But I don't think it's useful
The conclusion of that worldview is one I turned away from, as it is most nihilistic and excusatory of those acts which harbor no empathy for other members of our species. It's not a good framework to begin with.
Of course it's not useful.
Isn't theology the study of old Virgin men and child molsters views about fictional events
Seems like a meme to me
The ultimate conclusion is one that was with you all along, and that is to choose your path, what you value, and I believe most of us inherently wish for what we'd define as good, focusing with an empathy for your fellow man anyway.
And no, @NotDarkMagician, I already outlined the summation previously.
I used to be nihilistic.
Now I'm not.
Objectivism may draw you away from nihilism, if you find you've the time, @NotDarkMagician.
I didn't become a believer in the process though. But I see religion as a more positive force than I used to.
Indeed.
anyone here decent with reading japanese?
I agree that one does not need to be religious to be moral, but virtually every moral system has been reinforced or built by religion in a self-supporting cycle.
There are no historic atheist societies.
So those that say they don't need religion to be moral still derive their morality from something a religion also backs (or possibly counter-religious morality).
Atheism is not an affirmative belief.
uh

May I introduce you to Yua Wong? She's lovely.
I suppose it's a question of what Hua is running from, in that case, @Samer.
What?
elaborate
It simply means Hua is running, or Hua ran from something, @Samer. There's no further context, however.
No.
uhuh
"England was settled by a few other Northern Europeans Groups so you shouldn't worry about millions of Africans flooding in, it's exactly the same! "
from the BBC btw
She has an incredible ability called "bullshit detecting"
Hence her name Yua Wong
Huns did not settle in Britain.
Beyond possibly a few individuals.
Certainly not enough to impact the genetic make up of Britain.
Angles and Saxons were basically the same thing.
NORMANS WERE NOT FRENCH!!
"ah yes, dont you know mr.racist? a few dozen Blacks served in Roman England 2000 years ago, so why are you so angry that tends of millions of Blacks are flooding in now? Blacks have always been British! "
I corrected my statement to allow for moral systems orchestrated in counter-religious beliefs @ETBrooD, but atheism is merely a rejection of gods.
It has no moral imperative.
