You have yet to explain, why it's a bad thing.

It depends on what you want to discuss?

I couldn't give a shit, is it important to you???

The saddest thing is, you believe that...

That's the Dawkins Delusion, I don't have a god therefore no one else can...

No, I'm saying my god is just as real as your's... What did you want it say?

The thing about a novel is, that only makes sense when it's contemporary.

But you are??? What makes you so special???

Wel obviously Reg, but what did the Romans ever do for us???

Indeed, but it's notable that you haven't accepted my challenge.

We all pick something to believe in, that doesn't mean any of them are more real, it just means that we trust one above the other. what evidence do we have? That I'm happier than you??? Science can't answer that question, all it can do is present a number that might be relative...

You're conflating what was politically expedient then with what is morally acceptable now, that's essentially cancel culture. You also seem to forget a number of thing's, for instance, Jesus had a particularly strong stance on the morality of stoning people, and your own countries founder's thought it was ok to have slaves, and Hitler didn't get his idea of genocide from a bible (as I've explained), and raping little girls has never been a religion specific pursuit. And you have a seriously flawed sense of reality. I challenge you to read the sermon on the mount and present a reasoned argument as to why it's morally unacceptable. You're making the mistake of conflating the morally abhorrent action's of apparently pious people, with what's written in the book they're holding up; there's good moral philosophy in the page's of the various bible's. So don't dismiss them out of hand, just dismiss the bit's you find morally unacceptable, but you must read them first.

Indeed, but it is a path to scientific understanding... The day after yesterday, would be my guess...🙏

Exactly... The kind that some people see, some don't want too look for and the rest are blind anyway. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with any of the Bible's if you read them with a good moral compass. Look what happened when Hitler read Nietzche. It is tangentially relevant... 😉

OF course it is, bc we're not discussing relativity and the reality of light; we're discussing a very different kind of light.

Well my reality is probably a bit sadder than yours ATM, but how do we define by how much?

Who's?

But not in this context, for instance, "Brave new world" objectively, is a bloody good idea bc everyone is happy.

Perhaps that should start with you.

Fuel contanimation, an acceptable excuse to blame it on god rather than pay out on the bet...

It turns out that predicting a civil war is possible (so science) and it has a lot to do with who holds the purse strings. The Ted talk I linked, does a much better job of explianing why...

Just another perspective... It's the people who pay for protection, that inspires a war... IOW, what am I free to express, without a barrage of negs, that have no context or explanation???

Indeed my apologies, I could have sworn that my sentence ended with "for some people", it's what I intended to write. It was my perspective, but then I've never had to fight to protect him. My apologies to all who found my words objectionable, and I'm not trying to Present the English solution as somehow better; for them every slave was pure profit; they didn't care if they lived or died, as long as they couldn't escape then enough of them survived, to pay for the trip + fund's for the next trip + bonus, many steps down the moral ladder than anything America could claim; in the end we had made enough, before the noise of moral objection came into focus, America didn't have that luxury.

but who cares.. MY dad died the day after yeterday...

Indeed, but there's a lot of context missing in your emphasis... We determine who we are by what we do. One day we might agree...
