Morals are anything that is universally accepted. Things such as
Don't steal, don't lie, don't cheat, don't seek to do harm to others. VERY simple. Unfortunately religions particularly Christianity have taken a simple concept and perverted it to encompass engaging in homosexual acts, being openly sexual (slut), and anything that falls outside of what they want people to accept or do.

I think it's a ridiculous notion.

What you are saying is if society were to drop the pretense everyone will just be sweet and loving, a regular paradise. What evidence do you have to support this? Are you offering opinion or argument?

There was a brief mention earlier. Someone felt that had some limited evidence for this, the blissful life of indigenous people.

We have fine individuals such as Marc2b who assume that I have no capacity to influence future public policy. If people who smoke marijuana for example were upright, why would anyone object? Christianity objects because Christianity is delusional?

I am for example in favor of universal healthcare. There is an asymmetry between the two camps. Liberalism is more dangerous to the soul. I am inclined to vote against universal healthcare not because I am opposed to it, but because I am opposed to the liberals.

What the atheists argue in an attempt to win converts is to try to reason with say Christians and explain to them that what they believe doesn't make complete sense. The truth and the Truth are not separate, they overlap, but not completely. Why should anyone believe this?

quote:

John 18:36 http://biblehub.com/nasb/john/18.htm

Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."


In the film IQ Catherine accuses Ed of being a liar. They tumble in the grass. She kisses Ed, then bites his lip and slaps him while Ike looks on dumbfounded much like Pontius Pilate. Why? Because Catherine saw the truth as the world sees it. Einstein on the other hand saw the world as God sees it. She had yet to embrace the Truth.

Why this film is capable of being used as an illustration of what I am discussing is unknown to me.

Status: offline 		What is my take on Genesis 3:15? I go along with the Church's interpretation that it is a Prophecy concerning Mary and is consistent with what Jesus said. The head is the Truth with a capital T and the foot is the truth with a lower case t. Satan attacks as the atheists do by pointing out that the Word of God is not fully consistent with the truth of this world.
