So it's not difficult to say that it was founded on the moral basis of Christianity.
yeah religion needs to be controlled and regulated.
Because what is moral to society, is what society primarily sees as moral.
I do not think some words that were added to your paper bills in the 50's make it entirely obvious that what you're saying is somehow true <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
And when society is primarily Christian, then it's logical to say it was.
He's right you know
@Mal you mean the 17th century?
except the moral values you call christian did not suddenly pop into existence with the advent of christianity <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
"in God we trust" was added in the 1950s
16th century, I believe.
the pennies were earlier
by the english?
or cents
But you can feel free to argue with my point.
It should be fun to hear that response.
so it suddenly popped into existence with the Jews, I see
Well, the Jews and the Greeks, but yes
They both kind of invented distributed rule/democracy
and before that, there was only anarchy, people killed eachother, and did everything that the jewish god magically prevented when people started worshipping him alone, instead of the others that were worshipped alongside him?
no societies that saw the benefit of not murdering eachother
Before you move on.
No, it was mostly tyrants and warlords/ central kings
At the time Europe was still quite (hugely) Christian. So it's not difficult to say that it was founded on the moral basis of Christianity. Because what is moral to society, is what society primarily sees as moral.
To repost.
Ah yes, and none of them instituted laws and regulations against murdering people indiscriminately, for example?
why would they do such a thing, if there was no god to tell them it was the right thing to do?
@Mal Are you going to keep being a snarky bitch, or do you actually want to have a discussion?
I told you it would come off as condescending before we began <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
I also told you I didn't have time for it, and to look it up for yourself if you cared
oh, okay, I didn't realize you were 12
nice meme
'lol herp derp, I'm such a jerk because of my intellect'.
I like how my point is being ignored.
Because it's too difficult to argue.
I'm not even Christian.
@Maw We're discussing the origins of Christian morality, which pre-date christianity in Europe. It goes back to Judaism and Hellenism as well. I'm not ignoring you
I'm sorry, but I focused on one person @Maw, sorry if you felt like you were being ignored
the origins of morality
It's all good, I figured this was about America's founding, though?
