In which case they are deceiving themselves. *facepalm*. If they enjoy that which is not good, they are neither ethical nor moral. In which case it is...

It's relevant to show that Christianity's doctrines are reasonable :) (and in fact, if they weren't reasonable, I would not agree to them in the first...

No, it shouldnt apply in such cases. That's your opinion. People may also think they are nourishing their bodies when they are dreaming that they are ...

I agree. Growing pockets of corruption, and also a culture which makes corruption seem cool and smart. I don't think so. More and more people consider...

So men should have no right over the child compared to the woman just because they do not hold the child in their body for 9 months? That's unfair, so...

No I said people who want to have their cake and eat it too are on the fringe of immorality, and it was referring to women and abortion: Yes sexual mo...

"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and ALL things shall be added unto you" - Virtue is what makes everything else in life worth having. "Have no other...

How do I understand them? I don't believe you understand how I understand moral values. As I said many times, I don't consider homosexual sex in and o...

I don't agree with conservatism of the type you find in the UK for example. I would also not describe myself as a liberalist in anyway. I don't think ...

Yes this was my point. Giving women alone the right to abortion, opens up the situation of the father literarily having no say in what happens with wh...

Agreed. Haha, so if she does something good for you, she's good, otherwise she's terrible? :P I just think she's just about the worst, most immoral pe...

Yes, death is an ever-present threat to people's psyche, because unlike Socrates, they have not yet realised that the immoral life is not worth living...

Good news for the world, the corrupt should be exposed and brought to justice. I don't buy this. That people close to him were involved I agree. But t...

And non-religious people are also coping (and deluding themselves) by being unbelievers. Non-religious people are afraid of ever being held accountabl...

Empirical research is not of much help when it comes to issues which are culturally mediated because the culture you live in, will, to a large degree,...

I think reversing current abortion laws is moral progress. Sexual responsibility and appreciation of human life should be promoted, like they have alw...

Indeed.

Depends what you mean by homosexual lifestyle. If it's a homosexual couple living non-promiscuous lives, then clearly no. If we're talking about a hom...

Do you disagree that the way the US ended the Iraq war facilitated ISIS's rise to power in the region? Do you not think that if the US had retreated m...

Ending two disastrous wars in an even more disastrous way that has left the Middle East in tatters and gave rise to ISIS... ObamaCare has done absolut...

Obama has been a great President?? No way. More like one of the worst Presidents in US history - he has literarily not done anything while in office. ...

Both are extremes in a way Mayor. I would prefer somewhere in the middle between the two. No authority, vs complete authority are both extremist persp...

I agree, so long that this is done legally, in a way that enables communities and countries to protect themselves.

Agreed. Do you think illegal immigrants should be allowed to freely come in whenever they want?

Yes, forgiven after they face the consequences that the law requires them to face for committing acts of violence etc. Not forgiven in the sense of no...

I agree with it in this sense. I don't agree with understandable in the sense of saying that they should be forgiven. When talking about moral matters...

Okay, agreed, I see your point. Indeed, I mean it is wrong only in-so-far as they are breaking the law. Of course people have a right to take sensible...

Agreed. What use is a nice, tall building if the foundation is corrupt? This must be an example to all that the law must be followed. I can see this w...

So you're telling me that I should license the breaking of the law for people who are smart enough to commit to actions, under cover, which makes them...

Yes, still, it is just that illegal immigration is wrong, so it follows that this, being a just law, must be enforced adequately.

In what sense is it understandable? To my mind, violence and breaking the law isn't understandable. No circumstance can justify this. And if you think...

This is indeed more to making a point. I still find the Russell insinuation that O'Reily is racist based on the way he has phrased his points to be so...

I don't think this is buffoon behavior quite frankly. His way of talking is quite effective at convincing people, and making people feel good. I would...

No. I wouldn't disrupt anyone's rally. I would try to organise a different rally for protesters. Or, I would write and speak to people about my views,...

Pesky poor? He has never spoken ill of the poor as far as I'm aware. Nor has he spoken badly about the blacks - quite the contrary he has said that th...

He may sound out-landish and over the top with some things, but that's just how he is in the way he speaks. He simply talks that way, pure and simple,...

Indeed.

Funny that you say that a man who has done so well in business is a buffoon. Trump has always stood up for greatness, for believing in people, and for...

That may be true politically, but culturally there has been a very large shift to the left. The left literarily dominates American culture. This is pr...

No, I think this is simply a testament to human stupidity and failure to learn from history :)

Why do you see Donald that way?

No, the real arbiter of this is our natural reason. And our natural reason, if we anaylse it carefully, does indeed yield the conclusions that I have ...

Yes we all have some moral intuition when we are born, that is true. BUT, this moral intuition gets corrupted with time, unless we remind ourselves of...

I don't, but most people do. It is silly if you think that most people have the time and the intelligence required to discover moral right and wrong a...

Good, so despite the bad in religion, it is still the best option for society that we have, which is what I meant to say all along.

What is this track record of horror, backwardness and oppression? 100 years of inquisition? What about the track record of secularism then? What about...

It's true. Without religion there would be no morality in society. Philosophy works, but it works only for those who are very intelligent, and have a ...

From the French Revolution, which by the way, for your information, was not started by the poor people. It was started by people like Georges Danton a...

I've explained what is wrong with it, have you not read my previous post? Do you disagree with any of the points there? If so, why? It's not excessive...

There is no progressive tradition (at least not until the socialists like Marx). Such a thing does not exist. Liberal is a conservative word, applied ...
