punishment thus th...

yeah surely it is more pleasant way if you DON'T HAVE POWER. People tend to live together like this to be strong as whole and they act kind because th...

Don't you think in my given scenario. most people will perform big evils and a lot of them. Like if a person could do anything he wants without gettin...

I get where you are coming from and what you are trying to convey. But don't you think the scenario I presented, In this world there are instances whe...

Now that I read your response I am realizing various thinks and possibilities that i hadn't thought of. I appreciate you for taking some time to respo...

I didn't quite get it. My apologies. Are you trying to say these hypothetical scenarios have nothing to do with reality or Did i misunderstood. could ...

Yeah then all of us will be average in that scenario according to standard of that time but aren't we all still bad according to todays standards

But don't you think we that we usually don't consider a person who says if he had 1 million he would give it to poor a good person because we don't kn...

I don't think that will is true or will be true in the future. I think it is the punishment that keeps people honest and act good. Some people might f...

So basically you are saying that even if a person decides to do bad act when there is 0 chances of him getting caught he still overall is a good perso...

i did read it. but the story in itself asks a question at end which plato then answers in the rest of the book. But i dont have time to read the whole...

But doesn't god show his perspective in holy books. For eg if you are a muslim then gods perspective can be seen in quran or if you are a Christian th...

Yeah both are necessary in this world but isnt god said to be All powerful. If yes then he can change the fundamental features of reality according to...

You said "what is right for me might not be right for other person" this could be said for various things and I agree on that but dont you think that ...

If i understood you correctly then you are basically saying that god gave us free will and we do cruel acts and it wouldn't be fair to call intervenin...

Brother if you hve knowledge regarding this interpretation of God then i would love to question because i literally wanted to question but stopped bec...

Well you gave the answer by referencing to a different interpretation lf God and there are various questions about this interpretation but i won't ask...

Thanks for the advice man! I appreciate it

Now that you told me to read this properly and discerningly now i understand what you are saying. Your words show that you kind of believe that religi...

By something that differentiates me i assume that you are referring to something like "soul" or stuff like that. So my answer for your question will b...

Sorry for that. But yeah first of all we were discussing about gods mercy and the other thing is that you said the formula of jesus was his own values...

How do you know jesus was right. You guys believe that god is all loving and merciful but yet we still suffer, you say he loves us the most but still ...

I'm quite impressed by you because when I wrote about this topic I was 100 percent sure that what I'm saying is correct and there is no error except t...

If you want to learn about islamic history then the first step is probably gonna be to read the time of prophet Muhammad pbuh because that's where it ...

Now that you talk about it like that I think you are right and no decision can be neutral and every decision is influenced by personal beliefs

A simple example of this is a judge in a courtroom given a decision. There he is not influenced by his personal beliefs and values but rather gets bel...

I get what you are saying You are trying to say that even if I try not be influenced by personal beliefs that itself is a belief and you are getting i...

I also agree with you on the thing that if we make a decision without beliefs than that is just a random decision but I'm not saying that we have to m...

You are completely right I I have also talked about this in one comment. We can say that being neutral is a paradox and it contradicts itself but the ...

I think there might be a misunderstanding between us because you are saying that a decision cant be made without value and in my last reply I told you...

I am not saying that a decision can be made without beliefs and values but I'm saying that it can be made without personal beliefs and values (though ...

I agree with you on the fact that decision can't be made without beliefs but if you read the title then you will know that I'm not saying that we have...

We are talking about beliefs in general whether moral, religious or any other beliefs. Yes we need a belief to make decisions and practically one can'...

Well there is no metric for measuring if a belief is correct or not and that is the reason why being neutral while making a decision is important beca...
