2018-10-26 13:22:04 UTC  

Depends, do you believe that knowledge and understanding are metrics of human virtue?

2018-10-26 13:22:10 UTC  

no

2018-10-26 13:22:20 UTC  

If so, believe in God is good or bad depending on whether or not God exists.

2018-10-26 13:22:29 UTC  

As long as people don't bring religious law or ask for special treatment its fine

2018-10-26 13:22:46 UTC  

Asking for special treatment is something no man should do.

2018-10-26 13:22:48 UTC  

Really? So an utter imbecile is, controlling for all other factors, just as good or valuable a person as a learned genius?

2018-10-26 13:22:53 UTC  

Separate church and state

2018-10-26 13:22:57 UTC  

a humans lived experience and what they're taught from people who inspire them, tends to be the factors that make a person moral/virtuous/good

2018-10-26 13:22:58 UTC  

Isn't being tax-free special treatment

2018-10-26 13:23:03 UTC  

(((State)))

2018-10-26 13:23:06 UTC  

Yup

2018-10-26 13:23:10 UTC  

good != valueable Bookworm

2018-10-26 13:23:22 UTC  

a person can be uneducated, dumb but still be a kind-hearted human being

2018-10-26 13:23:22 UTC  

**who the fuck is tax-free**

2018-10-26 13:23:34 UTC  

a person can be a genius, who spits on people, backstabs them, and knows the greatest secrets

2018-10-26 13:23:34 UTC  

The Church

2018-10-26 13:23:39 UTC  

How are you measuring a human, then, Wol?

2018-10-26 13:23:42 UTC  

Yeah no thank you

2018-10-26 13:23:44 UTC  

Any religious entity can become tax free

2018-10-26 13:23:47 UTC  

Anyways

2018-10-26 13:23:54 UTC  

Scientologist as well

2018-10-26 13:23:57 UTC  

I know that it's that way in the US at least

2018-10-26 13:24:00 UTC  

Imagine a society without taxes. How would it work?

2018-10-26 13:24:00 UTC  

Yes, but we were talking about knowledge and understanding, not the other virtues.

2018-10-26 13:24:12 UTC  

Anarchy

2018-10-26 13:24:14 UTC  

I am the state your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the state your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me, and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

2018-10-26 13:24:19 UTC  

You measure them by how much of themselves they're willing to sacrifice for the good of strangers

2018-10-26 13:24:28 UTC  

I have an idea of a society without taxes and man is it bleak

2018-10-26 13:24:51 UTC  

Well, halfthink is now god. All hail.

2018-10-26 13:24:58 UTC  

and don't go pointing at SJW's, cuz they want to sacrifice other people, for the good of themselves/anotehr group

2018-10-26 13:25:05 UTC  

A societal framework without capital would be pretty ineffectual, yeah.

2018-10-26 13:25:21 UTC  

I only have Saturdays off work so I'll have to make that my Sabbath

2018-10-26 13:25:36 UTC  

The government doesnโ€™t take taxes, so where does it get its resources to function? War. The nation is in a constant cycle of warfare simply to destroy and subjugate in order to collect resources, be it new citizens or general scrap to fuel themselves.

2018-10-26 13:25:42 UTC  

So, self-sacrifice is the primary quality by which you gauge human virtue, Wol? That's certainly interesting.

2018-10-26 13:26:09 UTC  

A societal framework without capital only works if you have replicators ๐Ÿ˜

2018-10-26 13:26:13 UTC  

What other qualities would you define as virtuous I'm just curious

2018-10-26 13:26:21 UTC  

haven't properly thought that through, but it would be what i'd go on for the time being
