Damn! Oh well. The point of my essay was to encourage people to evaluate Christianity without Conservapedia's interpretation of it, and if you did that with an OPEN MIND then fine. SJ ^Debaser 12:38, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

At heart any religion is a set of arbitrary rules based on 'God said so'. This is fine if you believe in an objective morality, as long as you're sure that you've got the right one, but if you believe that morality is more relativistic then any religion becomes a hindrance to moral evolution. OK, you can debate the differing merits of "killing is wrong because it puts the perpetrators worth as higher than the victim" against "killing is wrong because god says so". Personally I feel that the former is the more... careful choice of words here... civilised position. Bob Soles (talk) 13:02, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

In order to avoid endlessly trying to solve the unsolvable, for the purposes of my personal philosophy, I just go with "Killing is wrong" and leave off any discussion of "because...". All philosophies have to start somewhere. OneForLogic 199.46.199.232 14:27, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
