@Mewtwo_Rain This is just going round in circles so this is going to be my final post.
Ephesians 6:5
Your first paragraph shows that even when you believe in a moral lawgiver that morality can be subjective and undermines every single thing you've said in this thread. If Christians believe in objective morality they have to support slavery, as their lawgiver says it is moral, opposing it shows that subjective morality is possible within such a belief system.
This will be my last response to your response:
There are two forms of morality perception: Human perception or perception from a god/higher being. The problem with human perception is that it is subject to change therefore subjective. Just as slavery was once thought acceptable and in some countries it is. If it was objective, then ALL humans would agree slavery is wrong. Just as you must admit all humans must breathe oxygen. Yet, humans understand the latter but do not instantly agree with the former. Objectivity means that even if you deny the oxygen claim it doesn't matter. You'll still die by denying that irrefutable truth. Morality is not the same, if I start ensalving people and no one punishes me then I've gotten away with it despite your claims it is immoral as their is no absolute punisher. You have to take into account time period, social norms, and even the legal system when looking at human perception of morality. Most law makers don't follow their own rules, yet you contest that humans have objective morality, then why do their own rulers deny it.
In a line in the sand the mob WILL punish those who violate the rules where as when left to humans you end up with a lolbertarian outcome where people will ignore immoral actions that don't directly effect them to not get involved or have to care until it effects them. which is dangerous. There's also the possibility they become sympathetic to those who violate morals and rules. Which we see now.
The reason why "God perception" morality is a better concept, because there is no "if" or "why" it just is. You are supposed to follow regardless of a reasoning. That doesn't mean religion as a tool of control is perfect, but it keeps the gerbil brain normies in line. Without it we see the catastrophic results. when people do not have someone to tell them something is wrong or a line in the sand (god perception) then they will listen to what OTHER humans say, and since humans can't agree with most forms of morality guess what? They will do unspeakable things to each other, to their children and even to their neighbors because someone else told them it was ok, that it was virtuous, that it was brave and stunning. Japan is a canary in the coal mine having a "atheistic religion" as it's forefront and troonism was huge there not long ago.
ntil then you can't prove that atheists are somehow less moral and that is somehow linked to their lack of belief in a moral lawgiver. It may, just may be possible that more kids and people in general are becoming transgender because they feel more comfortable doing so in a society that is more tolerant to their choices. For all we know, there could've been the same percentage of people experiencing gender dysphoria beforehand but had to repress it. I don't think anyone believes that people people only became gay when it became socially acceptable, instead that they just repressed it. If you want to argue against this point, and imply that parents are forcing children to become trans, you need cold, hard, evidence. Not one case, not two cases, but evidence that this is pervasive throughout society.
That wasn't my argument, but I can at least prove Atheism + has justified those immoral actions and defending groomers and monsters and including to these atheistic feminist and progressives. You're not going to get a full citation because it would require me going up to everyone and showing you the stats, just as I can't prove 75% of muslim believe in Jihad even though most studies imply a majority do. Also "more comfortable" Are you serious? Five year old often feel slight gender dysphoira, but even EXPERTS are saying it's child abuse to encourage them transitioning, and the suicide rates from it are showing this . You are literally blind to make this dumb argument and coming off as one of the progressives, continue worshipping Atheism + but don't be surprised when actually moral people call you out for your intellectually dishonest bullshit. The fact you tried to play that card "Oh it's more acceptable now." NOT WITH CHILDREN, I literally pointed this out and you ignored it because it destroys any credibility you had on the claim. There are literally tons of articles pointing out that this transitioning children is not only dangerous but considered child abuse by many specialist on the subject and just because a girl plays with G.I. Joe doesn't mean she's a boy. Yet parents are encouraging a girl who does that to become as such, and children being conditioned to believe trannies are good and straight people are evil which even psychologist have noticed, is grooming which is not acceptable even by your "moral code." How can you disregard that obvious sentiment pointed out in an article I cited and quoted specifically to bring light to that notion going on? Troons are grooming children guy, troon story hour with sexualization of children didn't come out of nowhere. Have you not heard of schools pushing sexual LGBTQ stuff on kids five and up?
You can't even follow your own moral code, and you wonder why I said "God perception" morality is superior to "huamn perception" because you're a hypocrite defending the indefensible despite the evidence to the contrary. Just admit it you think trooning children is a-ok. You think that children can make their own decision to become a troon despite specialist, and a majority of experts saying NO IT'S NOT. Note: I know you're not actually saying this, but that crap makes me angry. Actually angry.
We do? I haven't seen a single person defend the rape gangs in yorkshire aside from the Police who turned a blind eye. I may be wrong but I think it ended up going to court, anyway after public outcry.
Considering there have been countless progressives begging for the release of Muslim rapist because they didn't' know any better. You are ignorant on the subject that at least 4 people have mocked you for already, instead of doing proper research you pull this shit? Really. I'll still counter debate it but here goes:
"Senate president Thomas Philipp said: 'Four years are appropriate here.'" Why? Does Austria need more Muslim migrant rapists on the streets? If he were a native Austrian, would his sentence have been cut? Or would keeping him too long in prison be "Islamophobic"? He might not have known that...

What we see here again is that Austrian judges apply Mohammedan dhimmi laws. As in the case of Elisabeth Sabbaditsch-Wolf, who was convicted for saying Muhammad was a pedophile, (the judge ruled he…

There are tons of cases like this over the last four years. These gangs rape people and then get reduced sentences, or progressive tards defending them and stopping them from being deported. Where have you been this last 20 years living under a rock? If you don't even know crap like this then why are you debating it as if you are well informed when you constantly prove you're not? I wouldn't be so uptight with you if you'd take a week research these cases and then bring your conclusions at this point I'm having to basically inform you from years worth of what's going on beneath the surface of society.
My whole point is that you don't need a moral lawgiver.
Let me refresh your own comment:
aside from the Police who turned a blind eye
Who made that legal system, the politicians, who told the police to turn a blind eye because they're migrants or a minority? The politicians? Who's running the legal system? Who's corrupting the legal system? It's funny because you've given me all I need to dispute your argument.
When you depend on people to follow their own moral system, they often disregard it. A god whether they exist or not is a line in the sand can not. Only a human could chose to disregard it which shows the immoral hypocrisy of humans and their willingness to corrupt their own rules and not abide by them. At least a fake entity or god, or what have you isn't compromising their rules. Humans? They do ALL the time. You just conceded. I don't even have to source anything, you presented enough evidence to destroy your claim.
In the system you advocate for people can still be evil despite there being a god because for whatever reason they reject it
Which is why the community punishes the person who disregards it as they used to. Now people have subjected themselves to a law/legal/moral system by humans : The government and it is corrupt and not doing ANY such protections of the innocent from those who would undermine it. At least people chased pedophiles in the church and gave them a good what-two.
, nevertheless there is a system of good ways to act in the sense of things that are good for humans. All I'm saying is that I don't think you need a god to reach that
What I'm saying is you don't have to believe in god, but a lack of god perception moral system, leads to hypocrisy and people defying their own morality code sooner or later down the road, whether atheist, or religious or whatever. Humans are further flawed than the (real) or non-existing gods that they adhere too. Show me one politician who hasn't corrupted the legal system for their own benefit.
You can come to that conclusion without it.
Yet, most people don't. Heck even the whole Covid situation disproves this concept. After contradiction after contradiction the government can't make up its mind and constantly violates its own ethics on a day to day basis. People no longer believing in a god now fear death that they have basically become social invalids to the eyes of everyone.
Therefore we base everything on what causes the least suffering to each other. To enforce that you have to find some way to discourage imposing suffering, currently the obvious method is imprisonment. People can reject this view, of course, it happens in religion too, but I still maintain if you view us as a collective it is objectively best to not harm each other.
The problem is now the legal system benefits those who cause the most suffering not those who are innocent. It used to be we put sexual violators to death, now we put them in a permanent vacation or cut their sentence short by half because they didn't understand their sexual emergency wasn't morally acceptable. Taken to its fullest extent people are becoming apathetic to the needs of evil doers. This is the failing of a human perception of human hypocrisy, and human stupidity. If everyone was like you or I I might trust the moral system, well ... Most people aren't like that. That's something you can't easily prove but can easily observe if you actually gain some experience in human understanding.
Evil doers should be harmed, it puts a stop to it, did for many years. Yet we using flawed human perception think we should coddle those who would do great evil, and look where its got us. Your good intentions paved the very road to Hell that many warned about because you thought human perception was above stupidity, what you didn't realize is, smart intelligent humans aren't in control of this madhouse of a world, the inmates are.
my irk is with the inconsistencies of religious morality whereas you believe everything is breaking down as we move away from religion. I think, in a way we're taking it out on the wrong people so I'm going to leave it here.
It's not about religion itself, it's about a higher than human perception claim of morality. Often religion was the tool that used such an imprint on society, as we have disregarded a higher position of authority on morality we know regard human perception as the best perception of morality and you know what? It's ending up far worse than ever before. Some people want to take pity on rapist and child molesters because they are minorities and historical oppression matters more than the act they perpetuated itself. Some people would rather criminals be comfortable and have a good time in prison instead of making them face punishment opening the door that they might as well do it since they get a long-term vacation afterwards. Some want to return to vigilante justice to hopefully return to some normalcy but that would defy the moral (legal sytem) system put in place. Most everyone else would rather watch the world be reset or burn because we screwed up.
You can't even get people to stop being religious about Covid, yet you think removing or letting religion die is a way forward when people have replaced their beliefs with those of celebrities, politicians, youtubers. The problem with many smart and intelligent people is they often project their mindset onto others and believe that everyone is like themselves, the reality is they aren't. It's not that I don't wish they were, but they are not, and it's pretty evident by how society is degrading right after god was removed and bashed in society. If you need a citation for that, then there's no further argument to be had, it's above your pay grade of understanding at that point.

How we got here is not complicated. Sexualizing children’s identity makes sexualizing their behavior inevitable. So, what now?
