I wager this a 50/50 chance of a prog busybody school administrator, or a gym teacher with a bit too much self-importance.
or maybe both
Who believes an abrahamic god existed at some point of time, wether he was actually a higher power or not.
Me. How can God exist and then no longer exist?
^
If he wasnt actually a higher power
but then how did he create the universe if he wasn't?
Who created god?
you mean something like the end of The Last Question or what?
The abrahamic god had to exist as 3 major religions all speak of him throughout the course of history
Wether he was a higher power or sides with one religion in particular is debatable
I was having a debate about if some animals are capable of understanding mortality with anon last night
I'm not in the capacities to side on that subject
but common knowledge has always said not
Some animals have been documented mourning over theyre dead young
that's true
dogs shed tears when they see their mother dead or are abussed by humans
Anon argued that only humans are capable of going to heaven because they are the only sentient lifeform
However, creatures have been documented showing emotions many times
Typically primates, elephants, and cetaceans (whales & doliphins)
but the thing is if they understand their actions are whether right or wrong or rather they just act according to survival principles
remember the definition of morality
"Scientists studying animal behaviour believe they have growing evidence that species ranging from mice to primates are governed by moral codes of conduct in the same way as humans.
Until recently, humans were thought to be the only species to experience complex emotions and have a sense of morality.
But Prof Marc Bekoff, an ecologist at University of Colorado, Boulder, believes that morals are "hard-wired" into the brains of all mammals and provide the "social glue" that allow often aggressive and competitive animals to live together in groups.
He has compiled evidence from around the world that shows how different species of animals appear to have an innate sense of fairness, display empathy and help other animals that are in distress."
"Recent neurology work has also revealed that distantly related mammals such as whales and dolphins have the same structures in their brains that are thought to be responsible for empathy in humans."
"Other findings have also suggested that some animals may even be capable of showing empathy with the suffering of other species."
I see
very interesting indeed
Its still controversial as its one of those Science Vs. Religion things
The problem is religion makes humans feel special
especially the thought of your species being the only intellegent lifeform that will get to go to the afterlife
but then when that gets disproved, not only does it mock religion, but it mocks humans aswell so of course there will be denial
at least I don't relate morality as a religious matter
but the capacity of judge if actions are right or wrong according to your principles
which might be founded in religion,of course,but also in sole logic
"why would I attack somebody who haven't done anything against me?"or "why do I have to obey my authorities?" can be answered outside of a religious perspective if you ask me
aaand I killed the chat
