I've been thinking about this all week, so I'll be taking my time to write my thoughts lol
I've always believed that there shouldn't be the need for a god to set a morality or to coerce people to be moral themselves (the old argument that atheists are more virtuous bcz they don't need a skydaddy to be good) but currently seeibg people flaunt how they like to kill kids, the government taking kids away from parents to get them to transition, and a bunch more stuff I don't want to remember before sleeping are convincing me of the opposite
Perhaps, but I'd like to point out that a set of ethics *IS INDEED* being enforced, and coerced, and it *IS* uniform.
That's the weird thing. This entire Progressive, secular culture has been an emergent phenomenon, yet has evolved into an enforceable heterodoxy
So it's not that there's a *lack* of a religion
I'm sure that people COULD be virtuous without a supernatural element. But that's not what emerged from the collective
Yeah in not saying individuals can't be without religion
I think long term though, without an authoritative authority over the cultural heterodoxy, the present culture will eventually purity spiral into a hierarchical battle between groups
Like today
Authoritative authority
Think of driving a car, and taking your hands off the wheel.
Sure, it may go straight for a while, but then it will start to drift a little to one direction, and then get sharper and sharper, eventually flipping
Authoritative, like a collection of works, or a "passing of the torch" kind of position that relays what the heterodox SHOULD be
When you think about it, just the idea that America's constitution has a defined "truth" within it, is probably what has kept most of us on track in the US even without a religious authority.
People can point to it and say "See?? But this says GOD GIVEN RIGHT"
whats with Reggie, former CEO of nintendo of america
he always had this really miserable look in his eyes
The only way I'd see the connection made between the Bill of Rights and a hypothetical right to drive is if Leftists sided with Libertarians in interpreting the 9th Amendment as the "Blank Check" of rights, which I really don't see happening
right to drive?
so are accidents going to go up ten fold
pretty soon there will be nowhere you can run to escape the authoritarians
he seems like a bit of a tool

solution for Gaza is delet israel
Drop a MOAB <:covfefe:440543908846632980>
Drop a MOAB on London
Itβs not English anymore anyway
probably kill more Islamic terrorists by blowing up London than blowing up any city in the middle east
