Life over time without religion

Are you skating away from the term "pure negativity"?

I think of it more as a literary exercise, like Treasure Island or Narnia.

I find it more hit-and-miss than bliss. Some days its hard to see it but if it comes back tomorrow it's true love.

People that tell other people to kill themselves because they disagree with their opinion are evil in your view?

If yes, you're evil.

No. A mind of pure negativity is just that.

 

Telling someone to kill themselves is good advice if they are evil enough to actually glean some twisted pleasure from killing for the fun of it. You may think it's excusable to kill for the fun of it but I don't. If killing to stop evil (an idea, not an entity) is necessary then so be it. Evil can come in the form of words and images and I have seen it in that form. So what I said was "poo poo" to that website because that is the level they're on. I consider them cholchya.

 

But the examples you've given are clearly NOT purely negative.

 

I can think of a few of History's leaders.

 

So give us some examples and we'll test them for the purity of their negativity.

 

And I consider you devoid of logic and mentally unwell.

 

And I consider you ignorant and unfit for intelligent discussion. Penis lover.

The appearance of Hitler's eyes in a few pictures might reveal something evil in his soul.

 

I don't think you have ever FELT love. I'm not claiming you to be cold, but the feeling is beyond comparison. It's fleeting and happens maybe only several times in a lifetime, yet there's no mistaking it. It is total and complete bliss, nothing else matters. Some think sex is the ultimate in human experience, but it's really just a bodily function, having very little importance in comparison.

 

So we're going from "pure negativity" to "might" reveal "something" evil? You're setting the bar for yourself pretty low.

Of course Hitler wasn't "purely negative". He loved his dog. He loved Eva Braun. He loved the German people (at least the ones who were blond and blue-eyed enough).

 

What you're describing sounds more like ecstasy than love.

 

If death were a chemical process you would still be part of nature.

 

Yes. And?

 

when Tao is lost, there is goodness.
When goodness is lost, there is kindness.
When kindness is lost, there is justice.
When justice is lost, there is ritual.
Now ritual is the husk of faith and loyalty, the beginning of confusion.

 

Without religion Humanity would understand sanity.

Humanity would be forced to grow the balance between emotions and reason.

Humanity would have the freedom to reflect on its self.

Our intellect would grow exponentially. At first

 

OK
Then:
Why ain't this true of the atheist I know?

 

Nature is generally alive in some manner.
