- Go to Atheism: Yet Another Misguided Contradiction
RSM, you didn't get it at all
Although you clearly have no idea at all as to what
'contradiction' actually means.
I was using the words 'greed' and 'selfness' in the
one post in a 'tongue in check' manner.
I was making a very valid point that you benefit
from doing what is right for others, so by a certain logic one could be viewed
as being 'greedy' because they are doing what is right and best for
others.
Anyone with half a brain should be able
to figure that one out by the style it was written in. This is only you proving
you have no clue at all as to what you are talking about. You only wish to
attack me as much a possible on the silliest of ideas, just because you CANNOT
prove me wrong on anything I say.
Now I also understand that because your greed is
all focused on making sure you get into Heaven that you completely do not
understand what is actually right and wrong, but instead allow your little book
to tell you what is right and wrong. You obviously don't care that most of what
that book says is not even used by any modern religious group because it is very
much out dated. you are far to self absorbed to understand the big picture and
actually understand just what morals should be. My 'greed' is about enjoying
life to its fullest and to do that I have to help others achieve the same
thing. But since you clearly don't care at all about what others need, you will
never understand this at all.
The basic moral values of our society in the early
1900s was really, really bad. We are talking about the time of prohibition, the
most violent time in American history outside of a war. We are also looking at
a time when many atrocities were committed against 'minorities' and everyone
looked the other way. You see life was NEVER like 'Leave it to Beaver'. I've
talked to my grandparents and others of their generation, and the stories I have
heard make it very clear that we have a much better sense of right and wrong now
days than they did back then. Back then if Uncle Bob was spending time
alone with the little girls in the family, everyone in the family knew about it
but no one did or said anything, because you wouldn't want the neighbors to
think your family is 'bad'. And if your daughter got pregnant when she was
unwed, you had a back ally abortion or you disowned her and shipped her off
because it would be too embarrassing for the family.
Sorry, but if one looks at the actual facts and not
the sad little illusion you and many others like you who are really clueless
about what morals really are, then you see that we are by far much better off
now with our understanding and honesty about right an wrong than the generations
of the past.
