Fact is, on face value, Christ ask to kill unbelievers, something even Hitler did not do. Secular is not the point, survival is. Systematically in the new testament, the game is played: the Christ followers are perfect, and are ordered to be 100% innocuous, so Christ has to burn people on their beha...

Belinda & Misty: Sorry I did not know anyone replied anything... Belinda: Maybe you should read the recent 2012 book: Soldaten. You would find madness through banality. Misty: Soldaten shows it was not about murder being acceptable, or not, but about indifference, and stupidity.

Well established morality is always based on survival, big time. The survival of civilization. And now there is basically only one of latter. Hence of the former.

No Quantum computer, no conscious computer. Why? Because today's computers are as clever as a bunch of canals. Intuitively, that should not be conducive to consciousness.

All countries are more or less socialist, so the question asked is unreal. BTW, France, one of the richest, wisest, oldest nations in the world, is now controlled completely by socialists: Regions, big cities, Senate, National Assembly, Presidency...

Morality ought to based on long term survival, as its etymology indicates.
In particular this means it should be based on reality, and its reflection, truth.

(quote not shown) And I really want to know what it says exactly. Do you mind expanding? I would expand with pleasure, but my car just got repaired and I have to pick it up in the rain, with my one year old daughter. From the grand historical scale, the half a dozen versions of Christianity, plus mo...

(quote not shown) Scott: Sorry that you feel I am a preacher... I am not a preacher, as far as I can tell. I thought my posts were rich in facts, and arguments. The main arguments are these: -religion, from its ethymological defition, ought to include secularism. even Fox News agrees with that one n...

(quote not shown) Tyranosopher you would have to crush all philosophy then, because Greek philosophers killed tortured and maimed in the past.

(quote not shown) Mark: In the original essay,"Crush Infamy!", I gave two homicidal quotes of Jesus, with the reference in the Evangels. Do you want more? There are more. But one ought to be enough. In any case, these quotes, and others, were used by the authorities to send millions to the...

(quote not shown) I defined religion as an inescapable background to the human discourse. So it's neither good nor bad anymore than the brain is good or bad. Brain implies religion: this is already true in the most basic logical systems (first order logic). Then I distinguished superstitious religio...

(quote not shown) As one of our friends here said, consistency can be overvalued. One should not try to be too systematic, lest we self censor. Nietsche promoted aphoristic philosophy, but most known philosophy is aphoristic. I would even say that the philosophical method is, by definition, aphorist...
