LoneWolf16 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Folks need not get their moral or ethical foundation from religion, but, if you'll pardon the expression, they sure as hell can't build a moral or ethical framework on a foundation of science. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No we don't. I wasn't raised in a religious environment and I've got a stronger framework of morals and ethics than damn near every person I know. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't believe you understood my statement, LoveWolf16. I was saying that religion is not imperative for the development of a moral or ethical foundation. I've always thought that you sounded more or less sensible in an environment that lends itself to serious non-sense. *A wink* EDIT: Screw it, as much as I'd like to keep one persona from the other, It's too damned confusing to keep my posts straight. Instead, I'll turn cowboy and start shooting hombres from the hip. Dammit. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :"> Um, yeah, looking back on it, and rereading it... Yes, I misunderstood.

Cantousent Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I tried, Lone, I tried. I actually like Cantousent better. He's nicer. A much better Christian than me. hahahaha Anyhow, 21 pages in all arguing over religion and science. I'd like to say, and I mean it, that I don't have anything against atheists or atheism. I don't agree with it, but it's just not the measure I want to use in judging my friends. I really try, as best I can, to leave judgment to God. Why would anyone want to sit in judgment of other people? How do Judges do it?

metadigital Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 ...We're already going to be trailing in biotechnology if the federal government continues to balk at funding stem cell research, which means that if - and I do mean if - important advances come from such lines of scientific advancement (such as, I don't know, a cure for cancer, or even something more 'mundane' like Alzheimer's), we're going to be well behind the curve and buying our juice from somebody else. I have no problem with people who read the Bible literally, but it does clearly state that faith alone can cure a person of their ailments - that'd be a fun national healthcare policy, huh? ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I read in the latest Scientific American that some researchers have found, in mice, embrionic brain cells in the mothers. This is significant because the embrionic cells have passed over the blood-brain barrier intact (possibly in response to a chemical distress call from the brain, as they have been found as various glial-type cells, as well as macrophages). It is already established that the cells from the natal infant can survive in the mother for up to 27 years. They are now trying to find evidence in humans, by looking for Y chromosomes in mothers' brain tissue. Possible applications may be to just inject stem cells into the blood stream for the "rescue raiders" to lend a pseudopod.

But of course, they wouldn't dare make a song like that against, say, Hinduism. Or maybe Baley would like to quote more Satanic Bible verses? (he probably will thanks to this post) But then again, according to Baley, Satanism has a higher moral platform then Christianity, doesn't it? Amazing the level of tolerance on these boards, I tell you.

Dark Moth Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) Actually Tom Araya is rumoured to be catholic. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But he'd never admit it, would he? Oh no, why ruin his good reputation? @julianw: To an extent, it can be gratifying. The double standards and hypocrisy I see coming from these boards and elsewhere concerning Christianity is just sickening, though. Cripes, it makes me want to vomit. I have yet to attack anybody on this board for being an Atheist. Absolutely sickening. But nobody will admit to there being a double standard. It'd compromise their principles. Right, Gabs? *sigh* But then again: "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness..." I guess it's all good in the end.

Generally there'll be instantaneous moral, ethical, and spiritual assaults on your character the instant you offer a dissenting opinion on the whole god matter. The double standards and hypocrisy exist on both sides of the fence. And when have I attacked anybody for being Christian? :'( I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julianw Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I am perplexed by these silly statements. Do they have any point to them? If you are attacking Christianity for the corruption within the religion, there are far better ways. If you are mocking at the ignorance against Christianity through sarcasm, still there are far better ways. If you are just spamming without a purpose then carry on...
