Oklahoma Bible mandate challenged in Court

[Into the Night]

Your claim that the Golden Rule is a solid scientific principle of nature is laughable in the face of the fact you and almost nobody else here practices it.

Almost nobody here even recognizes a theory of science; not even if it came up and slapped them in the test tube.

I reclaim Christianity on behalf of humanity.

You aren't Jesus Christ. You cannot claim what is His.

 

[Jerry Mathers]

It is a religious statement.
Go learn what 'supernatural' means.

Attempted proof by contrivance.

You don't care if someone murders you?

nope. morality is rational.

 

[Jerry Mathers]

You aren't Jesus Christ. You cannot claim what is His.

neither was Paul.

I reclaim christianity on behalf of humanity and you can't do shit about it.

But it can be an ideal toward which our species strives. Which is why it arose independently across civilizations and across all time. Literally every society has had a formulation of the Golden Rule.

But I'm sure in your imagination it's because Invisible God Man BEAMED it into our minds! OR it could be a drive understood by social animals as part of that whole reciprocity thing you seem to hold in such disregard (unless it's magical mystical God-Reciprocity that comes from invisible skydaddy)

I don't think your Invisible Farting Rainbow Unicorn or your magical invisible sky daddy wrote the Bible or the Golden Rule that is in it.

 

[Jerry Mathers]

I don't think your Invisible Farting Rainbow Unicorn or your invisible sky daddy wrote the Bible.

luckily the very best messages of all faiths are contained in the golden rule.

Cypress is a Creationist apparently

Cyborg discards the Bible, but he does subscribe to the Theory of Creation, just as you subscribe to the Theory of Abiogenesis. Neither is a theory of science. Both are religions.

Question for you:
Assuming a cell DOES somehow form from some unknown series of random events, what is it going to eat? It must eat to divide into two cells.
It cannot consume energy directly without complex structures.

Assuming TWO cells somehow form this way, and one eats the other. Now it has enough energy to divide into two cells, so you are stuck with just two cells again.

So how does such a cell manage to evolve at all?

and he doesn't believe in evolution.

The Theory of Evolution is also not a theory of science. It is also a religion.

Since HE can't imagine wanting to help a stranger he assumes EVERYONE is thus hampered. The only reason he would help a stranger is because God told him to.

And this is bad...how?

 

[Into the Night]

why don't you just shut the fuck up.

I have this handled.

your here to destroy any thread that arrives at truth.

Random words is not having anything handled. You are simply showing your own illiteracy.

 

[Into the Night]

nope. morality is rational.

Morality is not a division.

 

[Into the Night]

neither was Paul.

He never claimed Christianity on behalf of humanity. Strawman fallacy.

I reclaim christianity on behalf of humanity and you can't do shit about it.

You can't. You are not Jesus Christ.

Still ignoring the Bible, eh?

 

[Jerry Mathers]

just as you subscribe to the Theory of Abiogenesis. Neither is a theory of science. Both are religions.

he didn't say that.

you're forcing things into your usual false dichotomous stupidity.

You can't. You are not Jesus Christ.

Christ gave his teachings to humanity, Nazis have perverted them.

What false dichotomy? Fallacy fallacy.

What is with your fixation on Nazis?
Hitler shot himself. The Nazi party was destroyed in WW2. That was eighty-two years ago.

The year is 2026 and this isn't Germany.

 

[Jerry Mathers]

What is with your fixation on Nazis?
Hitler shot himself. The Nazi party was destroyed in WW2.

I call all genociders Nazis.

It's a religious value in eastern and western traditions, based in the belief that all humans have innate value.
It's not a scientific Darwinian law of nature.

So your argument is morality is from God. I got that much earlier. I understand your postion. It is the position of most believers.

You're free to co-opt a religious value and strip it out of it's religious context, but don't try to claim that the consistent practice of the Golden Rule is a scientific law of nature.

And you are free to misrepresent my position. Dishonesty is the chief virtue in your morality.

You never consistently follow the Golden Rule on this board.

Actually there you are quite wrong! You see, early on in our "relationship" on about 3 or 4 occasions I attempted to re-equlibrate our relationship and even apologized. You just came back swingin'.

At that point I simply provided you with the very thing you gave to me: hatred.

And don't be mistaken, Cy. I hate you. I despise you at a molecular level.

But that's YOUR fault. You told me early on rather clearly that you hate and you want hate in return.

Many of your posts are dripping with insult, depreciation, disparagement.

Yes, and I expect it in return. Ergo I am indeed practicing the golden rule

As long as you can act with anonymity and know you can get away with it you do not strive for the Golden Rule. That should tell you the Golden Rule is not a scientific law of nature

And as long as you can act with anonymity you can lie and misrepresent and hate others. You can make buddies with attrocious human scum like Doc Dutch, you can blather on about your own greatness all day long.



But remember Cy: You asked for this. You told me that this is what you wanted. And I'm giving it to you.

 

[Cypress]

Cy. I hate you. I despise you at a molecular level!

See, you do not practice the Golden Rule consistently, and you don't even strive to aspire to it - based on your posting history of insults, unrelenting belligerence, hate, and unrestrained disparagement.

So you can save the b.s. about how the Golden Rule is just a scientific law of nature people just naturally practice. I'm not buying it.

Damn, Cypress, I thought I pissed people off. But I don't think any of my "fans" went to the "molecular level".

Well done!
