If "man is the measure of all things" we're pretty much fucked...

[Blackrook]

...because man is a very fucked up creature, as proven by the man-made horrible wars and genocides of the 20th century and the man-made terrorism and mass shootings of the 21st century.

 

[mdk]

Cheery.

 

[Blackrook]

If the people of the world were modeling themselves after Christ for the last 100 years we wouldn't have had so many people killed in wars, genocide, and abortion.

Man, like most animals has a very ugly side and also a very beautiful side.

 

[Compost]

Maybe Protagoras was wrong.

See your president, yeah, you are.

Man, like most animals has a very ugly side and also a very beautiful side.

But unlike other animals, man knows the difference between right and wrong.

In our society we reward and celebrate the ugly.

The "successful" know which society rewards.

How are you imagining the world would be today without Christ, without people trying to live up to Christian ideals?

Just like it is. And really now, who is trying?

sometimes we celebrate the ugly but all in all I think we’ve been evolving towards the good... with exception to our current POTUS of course.

You just know bad people or people who do not care?

 

[The Irish Ram]

Some times I think if I was God, I'd have pulled the plug on this whole mankind/children thing long ago.
But then I see something like this and the love brings tears to my eyes. God bless a kind heart:

1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us

Right=success in business

So how are you gonna get communists, atheists, muzzies and lefties to do that?

You really believe that nonsense? An animal's soul is good. Man, not so much.

I’d make the argument that throughout history more religious people have killed in the name of their God than non believers.

you don’t need to model yourself after anything to live a good life and know the difference between right and wrong. Virtues like empathy and the golden rule can be taught without a religious connection

Maybe Protagoras was wrong.

Perhaps Protagoras was just a shallow sophist, preferring words to wisdom. He would be comfortable on this board. Nice reference, though.
