i am not talking about christianity or any other brand of religion. let me see if i get you right you believe that "religion" has no place in ethics or morality?
As an agnostic, I do accept the theories of god(s) - I just want proof before I would ever believe - I am still a person with good moral, according to the standards of society ...........
A lot of ethics and moral have a foundation in religion - but forinstance in Denmark , they do not need religion anymore, to pass laws that actually have very high ethics and moral ............
well, you are no different that every other person on the planet. frankly i could care less if there is a god. my real concern is what does this mean for society?
But if things DO change for the better , then what .... And what is better .... I know 2 homosexuals at my work - I do respect them as humans ...... There are even christian priests that are paedophiles .......
Human vices will allways be there - Muhammed with his child wife - I even think someone in the bible had sex with his daughter (he did not know it when it happened-only later) ....
this is the second time you have mentioned christianity. i am not talking about a specific brand of religion. are you biased about christianity? where do these "strong morals and ethics" of denmark come from?
I was only mentioning examples, one of them christian .... Some of them come from religion, some of them are cultural from the society , some even come from the ideas of socialism (political).........
socialism is a hybrid between communism and capitalism .... Communism : plan economy -the government splitting the surplus out to the people (did not work in USSR) Capitalism: free market economy (demand and supply) - keep the money yourself if you make some...... Socialism : free market economy (big surplus) - government use the big surplus to help the people of the society .... Nobody is really poor, hardly anyone really rich - most people are however happy ............
i really don't know what to say. from what i can tell your pretty much like the rest of us and just different enough to make it interesting.
mankind has been arguing the existence of "god" since the begining of time. i doubt if insane can prove or disprove the existence of "god" with some subtle piece of logic.
Leopold99 , actually his logic do sound good - but then again, I am mostly into philosophy not religion ........ However I did notice one thing - after heavymetal said this might be evidence of god not existing - then you called Lord Insane for insane .... He called you "Leo" all the time, not "old99" , which is the last of Leopold99 ... Do you hate and despise Lord Insane now, that he has opened his mouth and has been honest with you ???
Well OK - but then please do not call God lord as well ........... Whom will you call Lord - nobody I guess ????
Ok - perhaps I was a bit harsh .... But don´t stab Lord Insane in the back, just because he is honest with you ...... nobody deserves that ........
