Now he's acting understanding
So what if a group of people or nation unanimously decided that murder and such is ok? Is that still wrong if they’re all ok with it?
There needs to be an objective moral standard to say it’s wrong, which is impossible without God
Oh nevermind
God can be separate from religion.
Bruh
What
"The object of a religion can be separate from a religion"
"creator" if you will
"The creator of everything can be separate from the institution of its worship"
🥴
Except it does work. Greg Bahnsen literally disproved all other religions under this transcendental criteria. The biblical God has the transcendental criteria necessary to be the Ultimate Standard of all experiences because of His nature revealed in Scripture. Allah, Brahman, any other non-Christian quasi-divine entity, cannot provide said preconditions. The nature they reveal and the worldview from which they assert themselves to provide cannot provide those preconditions, thus by the fact we can experience said preconditions alone disproves the not-Christian worldviews.
im leaving now though, seriously.
lol
Good
I’m not religious, religion can be corrupted by man.
That’s another thing that’s supposed to be different about Christianity, Christians are supposed to have a relationship with Christ
I urge for the one day someone actually listens to what people have to say in this channel
Wait
Then what are you doing here
Not if it's from the biblical God. I understand you take this from Jordan Peterson, but Jordan Peterson is simply incorrect and is not philosophically well read on these issues and his epistemology reduces to absurdity when examined in more depth.

For how TAG fares against other religious worldviews.
@Nuro In regards to you asserting that "sentience" gives a right to life. Equality is a false god. A zebra is prey. Just as much as a lion is a predator. We humans live by breeding and killing millions of animals. This can be justified by "Society flourishes because of it". If sentience gives the right to life, my rights would take greater precedence than the rights of a mental invalid. With that Central belief, you get an ethic that justifies, even celebrates, the killing of those who society, or more likely politicians, deems a drain. If the value is placed upon protecting kin, you may in turn create a racialist ethic that puts the lives of family and one's "People" over the well-being of non-kin. I apologise for this rather long-winded message, I simply wished to share why I am very guarded when people state that one can be a "good" person without religion. Subjectivism has always got my hackles raised.
Religion defined and restricted outside biblical parameters; yes, it will inevitably corrupt man, because man is being conditioned by a system that is apart from Jesus Christ.
That’s why it was the religious ones that accused Jesus and got Him sentenced to death
Any value that presupposes neutrality and autonomous reasoning inevitably falls to absurdity and vicious circular reasoning.
They left God for man controlled religion
I know some of you wished to go a more step by step, classical approach, but I go staright to the interlocutor's epistemic and ontological foundations that define their entire argument.
Read some Greg Bahnsen and Cornelius Van Til, they will be eye openers. Or read some apologists like James Anderson and Jason Lisle.
The Pharasees were far too content with Rome giving them a very loose leash in regards to the Jews in Judea. Jesus was an obstacle to them as he called out their bs. So they killed him.@CoolGuard

Laying this out here for those that missed it.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
It's pretty heavy in philosophical vocabulary but it's very insightful.
I've listened to works by C.S. Lewis. They helped me when I going through a rough time.
Just saw this now.
Yes, only by revelation from God can you know anything, whether rationally or morally.
Yea
if you could ask Jesus something what would it be

Ah the important question.
God's favorite meme made by us humans.
That'd be awesome to know.
It will be the ultimate comedy and laughing moment in all of the universe's history.
To know God's favorite meme.
