Yep. You clearly have no right to judge anyone else's moral standards.

I only imagine Zeus waking up after a few thousand years and coming back to see if his faithful deserve reward...

We use to have a Jedi here.

Wouldn't a lot of people be surprised to find zoroaster at the end of it all

I would maintain my morals, ethics and virtues just the same. I would reevaluate my belief system in light of the new evidence, and decide based on which God...if I were willing to change to their notions.

And so I can not accept your morals and values as a result. Pretty simple.

Much better said than I was getting to 😀

You literally claim that kids who mock someone deserves mauled by bears...that's sick.

It's been posited that the Christian God is real, he produced morality, and that morality is rigid. God commiting evil can't happen. But mauling kids is evil, so the rest falls under suspicion as well.

A moral code that allows for the mauling of kids for making fun of someone is immoral at it's core. Even if they wished that person harm or death...mauling is extreme. Period.

Dan always acts surprised to learn that I don't support abortion. And I am a republican. Like these are exclusive to christians. His response is we are immoral and so cannot question the morality of others...

Probably correct. I was answering Dan...something I should have known better to do, in retrospect, when he said we just don't like the message. True enough, I don't like the message that endorses so much evil. I don't like lots of different mythologies any better, though. Lots of them paint their deities as pretty evil characters, or at least flawed. But alas, you are right. It was off topic. Apologies.

It's a given I believe for most that killing those innocent of a crime or killing kids is morally wrong. Yet Christianity has tricked countless into believing 2+2=5, or that this obviously immoral act is good. God sends two bears to kill 42 kids because one called his guy bald. 41 of them didn't do anything... but still got the death penalty for the one who did. That's immoral.

When I was pagan, specifically druid, the best resources to follow for me were histories. The others were by and large hokey mumbo jumbo.

Nope. Because God is fictional and provides nothing. Science provides the internet.

worse. They won't bother, assuming I am simply a damned soul who is beyond redemption and they will somehow use this to justify their beliefs.

The same god who sent two bears to kill 42 kids in a town because one said, 'go up bald head''. One...the other 41 did nothing and got mauled anyway. At least according to mythology.

I agree that the Bible has its points. That's never been a thing I denied. I have only denied that it's a history book. And that ALL of it is good.

I don't know for every religious person, but many i have met and spoken with seem to use religion to abdicate responsibility in one way or another. They say, 'god has a plan'. If true, who could possibly go against such a beings will? Or the devil made me do it...i mean, really? Very few religious people I've spoken to accept their actions as truly theirs. This isnt exclusive to christians, btw, or even monotheists.

In thorough self examination and knowledge I have come to a point where right is easily decided and acted upon...which of course means it's time to reexamine it all😁

RabbiO's advice was wise, indeed...though i come to accept it belatedly.

Did you know that the terms of service you agree to by using the forum state you should debate the post, not attack the poster?

I have never prescribed to the authority fallacy.
