Boss
Take a Memo:
Again, you go immediately to the tactic of calling me creepy because you're losing badly. There isn't anything about human ethics and morality supported by natural selection. In fact, natural selection is contrary to the notion of ethical morality.Talking about yourself in third-person is kinda creepy.No. Boss believes that ethics, morality AND religion are all manifest from our unique spirituality. You again show a view where generalizations are applied with broad strokes. People are different, things happen in degrees. Ethics and morality are ever-changing and vary from culture to culture.Let's turn this argument into a simple logic test based on all his posts:
Boss argues that ethics and morality are due to religion.
Boss does not believe in a religion.
Therefore Boss has no ethics or morality...
You don't have all the answers, you don't have any answers. You just want to pontificate your opinion and silence disagreement. I'm not cooperating and that's frustrating you.
This is another thing I find typical of bigots, they lack the ability to debate their ideas. It always boils down to, believe as I do or shut up. When you run across people like me, you have to marginalize us by calling us trolls or attempt to humiliate and intimidate.
None of that works on me because I know your tactics.
Ethics and morality are part of our innate nature, thanks to evolution. Religion just tries to corrupt that nature, and make us do the opposite. Like I said before, anybody who violates their innate ethics or morality, is either insane, or following a religion. Which one are you?
I know I don't have all the answers. Nobody does. But I can rule out some things, to make it a little bit easier. And one of those things is to not follow a religion, at least not one of the OT religions. Buddhism is actually kinda good, but that's not what this thread is about.
And lastly, I have debated my ideas. You've been trolling them, with no reason other than to argue. You haven't brought anything to the table, except to argue my semantics. So yes, you are a troll, and I gave you many outs. You are not special in this thread, as you believe you are. You began with the insults. You have to accept your fate when people don't back down to your insults.
You cannot bully us boss-man. You're only hurting your reputation, whatever of that is left in your circles...
This isn't an attack on your semantics, it's a rebuttal to your argument. Human ethics and morality come from our spiritual connection. It doesn't come from nature... else you'd have lions forming 'Save the Gazelles' organizations and such. Nature doesn't abide by human ethics and morality. This is one of the main things that distinguish us from all other species.
I know you might have convinced yourself of something else but you're not presenting a coherent argument for it. All you seem to have is an opinion and an arsenal of insults. That, and a procession of clowns who hate religion as much as you.
