Exactly lol

2020-11-16 19:40:52 UTC  

Because that would go against their freedom

2020-11-16 19:41:03 UTC  

Their freedom to live

2020-11-16 19:41:18 UTC  

I think the values that the 10 commandments state are pretty good today. don't cheat, be nice, no murder etc.

2020-11-16 19:41:25 UTC  

Oh for sure

2020-11-16 19:41:34 UTC  

Yeah I agree, they’re a pretty good start for sure

2020-11-16 19:41:47 UTC  

obv other religions had similar writing but the commandments are most well known

2020-11-16 19:41:59 UTC  

Yup

2020-11-16 19:42:33 UTC  

I mean I fully believe like without "religion" modern faith if you will -- the morality of individual worth would not exist

2020-11-16 19:43:10 UTC  

I agree completely, and I read an article from the APA that theorizes (with studies as evidence) that the human brain is hardwired to look for a higher power

2020-11-16 19:43:26 UTC  

absolutely. I've heard of that study too

2020-11-16 19:43:40 UTC  

Even as children we put things we can’t explain as things that “god” did lol

2020-11-16 19:44:19 UTC  

Yeah for sure also an interesting concept like, I feel there are again all little nuances but much of religion "reveals" certain natural truths

2020-11-16 19:44:27 UTC  

we're so hardwired to explain things, but explaining things like the creation of everything is impossible for the human psyche to comprehend without omnipotent interference

2020-11-16 19:44:27 UTC  

Yup

2020-11-16 19:44:34 UTC  

Exactly

2020-11-16 19:44:42 UTC  

I agree w both of you lol

2020-11-16 19:44:43 UTC  

like, how can you deny a general equal worth of people? Or that honesty is superior regardless

2020-11-16 19:44:57 UTC  

Yes

2020-11-16 19:45:32 UTC  

After that I mean you can get silly and be like "long hair is immoral" (i dunno you name it) but i'm all about the big stuff

2020-11-16 19:46:12 UTC  

So we base it off of freedom above all, then the high value of life in general but especially human life, as well as valuing honesty, justice, kindness, etc

2020-11-16 19:46:31 UTC  

Damn this would make a good utopia book lol

2020-11-16 19:46:37 UTC  

Yeah I mean forgiveness is also key

2020-11-16 19:46:38 UTC  

My writer brain is tingling

2020-11-16 19:46:41 UTC  

Oh true

2020-11-16 19:46:47 UTC  

That is something I feel the left seriously lacks

2020-11-16 19:46:52 UTC  

For sure

2020-11-16 19:47:40 UTC  

Maybe people in general

2020-11-16 19:47:48 UTC  

It is the hardest thing to do to be fair

2020-11-16 19:48:06 UTC  

I agree. simple things like looks shouldn't define core beliefs. that's basically identity politics with extra steps right?

2020-11-16 19:48:20 UTC  

Oh definitely, I struggle w forgiving people even tho I’m pretty hard to offend in the first place lol

2020-11-16 19:48:34 UTC  

Agreed

2020-11-16 19:49:45 UTC  

Cause to me it's like the whole "but the greatest of these is charity.", "However, we often think of charity nowadays as giving away money or things, which doesn’t encompass all of what agape is about. Agape love is unconcerned with the self and concerned with the greatest good of another."

2020-11-16 19:50:02 UTC  

Yesss

2020-11-16 19:50:25 UTC  

It's not easy though lol

2020-11-16 19:50:28 UTC  

Charity isn’t giving up your stuff bc someone else is less fortunate, it’s accepting and helping to teach others to raise themselves imo

2020-11-16 19:50:52 UTC  

But it's really the most important thing IMO, and I mean to be sappy I feel that a lot of these SJWs are just really lost people

2020-11-16 19:51:17 UTC  

Like if we just gave up our stuff to everyone, the whole world would be poor bc we’re not teaching these less fortunate people how to be fortunate, so we keep giving more and more until there’s nothing left to give

2020-11-16 19:51:32 UTC  

Yeah that has loads of other problem yeah

2020-11-16 19:51:41 UTC  

They need to learn the skills to survive in order to thrive ya know

2020-11-16 19:51:42 UTC  

Yup
