From Reddit
As a community with an interest in providing the best resources to its members, the following wiki links are provided as historical reference until we can establish our own.
I'm going to add
to the shortcuts, to save more time.
Ok, i was wrong here, you didn't dodge entirely, you acknowledged intent as a thing here and then completely ignored it in your following replies.
Again, ignoring that there are people that believe what they are doing is just and moral.
Should’ve double checked! But they weren’t too stupid to get it, just intellectually lazy and overall uncaring, and disregarding that responsibility and then committing atrocities is enough to land you in Hell, especially if you never repent. Will the leaders have a harsher sentence? Definitely.
I already told you why, i don't think there is a interesting conversation about comparative viewpoints to be had with someone who uses "because some things just are" or "because god said so" as actual arguments.
There's generally no room for any other viewpoint with such a person, it'd just be wasted breath.
Or, more succinctly, There's no good way to discuss reason with someone who isn't using it.
Unfounded assumptions.
Especially seeing as you claimed, immediately before this, that i haven’t given any of my own viewpoints.
Nobody was aksing you to, all i said was that snot all interpretations match your own.
There is a whole thread of examples here, find one yourself.
I believe in the scientific theory of the effects of what we call gravity, until something else comes up to change that belief.
Your belief is faith because there is no proof.
I have no problem with faith, as long as it's not imposed upon others.
Agreed.
But as you've repeatedly demonstrated, you refuse to (or simply can't) acknowledge that there are people who do those things because they think it is right to do so.
wow , that really is a timesaver.
