The Official God & Religion Thread

I'd be quite content to agree with one, if any were to exist.

They do, you just don't want to acknowledge that fact.

Morality means doing what is right, no matter what you are told. Religion means doing what you are told no matter what is right.

Who determines what is right or wrong? Because Stalins or Hitlers morality of right and wrong is largely different than that of Islams prophet Muhammad or that of boxingscenes poster squealpiggy.

There is nothing 'logical' about faith. It is the belief in things unseen. One CAN have an intelligent debate on faith and God, but not a logical one.

Of course it isn't to any staunch Atheist. No big surprise there.

Society determines what's right and wrong which is why it was considered right among the Inca to practise human sacrifice and why is was considered wrong by the Nazis to be Jewish. There is no such thing as an objective morality, but you can live by an ethical code of the golden rule" Treat other people like you would want to be treated. That's it.

And before you attribute that to Jesus it predates him by centuries.

The Golden Rule was put into writing centuries before Jesus put on his first pair of sandals. Reciprocity of course had been around for a long time prior to that.

From poster GranTorino, this needs a lot more views.

Wow, you must feel totally empowered now by showing this vid Cupocity. Do you feel better about yourself? The funny thing is when disbelieving people are faced with a life changing event such as an impending death whether for them or a loved one, they don't pray to the famous "Flying Spaghetti Monster" for help and guidance.
