- Go to CAN ANYONE WORSHIP NOTHING?
kooka_lives - I'm amazed to what extent some people will go to prove an
unprovable point.
I read some of the exchange as it passed by in comments but soon found myself reading the same old nonsense as the dialogue wandered further and further from the issues being discussed. My days of dealing with it, are as you know over. There is no conceivable link between what a person believes and morality. The former is a thought process, the latter has behaviour as its identifier. One must demonstrate immoral behavior before anyone can begin to articulate its causal factors, it cannot work the other way around. It cannot be assumed that an individual is immoral simply because of what they believe. Most people over the age of ten can figure this out but then we run into the occasional person that is so screwed up in the head by their religious beliefs that they are effectively retarded. At least in this area of discussion and especially if they are blinded by their singular agenda, which is in this case, to discredit those who believe differently than they do.
The worshipping nothing "debate" is not a debate, the term is an oxymoron and a poor use of the English language. All contentions I have seen to date attempting to state otherwise meander through tenuous or fractious usage of definitions. Even the "uplifting" argument is ridiculous. To uplift a particular ideal one need only attempt to exemplify that particular ideal. Can your accusers say they are doing this? Maybe if lying, deception, denial and slander are worthy ideals to uplift, then they can say that they indeed practice what they preach. When all is said and done, you are being harassed by someone who does not like your religious opinion with more than a few problems of their own.
