You really are a fucking idiot.

50% right. I'm not an idiot, but I enjoy the other half of the insult.

Gazza - is the thread title now reasonable: Islam MUST HAVE reformation or be outlawed Perhaps the government shouldn't regulate what people believe or how they worship. I know the governments of Iran and Afghanistan disagree, but perhaps, attofishpi, you should avoid using them as exemplars. It se...

Muslims have been killing Jews and Christians indiscriminatly in their homeland(s) since the inception of Islam. The warlord Mohammad has wording in their scriptural doctrine specifically telling Muslims to kill Jews and basically everone that doesn't convert. The Crusades were clearly a waste of t...

ISLAM is an evil ideology moreso than a religion. No other religion has masses of doctrine insisting people covert to its teachings AND laws or be killed by its followers. Perhaps you have never heard of the Crusades, the Inquisition, or the Witch-killing craze in 16th century Europe. I am not an e...

Don't be too arrogant with your 'logic' which is more likely to fill with holes (sic?). My view is 'whatever is ruled by rules' or laws in this case, that is not morality-proper but rather it only has some association with the inherent morality-proper within all humans. Society and cultures has (si...

You got a lot to learn.

Doubtless. Fortunately, I might even be capable of learning, unlike you.

If morality is encoded in our DNA, like a computer algorithm, then all of these religious distinctions are irrelevant. How is it that they differ, given your "objective morality" theory?

Why would I be stupid enough to accept Islamic ideology being part of the country I want to feel safe in? “Kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them… And fight them until there is no more unbelief and worship is for Allah alone” (Quran 2:191-193). “The Messenger of Allah said: I have been comm...

There are tons of evidences to show that inbreeding has serious consequences for the species. If there is no inhibition at all to inbreeding within a higher animal species, the species could be extinct in time. Thus the general moral maxim [is not rule] is inbreeding ought to be prohibited. Since a...

Islam is a cancer to the freedoms we have taken for granted. There is no such thing "Islamaphobia" - a phobia is an irrational fear, whereas any intelligent society should fear the spread of this evil ideology. 'Allah" is not a proper name, like Jesus. It simply means "God"...

By the way, morality is not "shared across all cultures and species". Some cultures practice polygamy, others monogamy. The ancient Greeks thought trading with non-Greeks was cowardly and contemned it. Some societies enslave other humans, others do not. Sharks, I'd suggest, don't have mor...

Reproduction is but another form of survival. An individual's mortality overcome by passing on half its genes. Thanks for informing us, although the sentence is meaningless and illiterate. "Overcome"? Huh? A group of gay priests will go extinct. A tribe of transexual cripples will not pas...

Your whole argument is a sham. First we need to define 'what is morality & ethics'. Morality is the management of evil to enable its related good to manifest. Then we need to define 'what is evil'. We need a specific list of what is deemed evil. For example, "humans killing of humans"...

Who is the "they" that want to "survive and expand"? "Expand"? Does that mean get fatter? Reproduction proves adaptation to changing environments. Reproduction proves nothing of the sort. Why would it? Fitness. Those who manage to reproduce managed to survive long enou...

According to sworn testimony, Trump likes getting spanked with a rolled up magazine. It turns him on.

The "golden showers" rumor emanating from Russia remains unconfirmed.

The problems with "objective morality" based on evolutionary factors are legion. They include: 1) Such theories often don't explain (or even address) cultural differences. Why, if morality is objective, do moral rules differ dramatically? No they don't. They have similar moral principles ...
