Theology

[RobThom]

Well I believe in the Christian lord,
there are other ones for other peoples.

Sometimes I wonder whether they are all the same lord, with a name to suit the people...

But that doesn't matter to me.
I know which one is mine.

[TheLoneSpoon]

Lannister are you then?

[RobThom]

I dont know to much about lannister.

Is he a Christian?

Do you believe in a moral structure?

If so,
what is your morality based on?

How do you know the difference between right and wrong?

[TheLoneSpoon]

The Lannisters are of the Faith of Seven I believe.

I would think most (if not all) people believe in a moral structure. My own morality isn't based on a old book written by people and later edited by other people. If thats what your asking :p It's not really based on anything but, my own views. Which are based on the way I was raised and reading and all that jazz.

[RobThom]

... It's not really based on anything ...

Think about that.
Where do you live?

Did you grow up in an English speaking country?
Most English territory is Christianity/Christian morality based.

If you're an asian it might be based on other gods,
but what is the morality based on?

Air?

[TheLoneSpoon]

Air has a lot to teach us.

But no, I am aware there are Christian undertones in my own morality.

As well as Islamic, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist.

A lot of the morality that people find in one religion are in, well, all of them.

[RobThom]

I agree with you they are found in many.

But without that weird thing called religion,
what really separates us from biting, and clawing without concern for the victim?

Just because we decided to care?

[Kimarhi]

Just admit it lonespoon you are a godless heathen.

Dat would be sentientism my dear. 

Just admit it lonespoon you are a godless heathen.

you caught me

At least I'm a loveable godless heathen. 

[RobThom]

Just admit it lonespoon you are a godless heathen.

He's not the only one without something to answer for.

Its a sinner dichotomy to point your finger and say he's the one.

Dat would be sentientism my dear. 

Is sentiment similar to morality?

Is it the same thing?

I mean, being sentient is why we care.

[RobThom]

So you say sentietism?
(Thats a word? Spell check dont say so)

So I'm going to hazard a guess and assume that means that you did everything by yourself.

Will you continue to do everything by yourself?

Its almost magical.

I mean, being sentient is why we care.

Can you prove that?

Or is that a figure of faith?

[TheLoneSpoon]

We think for ourselves. So yah, I probably will continue to think for myself as we have free will and junk.

[RobThom]

Did you really have to shoehorn your junk in there?!

You libs and your junk!

So thinking for your self is just stuff people do.

Explain morality.

Why dont you murder your neighbors and eat children?

Like a monkey does.

Although the wild animal such as the ferret, will not cannibalize itself beyond its own protection.

It knows when its needs a certain amount of herd to protect itself from other species.

Basically the human is similar in that respect.

Why is there a god?

Have you ever had a dream that came true the next day?

Have you ever felt some one and then they called you?

There are things that cant be explained.

Its only a matter of Faith.
Take it or leave it.

But one thing is true,
who built this country.

Who do you owe for the freedom to doubt it?!

[maledoro]

If an Atheist observes Christians and calls them sheep or idiots based on their beliefs, they're a judgmental self-righteous prick who needs to get the f**k off their high horse and accept the fact that some people have faith no matter what.

And if the observed are sheep?

Let the libs have that one.

Who? If you mean "Liberals", I know of some people with conservative leanings who are atheists.

I'll take people with a Christian work ethic.

Which is what, exactly?
