Thats true. however, im shure some demon is responsible for most of the worlds wrong doings in your opinion. i guess i should have made myself clear, when i spoke of morality.
I think sociatys determine morality. (i forgot i was taliking to aspies :wink: )

and really. i live by what I feel is right, :pig:


Nope, I don't consider "some demon" to be responsible for the world's wrongdoings, I consider people to be individually responsible for those actions that they choose to do. Societies do set moral codes within their laws, however not all laws are morally right by a long shot. It's similar, in America at least, to the time of the Judges in which everyone does what's right in their own eyes.

What? Is a creationist supposed to be absolutely wrong about everything according to some definition with Kent Hovind's picture as an illustration? Are you being serious or joking? Thanks? I suppose? :huh: :tired: :scratch: :salut: :alien:

What, as opposed to Aristarchus of Samos as some type of an insult?

Aristotelian first cause philosophy is what got us into this mess.

You'd be wrong on a couple of counts. Firstly, the Bible, Old Testament including Genesis that is, was around prior to Aristotle. Secondly, mess? You mean that not all people being a bunch of atheistic misotheists grumbling about how they hate someone that they consider to be fictional?

well instead of grumbaling, I think most scientist would say that the sumerians where infact the first civilization. Wich, as scholers would say most peoples developed, there myths.

the creation of man
the flood story
etc.

the hebrew god, is nothing more than something we'd improve upon today. coke bottles is a great example. well now, they arent glass? are they but plastic.

thats a improvision.

its no less different, with religion. one guy borrows anothers guys, sh-t

Show me anyone who seriously considers themselves to be wrong. You may certainly find people who believe they have done something wrong or have thought wrong in the past, but I doubt you can find anyone who considers their present thoughts to be wrong presently.


Bait, debait and rebait topic

I have been known to be wrong about many things (especially according to my children :P )

I could choose to be wrong (not now, of course) and adopt such a position, then debate. I could argue against my own position, as in a thread AG started recently.

My present thoughts are wrong :twisted: but I will not let you know what they are!! :lol:

You know, in my humanities textbook it made one interesting mention saying that the ubiquity of a record of a flood necessitates the acceptance of a crap theory of Jung's about a "universal consciousness of the human psyche" in order to explain it away.
