or what would be his nature

2019-04-25 08:21:20 UTC  

well what goes beyond time

2019-04-25 08:21:49 UTC  

or what is the ruler of time, the cage that makes up our world

2019-04-25 08:22:47 UTC  

that without which time wouldn't have the structure

2019-04-25 08:24:41 UTC  

I'm just wondering how you know that the morals god gave are actually good if you don't think you could distinguish good morals from bad without god

2019-04-25 08:25:27 UTC  

Like he could have just given you non-ideal morals and you'd never know

2019-04-25 08:26:02 UTC  

You have to know what God is if you want to talk about the theological understanding of good and evil

2019-04-25 08:26:56 UTC  

But we don't really know what God is

2019-04-25 08:27:32 UTC  

Because everything would emerge from God's voice and we would be his mirror image

2019-04-25 08:27:55 UTC  

Well what goes beyond time

2019-04-25 08:28:31 UTC  

or what is that which rules from the beginning to the end of it (a concept, not a being)

2019-04-25 08:29:19 UTC  

the most basic event is A => B

2019-04-25 08:29:34 UTC  

what does this event require

2019-04-25 08:30:17 UTC  

`Would those virtues be good if God hadn't demonstrated that they were good?`
maybe, but how would we know if not for god?

2019-04-25 08:30:42 UTC  

in the christcuck narrative, we have god to thank for our moral senses, us being made in god's image and all that

2019-04-25 08:31:07 UTC  

well what is God

2019-04-25 08:31:32 UTC  

"christcuck" is not an argument, not every Christian is a pope licking black people's shoes

2019-04-25 08:31:39 UTC  

kek

2019-04-25 08:31:48 UTC  

So let's say you're right and either logic or theology can prove everything god says is true

2019-04-25 08:32:00 UTC  

the pope is evil, the vatican has always been evil

2019-04-25 08:32:15 UTC  

no give me an answer to what is actually God

2019-04-25 08:32:27 UTC  

otherwise you'll just reject everything as nonsense

2019-04-25 08:33:02 UTC  

I can't tell you what God is because I don't believe in a god

2019-04-25 08:33:35 UTC  

No give me an answer as to which principle goes beyond time

2019-04-25 08:33:47 UTC  

I don't care about your belief

2019-04-25 08:34:32 UTC  

Your faith doesn't matter whatsoever

2019-04-25 08:34:45 UTC  

Time being linear could even just be a limit of our perception. The nature of the universe could trancend time and we wouldn't know

2019-04-25 08:35:01 UTC  

ye but what transcends time

2019-04-25 08:35:29 UTC  

Inherent principles of matter and energy

2019-04-25 08:35:39 UTC  

one thing we would know and which would be legitimate through circular reasoning

2019-04-25 08:36:15 UTC  

logic/logos

2019-04-25 08:36:55 UTC  

I don't agree with anything being legitimate through circular reasoning

2019-04-25 08:37:24 UTC  

how is logic legitimate other than through logic

2019-04-25 08:37:55 UTC  

if you do not agree with logic, you're putting your own worldview outside of it

2019-04-25 08:38:46 UTC  

Logic isn't legitimate, it's useful. You need to make base assumptions about the universe to assume it is delivering something approximating truth

2019-04-25 08:39:08 UTC  

Like assuming that what we gather with our senses is real

2019-04-25 08:39:36 UTC  

I think I should just tell my mum that a friend has invited me to a BBQ in a Manchester. That's the only option that would not end with my mum tearing me a new asshole.

2019-04-25 08:39:37 UTC  

We can't prove that, but our logic systems hinge on it when we make claims about the world around us

2019-04-25 08:39:53 UTC  

anyhow back to the original discussion
i certainly can see how one would think that the nonreligious aren't moral, if you were

2019-04-25 08:40:07 UTC  

and vice versa actually, lot of nonreligious think that religious people are immoral

2019-04-25 08:40:28 UTC  

so truth and logic do not exist, it's just a tool
