#264 PARIS TERRORIST ATTACK in Off Topic
DavidTheWinThat just goes to show how susceptible people are to brainwashing. People used religion (the thing about Noah's black son seeing him naked whilst asleep) among other non-religious reasons (being under the idea that black people were physically inferior) to justify slavery and racism towards black people.

I have never read anywhere in the Bible about Noah having a black son who was seen as inferior. If someone actually used this as an excuse to justify slavery, then it is completely unfounded in the Christian faith. I would chalk that up to an individual trying to find some excuse to justify something that he knew to be wrong, and eventually everyone else just started using that same excuse. Everyone knows that slavery is wrong, however, slavery was a great way to make money back then. For a small cost, you could have free labor for literally generations.

KanecovalkeriKanecoa world without religion would be a better world.Can you go deeper into this? I am just curious about why you think a world without religion would be better.
Religion used to be a bastion of knowledge and the goodness in the world, christian monks among others where some of the most important people to modern world, they saved thousands of ancient works and scriptures, nowadays all it represents to me is backwards beliefs, repression of knowledge/science, violence and greed.

Could you give me some specific examples of the repression of knowledge and science that the Church, Catholic or otherwise has committed?
As for the violence and greed, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Some individuals use religion to get wealthy. A great example is when the some individuals of the Catholic church came up with a new idea of indulgences, practically forcing people to give them money by playing on their emotions that if they gave money to the church they were "buying" the freedom of loved ones from purgatory. There is a famous quote by the man who invented this that I'm going to paraphrase, "Whenever a coin in the coffer rings, a soul from purgatory springs." Clearly this was corrupt and immoral, but that was just one individual.

We don't need religion to know what is morally right or wrong, we co-existed and thrived far before any religions were "invented". Specially in the age of information and science, when we are sending men to the moon and discovering new planets and galaxies and extra terrestrial life, it just seems to me so mind boggling that such beliefs are still held in such high regard and universally accepted.

If we don't need religion to know what is morally right or wrong, where would you say we get it from?
Religion has been around since the beginning of recorded history, in fact, it's one of the reasons we know what happened in the early world. If it wasn't for monks or scribes or other religious people, we would not know much of what we know today about the past.

sorsaI'm quite certain that you just explained how it makes sense.

I fail to see where I affirmed that society gives the standard for morals, if you don't mind I would love for you to explain your statement more.

At the end of the day, this is a video game forum. I know that what I am saying is most likely contrary to the popular opinion here. In no way do I want to derail this thread for its intended purpose which was to bring attention to the tragedy of what happened in Paris. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Paris and those who have died and those who have lost their loved ones.

So I think we can all agree that humans have morals and from those come moral laws. If there are moral laws there must be a moral lawgiver, whether that be society or a religious entity. The question I was asking was where do we get them from?

DavidTheWinSociety as a whole.

I find the thinking that society gives us morals flawed. A few examples are since the beginning of America until the 1900's minorities were oppressed through slavery and denial of natural rights. Back then, no one thought that was wrong, society said, "Yes, these people are inferior and it is morally acceptable to have slaves or oppress these people." Another example would be that in the 1940's in Germany, it was morally acceptable, in German society, to kill six million Jews.

Not trying to single out David, just the easiest post to quote.

SocialiteI like to think that I have morals even if bible disagrees. But if the only morality we have is the one given by the religion then too bad.

Assuming we do not get our morals from religion, then where do we get them?

and i was here thinking this was plain obvious...i guess some people live in denial.

All I did was ask a question about Kaneco's views, instead of arguing ad hominem, would you care to answer the question?

#5 NASA finds evidence of flowing water on Mars in Off Topic
omnificI mean it's cool but what impact does it have?

Life on earth wouldn't exist without water. Even though the water on mars was found to be extremely salty, it wouldn't be impossible to extract it to make it drinkable water if we ever tried a mission on mars.
