Have you ever sanctioned slavery?
Committed or ordered genocide?
Let people you love suffer for not loving you back?

So what are you basing your morality on?
@hippyjoe1955

Well-being. Essentially what i wouldn't want for myself or my loved ones can usually be grouped under things that are not for the well-being. For example, things like being enslaved are contrary to a person's well-being.
So is being murdered along with everyone else.

@Pikachu So you are basing it on the teachings of Jesus (Yahweh) and not mohammed.
@hippyjoe1955

Nope. Neither.

@Pikachu Snicker. You don't even know where you sense of morality comes from.
@hippyjoe1955 It's not God that is for sure.

@canusernamebemyusername Thanks for showing your stupidity. We really didn't need confirmation of you being an idiot but you provided all the proof we need.
@hippyjoe1955

A bit early to be getting shitty, isn't it joe?😉

Maybe your morality comes from your religion. Mine doesn't.
Obviously these general concepts of morality far predate the bible so i don;t know what grounds you could reasonably claim them for your god.
Sorry, i know i kind of threw a wrench in your gears because you weren't expecting well-being to be my answer.

So let's just move on past the petty sniping and carry on with the discussion at hand.
@Pikachu To him there is no predates the bible. It has been being written all the way from Adam 6000 years ago.

@Pikachu Ha ha you are so silly. I bet you think that everyone can understand English if only you speak it slowly and loudly enough.
@hippyjoe1955 You could have done so much better than that. You could have thought I was meaning he is not good like God and that his morals aren't godly. But no you had to hurl insults.

@canusernamebemyusername You and the other mental midget stand bestride the backs of giants and claim "We are much loftier than they".

@Pikachu Not forgetting that most religions and non-religious societies have similar moral standards.
@hippyjoe1955 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.

....you feeling ok, buddy? Maybe had a bit to drink? The barbs are getting a little scattered...

So let's try this again.
My sense of morality comes from a principle of well-being.
I have not drawn this from christianity and you'll be forced to agree that christianity is far from the only source for similar moral codes.

Now then. Are you interested in discussing this subject or did i derail you with my answer of well-being? Do you need time to recuperate before you can offer a coherent response?

What do you expect from him? It's the best argument he can put forward. In fact, it's about the only argument he ever puts forward.

Do you really think Hippyjoe could have done better? I admire your optimism but I think it's misplaced.
@suzie1960 Well I was expecting him to twist his mind to fit his view but he didn't do it😭
suzie1960 · 61-69, F
@canusernamebemyusername I doubt it could be twisted much more.
@suzie1960 He's a pretzel :P
@suzie1960


Well that's more or less true.
I've noticed the length of time he takes to become shitty without actually presenting any arguments is inversely correlated to how confident he is about his position.
