we inherited that knowledge from Adam

Do you have a non biblical source for that claim?

Again, if morality were objective, you’d be able to prove it. If you’re going to just cite somebody’s interpretation of mythology, you’re making an argument from a subjective source.

Sorry there’s a 2 hour delay on the cannon, receiving pad is having engine trouble.

How do you define cruelty without God being real?

Pretty simply, do you require help knowing the difference between what is cruel and what is not? You might need psychiatric help my guy

How can you know for sure that God is apathetic or ignorant?

Because of the suffering of innocents. Any all powerful creature that allows suffering on the scale we are familiar with either doesn’t know about it, and is thus ignorant, or doesn’t care, and is thus apathetic. Perhaps this creature both knows and cares, in which case it is either powerless to stop it, and therefore not all powerful, or it is a cruel being, and not one by which to set your moral compass.

If there is no basis for objective morality at all,

There isn’t. Morality is a supposition.

we have no grounds to condemn other cultures for actions that go against our culture.

This relies on a number of assumptions which are mostly wrong. Am I condemning an entire culture or the actions of a few people? Do the people of that culture think this is a good idea? Are there members of that group that condemn this? Are those members represented? Is the practice being condemned harmful?

I would condemn cruelty happening abroad because I believe everyone is made in the image of God, and God’s commandment for all of Humanity was to love one and other. If God isn’t real, then why should I care what happens in other countries, if the only morality I have is based on my white, western culture?

So you require someone else to tell you what is right and what is not? Are you incapable of independent thought? Are you devoid of compassion and empathy?

An empathetic person would abhor the suffering of others without divine intervention.

Should God appear to you and demand you sacrifice your eldest son, would you begin sharpening your knife?

If there is no God, humans are just lumps of cells anyway, not too far removed from plants and animals.

We are not removed greatly from animals no. We are animals. We’re pretty far removed from plants though.

So why would it be my business what is going on abroad

Empathy my guy. I was kind of kidding before but now I’m actually concerned you lack basic emotional skills that are natural and innate to most people. That’s definitionally psychopathy, you might want to look in to that.

Swamp monsters from the Swamp Planet find questions about their horrifying egg sacks to be very personal.

The US doesn’t recognize the ICC’s authority and so does not participate, and he’s currently being held in the Hague. I’m not sure there’s much Trump could do if he wanted to

I dunno man, I went through Yellowstone well before people had phones with them, and even people without cameras did this crap.

I saw more than one person have to get yanked back from approaching a moose protecting her calf. I saw people trudge in to the bush to spot a fucking black bear.

You could tell if some form of wildlife had been spotted as you drove around because there would be lines of cars parked and people standing around gawking.

Hey wait a minute.

It’s not Tuesday

Aha but now it’s legal for anyone to do it.

“I don’t like how he put a gun to my kid’s head, but I do like how he puts guns to the heads of other children.”

A shocking number of people are really happy about his immigration policy.

If guns are people, and we’re allowed to own guns…

Slavery is legal again folks!

Fun fact, Eric Garner was killed for illegally selling cigarettes. He was selling loosies outside of drug stores and owners had repeatedly complained about him doing that.

Ok. I’m stretching the definition of fun here. And, to be clear, I also don’t think there will be a huge black market for cigarettes with this law, just that there already is one, kind of.

Curious George Prevents the Fall of Democracy

No. Your past and future do not change. You exist on a single temporal line going infinitely forward.

Ok.

God isn’t real. If a being of infinite power does exist, it is apathetic, ignorant, or cruel.

If the source of your objective morality is a fairy tale, you have no basis for claiming your morality is objective, let alone accurate.

Can confirm. I heard it from a user who heard it from another guy who said he saw it online.

Just got back…

Guys what the fuck?

HOW IS IT JUST LIKE IT WAS?!

I’m going to respond to this, you’ll know I’ve successfully traveled back in time if when you’re reading this, the allies WIN world war 2 and Hitler survives until at least 1945.

Objective morality isn’t real. If it were, you’d be able to prove it.

And it’s difficult to argue, coming from a deeply red area of the US that I’m coming from a culture that vilifies the death penalty.

The closest you’ll ever get to an objective moral truth is that you’re free to believe any fucking thing you want, but your rights stop at you. Imposing your beliefs on another living being is supremacy.

I dunno, he would mop the floor with Bloomberg. And he did beat a handful of white men in primaries, though I can see why we’d discount primary victories for obvious reasons
