That gentleman headed up a whole university department and is an expert demographer. Do you have better statistics to refute him? If not, talk to the ...

If not fear, what motivates homophobes to discriminate against gays without a just cause to the point of wanting to deny them a lifelong loving relati...

How about faith leading to the idol worship of a genocidal and evil god while thinking him good? Regards DL
September 10, 2019 at 00:16
I didn't. I just complicated things for you to show how morals are all subjective. Respect and honor have to be earned. You have yet to earn it. Regar...

Is it as immoral if the cop took the ring over to stop the pimp from abusing his girls? I knew a prostitute one time who became one to end her abuse a...

I use this almost as a signature sometimes. Both Christianity and Islam, slave holding ideologies, have basically developed into intolerant, homophobi...

Dislike is mild. I think hate would be closer to the truth. I say that proudly as such evil should be hated. At least I hope it is as hate is born fro...

Let me amend my statement of not finding any objective moral tenets. I might have found two but have never really had a full debate on them. One of th...

For the one individual, I guess we can say that his moral decision is subjective and once his decision is made, it might become objective to him alone...

If you look at the stats, you will find that reproduction drops when contraceptives are available, when education and health care improve, or the stan...

All morals are subjective and I am using the system prescribed in scriptures which is basically the Golden Rule, even though that rule is a lot older ...
September 09, 2019 at 20:42
Nice that you agree. What have I put that is not realistic? All Christian fly the cross and there is little difference in their immoral scapegoating i...
September 09, 2019 at 20:36
I see more than one Jesus in scriptures, a Gnostic Christian Jesus and a Rome created one. If you see only the Constantine/Rome created Jesus, then yo...

Doing what their lying preachers have done before them. I think of all those who swear to supernatural 7th hand garbage are lying. They just never adm...

My pleasure buddy. Regards DL
September 09, 2019 at 16:09
Reproduction decision usually have more than one issue, so no, I do not agree. Further, most theists are not really believers in their religions and a...
September 09, 2019 at 16:08
The core text to a Gnostic is denoted by his label. As a Gnostic Christian, my core text is the bible. A Gnosticv Muslim's core text will be the Qur'a...
September 09, 2019 at 15:58
Yes, but you do not see historians killing each other over their views the way the religious do. Historians tend to report what they think are facts a...
September 09, 2019 at 15:48
There is only one basic Gnostic Christianity and our friend does not have a clue as to what that looks like. This is not surprising given the lies the...
September 09, 2019 at 13:53
A little wordy, but thanks for the argument. You win this one. Regards DL
September 09, 2019 at 13:51
This. Regards DL
September 09, 2019 at 13:49
As perpetual seekers, we do not recognize any ultimate divine order or absolute reason. That would be idol worshiping and make us no better than the m...
September 09, 2019 at 13:48
No wonder you try to get definitions ahead of a discussion. You misuse terms and likely think wee all do. Regards DL
September 09, 2019 at 13:44
More than welcomed buddy. Regards DL
September 09, 2019 at 13:32
This is why approaching any text, we are to try to not be for or against when beginning reading. That is also why reality, as some say, is a collectiv...
September 09, 2019 at 13:30
This. Though I would say faith based, but again, no argument. Regards DL
September 09, 2019 at 13:25
True, but those writings will always be disputed by other historians. I agree. Historians look for accuracy in their usually peer reviewed writings, w...
September 09, 2019 at 13:22
Food for thought. Thanks. Regards DL
September 09, 2019 at 13:15
I do not measure the worth of an ideology on whether the speaker has children or not. Noye how prolific Muslims are yet they presently have the most i...
September 09, 2019 at 13:09
Please read my reply to our friend and repent for your reaction to B.S. Regards DL
September 09, 2019 at 13:01
LOL. Again you speak out of ignorance of Gnostic Christianity. Gnostic Christians are universalists and have tied equality to righteousness. This foll...
September 09, 2019 at 12:59
Did you have something specific in mind? I don't think I agree at all with your view as I have known doctors addicted to drugs who are quite good at h...
September 09, 2019 at 12:37
A good post. It is all psychology for sure. Not the sexual part of it. The peer pressure and desire for tribal security is. All a religion is is a tri...
September 09, 2019 at 12:33
I have suggested a governmental revue of the religions to decide which is more moral and to help guide the population. That would help show the garbag...
September 09, 2019 at 12:25
Shame is what they should feel, but that would displace the contempt they prefer to feel without a just cause. "Whoever imagines himself a favorite wi...

Nicely put. Regards DL
September 09, 2019 at 12:14
Thanks for having more patience than I. I just tell such to do their own research as when I supply mine, Christians especially just discard them due t...

In philosophical discussions, it is well known by the intelligential, that definitions happen at the end of a general discussion and not before as peo...

They forget that the most Christian nation in the world, the U.S apparently, --- if not a U.S. joke, --- has the highest abortion rates in the world a...
September 09, 2019 at 11:59
Your suggestion is foolish as we show our disrespect for supernatural stupid thinking and Christianity by insulting Yahweh, a genocidal prick, demiurg...
September 09, 2019 at 11:53
Informative post. Thanks. There is no normal that says that one should discriminate without a just cause. Normal, especially in religions, seem to cha...
September 09, 2019 at 11:46
Something worthy of an answer. I generally agree with what you put, although you end with language I do not like. P C means many things to many people...
September 08, 2019 at 18:41
Many immoral thinkers have. Gays and women have been targets for the immoral who do not like the notion of equality for many years. Regards DL
September 08, 2019 at 18:33
Ok. That would be you ignoring evil and the golden rule. If you think you should live by the Golden Rule, change the labels in this quote to women, mi...
September 08, 2019 at 18:28
I do not think the two have equality the way you seem to wish. No history book offers supernatural and unlikely creatures like talking serpents and do...
September 08, 2019 at 18:24
Yes. My definition of believe says that belief is fact based and a believer in something will be able to give you the facts that led to his belief. If...
September 08, 2019 at 18:19
Moral people. Regards DL
September 08, 2019 at 17:59
Yes. Secular law has brought Christianity to heel. Finally. Your focus is Islam, which I agree is worse than Christianity these days, but let's not fo...
September 08, 2019 at 17:28
Good for you to live in a progressive area instead of a fundamental literalist area. Anecdotal information, while interesting, has little value as com...

Given the number of Christians that run from me due to not being able to justify their immoral views, I would say I am a great success then. Cowards c...
