Trump never goes to church and never associates with religious people unless it's for partisan political advantage.
You judge people by their actions, not their words, just like I do.
You call Trump a fascist even though he has never called himself that.
You really are as morally repugnant as a Bible Thumper. You think morality comes from a giant invisible man in the sky. You don't actually know that hitting an old lady is bad, but God told you it was so it must be.
That's pathetic and sick.
Yet you sit in judgement of people who don't need a sky-daddy to tell them punching old ladies is bad.
Wow. I'm GLAD to be judged by scuzz like you.
Well, at least Trump didn't need to consult Google AI like Cypress always does! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
LOL. I've heard of Sophoclese and read Sophoclese. I'm so sorry you think you are the only person with an education.
Perhaps if you were actually a fraction as smart as you think you are you'd realize you aren't always the smartest man in the room.
But if it makes you feel "superior" then by all means. Have at it little one.
ftfy. Nothing of what you wrote explains why assaulting people and stealing their property is objectively bad or evil - independent of opinion or cultural convention.You really are as morally repugnant as a Bible Thumper!!
The Viking, Mongol, and Hun societies felt like they benefited greatly from taking the resources of strangers. A 'might makes right' cultural ethos has been practiced by human societies far more frequently than a charitable universal-love ethos.
What you're doing is trying to smuggle in a religious ethos to your personal zeitgeist.
It would be far more honest to say you are a moral relativist. There's nothing inherently wrong with admitting that. Lots of people believe in moral relativism.
ftfy. I have a lasting interest in the ancient Greeks and know quite a lot about them. I did the hard work of reading books and articles and listening to lecture series about classical Greece. That shouldn't make you angry.I'm so fucking angry that you mentioned Sophocles and the great playwrights of Greek tragedy! It's inconceivable you knew them unless you googled them!
But even a well read college graduate should be basically aware of the seminal playwrights of Greek tragedy. It's part of the West's educated lexicon.
Stop "fixing" my posts, clown.
I already explained it to you such that a brain damaged child could understand. Maybe you need to hit up Google AI to explain evolution of social animals to you.
Does your invisible sky daddy tell you that being willfully ignorant is a "virtue"? You sure do seem to be doing that.
Ohjesus....someone got pissed that others have read Greek plays. OMG. OMG. CYPRESS MAY NOT BE A GOD!
Jeez Dr. Google, Give it a rest.
ftfy. You're the one who got agitated and belligerent when I mentioned the seminal Greek playwrights. And I wasn't even talking to you.Who the fuck is Aeschylus and Euripides? Give it a rest!
I was explaining to Yakuda that the Bible may not be history's greatest literature about the human condition. An argument can be made for Shakespeare, Aeschylus, or Sophocles.
ftfy. You are literally the only poster on this board who would have gotten agitated that I mentioned the seminal Greek playwrights when I was specifically discussing literature with another poster.Your level of knowledge about history and religion fucking pisses me off!
Rather than stewing in resentment about my posts, you too can wean yourself off Google search, and commit yourself to the hard work of reading books and listening to audio lectures.
When the Commandments read “Thou shalt not kill, steal, lie,” etc. they merely mean you don’t do it within the tribe.
Man figured out long ago, way before commandments, that to maintain order and cohesion within the tribe, certain behaviors were frowned upon. Lying, stealing and killing were among those.
Because you had to GOOGLE IT. And all you do is blast people for googling.
You need proof you google?
And here we go....you can click on any one of them to see the full context. You frantically google more than I eat hot food.
People like Cypress can ONLY understand what is good or bad when someone in authority TELLS them. Truly sad and kinda sick. I feel sorry for people like that.
HEy! @Cypress I know you are OBSESSED with "Reaction Scores" (want proof? Here you go:
I have just recently figured out your buddy Doc Dutch is busy marking "negative" reactions to every one of my posts. That lowers my reaction score. So maybe I can use Doc's approach to lower YOURS.
Would you like that? I can see to it that you wind up with a very low score. I'm dedicated to my projects.
Let me know.

ftfy. You're literally the only person in the history of JPP to butt into the conversation of two other posters and get agitated because one of them mentioned the Greek playwrights.
ftfy. Not only that, but you plagiarize without citation.I frantically google more than I eat hot food.
I have never said I don't ever use Google for source citations. Out of my 70k posts, you found 15 examples, and they are almost always because I'm providing an independent unbiased source to posters who won't believe what I state, or to kick off a thread topic with an independent description of the subject.
Read the sermon on the mount. Jesus reinterpreted and expanded Torah to include a prohibition on hating or abusing even enemies or rivals.
Almost nobody on this board practices the Golden Rule. You can't be on this board for 30 minutes without being cussed at, demeaned, insulted.
That obviously means the Golden rule does not come naturally or easily to humans.
Adultery, theft, lying are routine in all human societies. It is only curbed by law enforcement or social sanction.
The distinction is that our conscience frequently tells us what we ought to do, but we choose to do what make us happy or feel good instead.

Why is punching an old lady in the face bad?
