Nancy Allen`` Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 For you that may be true. For those that are concerned with morality and moral behavior, the distinction might be an important one. So I'm immoral now. You didn't answer the question. I didn't give you the answer you wanted to hear, that religion promotes killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Rider Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 So I'm immoral now. no, you're just blatantly dodging the entire point of this thread and his questions. Which both were related to if things like moral relativism are right or if moral objectivism exists. I didn't give you the answer you wanted to hear, that religion promotes killing. he was asking if the "good book" in question had more passages saying killing is right vs passages saying killing is wrong, does that mean killing is OK(or more important than not killing)? Or does it leave it open to interpretation and people deciding for themselves which they want to follow? (which nicely goes back to my moral majoratism) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Allen`` Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Like I said I don't lose any sleep over it. It also says that we are to follow the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 So I'm immoral now. The wording makes this sound like a question, but the punctuation would suggest that it's a statement. Which of these would you prefer we assume? I didn't give you the answer you wanted to hear, that religion promotes killing. No, you really didn't answer the question: "if we found the commandment to kill was more prevalent than the commandment not to kill, we could then determine that killing would be more correct than not killing, right?" If the answer is yes, then we can all finally admit that the bible promotes killing and move on to discussing what that means. If the answer is no, then your previous argument falls apart and we are left to contemplate the reality that god really does hate homosexuals. It really is a yes or no question, Nancy. I don't mind if you expand a little to offer your reasoning, but a simple yes or no will suffice. (which nicely goes back to my moral majoratism)Indeed, it would seem that you and Nancy are both very much on the same page as to how our morals should be determined: by tally. Like I said I don't lose any sleep over it.Good. Sleep is important. It also says that we are to follow the law. Nancy: It also says that we are to follow the law. Achilles: Which law? Nancy: The laws of the bible. Achilles: Which laws of the bible? Nancy: The ones I like. Achilles: Gotcha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Okay kids, I'm shutting this thread down for now following the little flamefest that recently occurred between Nancy and Web Rider. The both of you need to calm down and stop baiting each other. Nancy, consider this your final warning. The next time you step out of line here in Kavar's, I am banning you from this forum. If you have questions, you know how to get in contact with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
