[Noitidart]

Psychopath >.>

euph u said it. killing 10000 humans for an animal, lets go with a slug??? lol there's no other way to explain that other then: psycopath

[Frizzle]

A slug is a insect, not an animal. I'm not a psycopath, I just believe that animals have no possibility of evil, whilst humans do. Plus with us being over-populated, we could get rid of a few thousand.

[414de7fe6]

Yeah, like humans can populate deserts (camels) or jungles (lions).

[Frizzle]

I'm not one of those PETA freaks, they try to force their beliefs on you, which I hate. I just don't think any animal deserves to be in pain.
I have a low look on humans on the other hand.

[redlion]

Yeah, like humans can populate deserts (camels) or jungles (lions).

Does it matter which type of animal? Look, I get that you are devout in your religion. Hell, you had to look up whether or not you could wank off, but this is wierd. Check yourself before you say something like that:

Then the Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable companion to help him."

God has given man a companion. If you believe that God created you superior, it is so you can look out for your animal bretheren.

I don't even subscribe to this belief system, and I can tell you that...

Eveyone with half a brain knows that all religions are wrong anyway, their standards and morales just don't come anywhere close to proven facts and investigated science.

[jillian]

Frizz just burned religions. But Frizz! They all KNOW it's not scientific, it's a leap of faith. A leap of faith which contradicts all known scientific facts...

Exactly what Jillian said, religion is supposed to contradict science and is more on faith.
It's not exactly nice to call everyone who follows a religion brainless..

[Frizzle]

I'd just like to see a bit of fact behind these so called faiths, if you say you follow something because of the morales, etc like "Thou shall not kill and thou shall a general nice chap", then I have no problems, but when it comes down to it, most religions boil down to the same thing.

[jillian]

Yeah, but then they deny it and shoot someone who believes one bible verse means something slightly different. Religion was an alright idea when it started, way back thousands of years ago, but now science has rendered all but the basic good ideas* meaningless, and it's just a way to make war when people are bored.

*don't kill, steal, rape, etc. I think religion was a way to sooth the minds of people who have trouble understanding things, and to herd them into behaving well. It's just a souped-up Santa Claus which has been mutilated into insane dogmas and suicidal causes. Or something.

*dances cheerily to uplift the mood of this post*

[jillian]

Thank you Ali! I missed you too.

My opnnion is fairly simple. There is right and wrong, every human being should have some sense in them to know if what they are doing is right or wrong. If it is wrong don't do it. I admit I've made a lot of mistakes in my life but I've tried my hardest to learn from them.

[jillian]

Eh, every philosophy believes there is right and wrong. The point is, from where did our understanding of good and evil come? Did God instill universal truths to be good in all situations, or can an action be good in some situations and bad in others?

That's the reason for this thread, as far as I can tell.

There is no reason for this thread. I think originally it was to lecture us in some obscure relatively unimportant philosophy, but we kinda made it our own Utilitarianism!!!1shiftone1!
