Infected Euphoric atheists

Yes, that verse looks bad. Until you realise that the people being slaughtered took over Jerusalem, tore down the temples that God's people had built, and started worshipping their pagan gods there.
It's also taken out of context to make it seem like a command for humans to do something, but it's not - it's a vision Ezekiel sees of God commanding angels to execute divine punishment. Euphorics seem to think that not taking things extremely out of context is just apologetics; it reminds me of the guy who wrote a book about "living biblically" for a year and decided that Deuteronomy 14:25 meant that he should walk around with a dollar bill tied to his hand all the time.

"Fundamentalists" also seem to claim absolutely extreme interpretations of scripture they like, while ignoring other parts of it. Euphorics are not unique in this bizarre mode of interpretation, where a few passages in Leviticus turns into kill all fags, while all the stuff about eating lobster is ignored.
 
Didn't lightning strike Trump Tower on Inauguration Day?

Was that God expressing approval or disapproval?
I don't think God approves of larping as a Christian to please Southern evangelicals while refusing to defund Planned Parenthood, and I definitely don't think He approves of divorcing your wife to get a mail-order bride from Slovenia.

25% of that is true. For a Trump post that's pretty good.
 
I random clicked in the about-middle point of the vid and the bitch started talking some shit about tutu wearing legions trying to cram eggs into iphones, then started rambling some incoherent shit about whatever the fuck. I'd say that's almost providence trying to tell me something about her.
She's trying to make a comparison to Christians listening to a sermon or taking communion to putting on tutus to and cramming eggs into iphones in tribute to Jeff Goldblum. That was how she saw religious people doing their thing apparently since she was 6 years old.

I don't care if you were never exposed to religion in your childhood. That 's a serious her problem right there. If that is always how you saw religion and religious people, maybe there's something wrong with you instead.

That's just what happens when the "God shaped hole" in your heart is filled with a goon sack. Boxed wine and its consequences have been a disaster for the female sex.

Wonder what happened that she never aged out of being 6 years old lol
 
Apparently Sam Harris is getting ratioed hard on going after Bret Weinstein.

The guy he had on couldn't even put in the work to google the name of the organization he was supposed to attack. He confused the Frontline Covid Critical Care Alliance with America's Frontline Doctors, two organizations with only vaguely similar sounding names.

Horseshoe theory at work.
 
So I mostly discuss religion with people equally as uninformed about it as me.

But something I have trouble with tackling is the concept of humanism as it relates to western christian values.

Is there something I am missing there, or is it basically just as it seems to me being 'We want to have the sweet icing of the christian values, but we don't want any of that religion cake that it's layered on top of.'

I'm no philosopher, but I feel like, for people constantly demanding explanation of the underlying logic of religion and its ethical systems, they seem acutely disinterested in their own moral system of 'what you believe, plus and minus some stuff I don't like, because that's what being a good person is by my 'objective standard' of morality'.

Am I missing something, or is just another case of mom and dad are wrong about everything but i still believe everything they taught me?

Yes, but it goes into more sinister shit where some h*umanists start to coopt Christian values for themselves and their ilk. It's kind of like muslims say that Abraham, Moses, Alexander the Greant, Fonzie were all actually muslims before islam was a thing.

They stop at the objective part, taking it for granted that (((most human beings are good))) even though when you walk out of the western Judeo-Christian world, you see the most savage shit that you couldn't even imagine living in the west.

It's literally mom and dad are wrong about everything but i still believe everything they taught me. Only the scope and cope can differ between individuals.
But all that being said, there are some really full of shit Christians out there as well who don;t deserve to be called such and who are worse that most base spoiled brat euphorics.

Oh no doubt on that.

I have just always been confused about how people who take a relativist stance on cultures outside their own, then turn around and say that the objective morality just happens to be the one I grew up on and it should be applied to all people, but also leave all those other people alone, they'll realise how I think is the right way eventually when they reach the peak of human morality like I have.
No wonder the Pope hates relativism so much.

On a side note, do you think that the obsession with deeper and deeper meanings and motivations and systems in pop culture and consoomer IPs is because the last several thousand years of thought has been somewhat focused on that in religion, and now that people are being told 'look, this is what is objectively good, don't think about it' need some kind of outlet for those urges?

On the same hand's other side you have muslim refugees who cross a quarter of the world to life off of the corrupt, evil Christian world instead of walking a couple of leagues into another based muslim country and staying there.
Can objectivism be more evident with such irony? I think not.

I honestly think people are just out to get high off of that shit. But one day, at least I hope, most will come to realize the values, advantages and disadvantages they know and will be able to discern the truth. If you hold truth to be taken for granted, you will get fooled eventually, especially if you're weak willed.
I do think it's fucking funny that although a lot of Hollywood-esque media produced draws heavily into eastern thought or pagan mysticism, it still draws its conclusions from Christian ideals of humility, benevolence, whatever, which you'd think are universal, but if you study eastern literature and myths, you'd see that there is less benevolence and more of a power trip there.

It's not really a logically consistent value structure so chances are they just believe it because it feels good in the moment, and didn't spend much time thinking about it at all.
