I've spent most of my life keeping my nose clean in preparation for death.
How unfortunate. That's bad news: you've been wasting your time completely. . .
Oh well.
Do not take any of this seriously, Gary; I absolutely forbid it. 🙂

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

My belief doesn't make it false either. I believe that we are all going to die. That's also true. Your belief that we are going to die is based on solid evidence, and probably personal observation, you didn't just get it out of some old book, or a Christmas cracker. You know what else I believe? We...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

I'm not "trying to frighten people." I'm trying to tell people the truth. It might be true that you believe it, but that doesn't make it the truth. My belief doesn't make it false either. I believe that we are all going to die. That's also true. Your belief that we are going to die is bas...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

The fact that you see no ethical problem in trying to frighten people into believing in God tells us all we need to know about the Bible. I'm not "trying to frighten people." I'm trying to tell people the truth. It might be true that you believe it, but that doesn't make it the truth. If ...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

Pascal was right. It isn't a prudent bet. Gambling doesn't seem like a very honest way of approaching religion anyway. We are all "gambling," if that's what you want to call it, every day. We wager that we will get up, walk around, surivive it, and get back to bed. But one day, we'll be w...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

Ask James Joyce, I guess. Because you can trace the motif back no father than him. It was Harbal's quotation, too...not mine. I pointed out that it's not Bible. What was my quotation? "The approach to morality and the subservient attitude would be completely unacceptable to me, so what would b...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

A funny thought: "satisfaction" was never on my mind. I would be pleased for your sake, of course, but in no way self-congratulatory on my own behalf. Personally, I have nothing to gain. But okay. "I will not serve." That's a quotation. James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as ...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

That's pretty hard to do on an anonymous forum. Quite an achievement, really. I'll consider it a badge of honour. 🏅 I don't think you would get the satisfaction you anticipate by getting me to believe in God, because I would still be unable to go along with the things you say it entails. A funny th...

Re: Sex and the Religious-Left

I'm aware that there are people who only have to hear the words "drag show" and "children" mentioned in the same sentence and their imaginations go into overdrive. You have deliberately missed the point, because you are completely unfamiliar with the social debate and conflict g...

Re: Sex and the Religious-Left

One reason to ask the questions I asked and Harbal asked is to see what is actually going on. I have forgotten whether you or Wizard or both asserted that it had to do with sex being for procreation. That is not quite right. In all fairness, Harbal asks questions for reasons of seeking entertainmen...

Re: Sex and the Religious-Left

There's not enough sex to go around, when a small number of men can claim a large group of women as mates. And it's furthermore a lie that sex is "Free", or that it is not an active, on-going, ever-present competition. I get it now, you are one of those incel people. :idea: I thought I wa...
