>anyone who's consistent in their faith is a """Fundementalist"""

2019-03-13 22:46:40 UTC  

but fundamentalists believe their way is the only true way

2019-03-13 22:46:42 UTC  

which

2019-03-13 22:46:43 UTC  

ok protestant

2019-03-13 22:46:46 UTC  

basically describes you

2019-03-13 22:47:04 UTC  

you haven't read or even heard of basic stuff in the Bible

2019-03-13 22:47:10 UTC  

We interpret morality subjectively, hot take

2019-03-13 22:47:15 UTC  

2019-03-13 22:47:16 UTC  

ya

2019-03-13 22:47:17 UTC  

regardless of whether it is or not

2019-03-13 22:47:43 UTC  

if you get your morality from a higher being (i.e. God) then i disagree

2019-03-13 22:47:55 UTC  

well

2019-03-13 22:47:57 UTC  

you can’t believe in morality if you don’t believe in a higher power

2019-03-13 22:47:58 UTC  

you dont

2019-03-13 22:48:04 UTC  

yes you can

2019-03-13 22:48:08 UTC  

it’s impossible

2019-03-13 22:48:09 UTC  

Humans are blinded by their limited perception

2019-03-13 22:48:19 UTC  

So objective morality would be real

2019-03-13 22:48:26 UTC  

but we wouldnt operate as if it were

2019-03-13 22:48:35 UTC  

is what I'm getting at

2019-03-13 22:48:47 UTC  

if you don’t believe in a greater-than-human moral law then you must believe morality is dictated by man, in which case it is pointless to believe in morality

2019-03-13 22:49:01 UTC  

morality is dictated by man

2019-03-13 22:49:07 UTC  

society more specifically

2019-03-13 22:49:15 UTC  

@Cyboman Not true, animals have codes of conduct, albeit very primitive ones

2019-03-13 22:49:19 UTC  

if it is dictated by man or society then there is no such thing as being moral

2019-03-13 22:49:30 UTC  

why not

2019-03-13 22:49:30 UTC  

They dont have the capacity to think about them, obviously

2019-03-13 22:49:37 UTC  

For instance

2019-03-13 22:49:41 UTC  

morality need not come from some absolute power

2019-03-13 22:49:46 UTC  

it must

2019-03-13 22:49:48 UTC  

if one monkey in a group is hoarding food from the others

2019-03-13 22:49:49 UTC  

why

2019-03-13 22:49:51 UTC  

morals need only be believed

2019-03-13 22:49:53 UTC  

to be true

2019-03-13 22:49:56 UTC  

the others in the group punish him

2019-03-13 22:49:59 UTC  

a higher power isnt necessary

2019-03-13 22:50:06 UTC  

Monkeys have no concept of a higher power

2019-03-13 22:50:13 UTC  

What if the monkeys believe in a higher power?

2019-03-13 22:50:14 UTC  

🤔

2019-03-13 22:50:19 UTC  

if something needs only believed to be true then what do you think of transgender people

2019-03-13 22:50:34 UTC  

gender is a social construct
