Morality is all in your mind.

Back to screaming at me in bolded all caps?

No. I just bolded it because you never answer the question. I can only assume it is because you know you've lost the entire debate long ago.

@Cypress: you seem to pay lip service to Jesus. Why do you think he was a good moral teacher? And why do you think some of his teachings were pure bullshit?

Quit being a pussy.

If you want to believe Jesus of Nazareth was a supporter of kidnapping and enslaving humans, that's your choice.

 

[Cypress]

you know you've lost the entire debate long ago.

I told you multiple times how I arrive at these conclusions, but if you want to pat yourself on the back and spike the football for supposedly shredding all your interlocutors, that's your choice

Why do you seem to hold the authors of the Pauline Epistles in such low esteem? Do you not think they would have known about absolute moral truth?

So why do you treat so many of Jesus teachings with disdain if he was a source of absolute right and wrong in his teachings?

 

[Daylight63]

I told you multiple times how I arrive at these conclusions,

"Natural Law"? That's not very convincing.

Personally if someone can't tell me an actual physical reason why murder is wrong I get somewhat uncomfortable. I think it is better if someone actually knows why a moral rule exists.

 

[Yakuda]

true.
there is no authority.
there is only intelligence.

morality is intelligent.

Morality suggests the presence of a mind. Not quite the same as intelligence

 

[Diogenes]

If all this is true then there is no legitimate authority to tell people what they can and cannot do.

like we discussed already, everyone picks and chooses.

and if you deny that, you fail the test all together.

 

[Daylight63]

Of course. But those who would tell others how great Christian morality is vs atheist morality often show neither.

One cannot expend 15 pages of telling everyone about the importance of the moral teachings of Jesus only to turn around in just about every other post and mock Jesus' teachings.

 

[Truth Detector]

Go away. Your version of "discussion" is not valid here.

Take your own advice halfwit.

 

[Truth Detector]

Sure it does. What things do you consider to be the most immoral?

How does science have anything to do with morality? I can wait. What a stupid statement.

 

[Truth Detector]

What moral conclusion?

Why you cannot argue with dishonest leftist morons.

Morality is predicated on instinctual drives which are evolutionarily developed to provide safety in a social network.

So, you think that morality is inherent and not learned? How did you arrive at the patently stupid uneducated conclusion?

Humans have an added dimension in having an intellect that is capable of envisioning alternative outcomes based on choices, as such we have the added ability to review our choices.

What a laughable pile of moronic word salad. Humans are the only animals that have morals. All other life on earth does not.

Morality isn't a choice. Dumb.

Ummmm, sorry Einstein, but if you actually were to READ THE THREAD you would see this point has been discussed ad nauseam.

So let me get this straight: you are the smartest person on here yet you can't read? Yikes.

Do you think you have a moral center? Interesting conjecture.

Because immoral behaviors are directly related to the conscious experience of living creatures. Abuse, sexual abuse, slavery, etc are immoral, scientifically speaking, because of the experiences of those being abused/enslaved. It would be immoral to enslave a dead person because there would be no way for them to experience the negative aspects of slavery.

 

[Truth Detector]

There is nothing scientific or rational about risking your life and risking financial ruin to save thousands of strangers from the Nazis.

Everyone from evolutionary biologists to economists would call that an irrational act.

....and then there are others that would call that a MORAL act of unselfishness.

people who can't define it jabber on and on about unrelated issues.
