Theological Arguments, Human Realities

as i have sunken to a new low in condescending posts (according to botchtowersociety, who truthfully is an expert on all things bullshit), it did occur to me that discussions, debates, and mud slinging insult matches on this board often have a common root.. let me put out there that i am not an atheist, nor an agnostic.

frankly, i respect your right to believe that god is a trinity.

that he is jesus.

Good comments, Sulla. Liberal secular democracy emerged first in Christian civilization.

Very true. However, the very things that Christians now cry about are what allowed that, the freedom to choose to NOT be Christian, for instance, or to say that God sucks major donkey balls.

Christian values were used to both promote and crush slavery. Can't really give Jesus credit for that one since he never really said slavery was bad.

Women's suffrage was decried as going against the Bible. A lot of Christians today still view women as a lesser being. Can't really give Jesus credit for that.

Sexual freedom ... well, that's anti-Jesus all the way around.

And socially liberal ideas did NOT orginate in a Christian civilization, at least not in the U.S., since this is NOT a christian nations. First amendment and all.

The same is true of modern science. It only ever developed in Christian culture...and spread from there.

Actually, almost all of modern science, math, cartography, medicine, cosmology, chemistry, physics....start during the golden age of Islam. It developed under ISLAMIC culture ... and spread from there.

History has shown us what happens when we misapply "god"( inquisition)

er, no, they used exactly the values that were in the bible. Kill em all.... That's what happens WITH god and an inflated need for absolute power.

when we remove "god" (Communisim) and in both cases, it is NOT a desirable outcome is it?

er, no, that's what happens when the state uses brutality to crush anything they see as competition.

In either case, it takes very bad people to do those things. It just seems that when God is in the mix, it happens a lot more easily and often.

A godless world will only be a place where one can live if the "godlike' values are still there.

Er, no, killing, slavery, murder of homosexuals, treating women as property, god eternally punishing those that don't stroke his ego....we can do just fine without those value.

It's hard to explain, but noone with a conscience could wreak and sustain this kind of havoc.

It's not that hard to believe. I have known people like that. They are harmful and destructive and utterly without remorse.

OTOH, I mainly just want to see if I can convince people I was the lead guitarist for motorhead while we're having drinks.

Shamus, i have more than one bottle. I'll share with my rapidly evolving monkey. Speaking of evolution...

EP, do you need a lovely assistant, perhaps?

Send me your pictures, I mean, resume :)

He could tell the most bizarre lies about the most important things---and yet was never bothered by it.

My friends, all 5 of them, and I sometimes to this to people, but mainly just to see how long we can make stuff up on fly and keep them believing while making the story more and more ridiculous.

I want to kill Entirely Possible

Only if you kill me with love. And by tearing my face off.

EntirelyPossible . . . You're not an accountant are you?

No. I keep getting paid but I am not entirely sure what my job is. I fly all over the place and talk to people and, don't hate, make a shitload of powerpoints. And drink with my boss. A LOT.

everyone is generally wrong.

Especially and in this context, ironically, especially monkies ;)

I actually studied up on this quite a bit right before I flamed out of the cult, was worried I might be unrepairable. Now I know I am NOT unrepairable, just that I work really hard to stay broken.

The actual test is whether or not you can think like a psychopath... not if you are a psychopath, though, so no worries :) Plus, knowing the purpose of the test kind of taints it.

You said taint :)

and yeah, i am not a psychopath. i tend to run more towards sociopathy, but again, a sliding scale. I don't think i'm sliding down it yet.

I saw the gods last night...

by EntirelyPossible in

the gods of metal!

big 4, yankee stadium, metallica, megadeth, slayer, anthrax.

eight hours of show with some of the greatest thrash metal bands to have ever existed playing their best to an utterly packed crowed at yankees stadium, finishing off with all off the big 4 playing overkill, a tribute to lemmy and his band motorhead, one of the original metal gods.. .

Eight hours! You must be completely deaf today, lol!

I had a little trouble hearing last night on the cab ride back, yeah. Totally worth it, though. I love my new Slayer tshirt, "Now I shall reign in blood"...

sociopaths have no conscience --- imho, it's the main determining factor

There is a distict difference between psychopath and sociopathy. Psychopaths are ALWAYS who they are. Think Ted Bundy.

Sociopaths are situationally unremorseful, glib, liars. Think mobsters. Mob folks are often great parents, good church members, adhere to the rules of society and have a strict code of conduct, donate to charity, etc. When it's time for mob stuff, however, they have much different code of conduct with extremely anti-social rules. Examples might be that they would absolutely NOT tolerate people selling drugs to kids at schools in their neighborhood but have no problem with executing someone that they feel wronged them.
