You’ve been given the opportunity to live, free of charge too cause what can you do to repay the Creator… and yet you’re still so ungrateful. Why are you so upset at God? Is your life so terrible? You should be consistent at the very least and just rope, then, right? Let’s hope you’re young and immature and not old, cause then you’d be double ungrateful and silly.

Maybe there’s Heaven and Hell, though. Hopefully, right?

Thank you, thank you, lol. Well, fair enough, I see what you mean. And I guess I’d like to believe otherwise but that might just be wishful thinking. 🥲

I like the cut of your jib, greenskye. ✌️

And I wish I could say something else regarding the topic but we agree too much on it, hehe. Take care, and thanks for the chat!!

I understand “not taking risks” as a morally correct stance if you don’t have enough information (you could mistake the victim for the offender, for instance), but I understood these scenarios as something you’re present for, understand clearly and are capable of acting upon. I know this goes way beyond the original question, but, would you say that “the right thing to do” remains obvious, it’s just that it’s not so easy to be self-sacrificial? I mean, if you could singlehandedly stop a genocide from taking place, but you were gonna be somewhat traumatised for it, or someone in your family had to pay the price, I think stopping it remains the right thing to do, regardless of how willing we would be to do it, right?

How did you know they were “good people” before? Some folks are just never in a position of power for their morals to be tested, and then they are and you discover who they are. I agree with the previous poster.

I’m going Occam’s razor on this one and guessing bad (?) plastic surgery.

Ranma 1/2? 😅

Do you really think people just behave in certain, sex-related ways, because they’ve been told they’re this sex or the other? That sex-related behavioural differences don’t appear naturally (and are perhaps reinforced) but are just learned? Also, you definitely can “choose who you want to be”, lol, God made us all free-willed entities! But I cannot be a camel, nor can I be a non-material entity, or (ethnically) Nepali. We have degrees of freedom but we are fundamentally constrained by reality. If you deny reality (a very post modern, perspectivist approach that’s been very popular in the West for some decades now), then sure, you’re no longer constrained but then you lose the capacity to make any “objective” assertions about the world (because you denied an external reality).

I’m sure you already know the (your, if you prefer) answers to these questions. Do you mind sharing them with us? I guess, at the end of the day, the bigger question is: do we have a moral duty towards our fellow men?

Probably because of something related to butthole development, lol, or cell growth in general. Perhaps it was unavoidable in the way God wanted to fashion us and the world. And it is not a perfect place but, if it weren’t for our own disunion and ignorance, it would be so much better. Imagine if we only had to contend with accidental deaths, medical issues and natural disasters…

Grief is the price of love. 🥲

RespectfulIy, I don’t think it does, and I’m a monotheist. It takes no faith to disregard any notion of the Divine, it takes no “stepping out of the comfort zone” of the material, the seen, but it does take faith and courage to believe in the unseen. And I’m not saying the existence of God is incompatible with a reasonable understanding of the universe, just that it cannot be encapsulated by it. Through reason you can make a regression until the beginning of the universe, but after that it’s all faith.

I don’t think it’s a waste of time for military contractors and for the American political elite (Trump in particular) who would rather stay in power/face no legal repercussions and avoid Bibi leaking some even more compromising stuff. More importantly, it’s a waste of lives.

On Lemmy? Probably “God exists, and to God we will return on the Day of Judgement”. Or something like “there are marked, easily observable personality differences between the sexes on average” (think Big Five traits, like agreeableness and neuroticism, for example).

Outside of Lemmy? Probably my dismissal of the hadiths (narrations regarding/involving prophet Muhammad), or at least my acknowledgement that (for Muslims) the Qur’an should be taken as an “axiomatic” message since it’s the word of God and everything else is up for debate (and, evidently, if the hadith contradicts the Qur’an, you should disregard it). Idk, seems pretty obvious to me but the ummah is quite sectarian, ritualistic and afraid to make their own judgements (when God, as seen in the Qur’an, exhorts people to think!).

What can I expect from a bomb lover. 🤷

Attention and entertainment. And, seeing how she hasn’t really said anything too evil or triggering, I don’t really mind (she’s also just 18, lol). She’s even made me giggle a couple of times. 🤷

He was raised in the streets and used to sell drugs, which is why he ended up in jail for 7 years. To this day, he doesn’t know his mom or dad. The man had no support. Fair enough, “morality is a skill” as in the more you choose right over wrong, the easier it gets, it becomes a part of your identity you’re proud of, but I don’t think it requires resources the way you see it. Also, people can be and have been self-sacrificial, even in the absence of resources. The poorest people are the ones that give more to charity, there’s more union and prosociality in Gaza amongst the bombs than in any American neighborhood… Idk man, I’m not buying this. I think that it’s a variable that can affect your decision making, especially if your moral framework is flimsy, but not the main variable behind moral decision making.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding your point, TBF.

You risk being outed as a vain human being, I guess. 😅

Do you consider Ukraine not a part of NATO/aligned with the West de facto? If not since they got couped, by now? What does that even mean and how would it have changed things? America wanted to “'contain” Russia, and for it it used Ukraine, and here we are. The rest is wind.
