hear*

Poor brainlet cant understand the difference between advocacy of a position and neutrally explaining it

Even then there'd be mass denial, refusal in the face of the judge

not smite, just give us a list of morals, they could be carved into stone tablets or something. i want to see them do it though, no parlour tricks like having a prophet do it for them

well presumably God would have to prove he is the big cheese

and that would involve some smote

Crap, I was about to make a religion out of that..

Assuming our laws are just, defined to the minimum effect, and enforced with swift and reliable justice, we could forget having to rely on God making an appearance, he shouldn't have to roll up

Yes but that wouldn't make objective morality

that would just be us agreeing on a set of morals.

Haven't we already spent the last thousand years doing that?

Government needs to be accountable for upholding what we already deem to be objective morality.

but it isn't objective it is subjective.

well we tried, but people keep moving the goalposts forwards and backwards

the laws we set in place are just the shit we can agree on.

I use objective tongue in cheek, we can get just close enough to tolerate the definition.

i wasn't entirely joking when i said objective morality is a social construct, if we're happy to use the term despite the obvious issues

Semantics are an idle sport

Of couse you think the idea of objective morals is a social construct if you believe that morality is fundimentally subjective what else could it be

..

God isn't going to be here for a while..

"I find this apolocaplyse to be fairly accommodating"

it's ok, i watched a film this evening that showed god is actually a vengeful petulant brat who just fucks with moses for the lulz

He's actually controlling the NPCs seeing if we'll rise to the challenge.

"exodus: gods and kings" - it wasnt an entirely bad film but it makes god look like a complete asshole

Well, knowing the entire timeline would drive anyone to boredom.

It has to be engaging for us, otherwise we won't buy into the whole life shnazz.

god (depicted as a petulant child) informs moses that 400 years of oppression is enough. you'd have thought 40 would be enough, or even 4. but no - 400 is where he really gets fed up enough to do something about it

You have to want your freedom enough to fight for it, only then will you value it.

the effects were good

He got to do some cool wizardry, the memory of which will leave him laughing all the way to death.

'Grandpa Mo, tell us the Pharaoh story again'

Without Hillary, we would have no meme wars.

So give it your all, ne?

Evil was never meant to win

We've still got a lot of work to do, the morale boost will last so long, but I can feel the next horizon

Our challenge is integrating the left (selectively)

And not creating reasons for terrorists

Collectively we stand a really good shot at starting a glorious age for the West, and subsequently the world who looks to us from Hong Kong and elsewhere

A highlight I'm excited for is the alliance forming with Russia
