Muzzy ponders the meaning of life. "An asocial or antisocial behavior" is a sociopath. I guess we all feel alienated and resentful toward societies injustices. Let's consider the Christian sociopath .. This is a believer in a corrupt decadent society where only the faith in a crucified savior can save them. Well, that's antisocial. But, in the United States the Christian political movement is very successful. It is most popularly represented by the Republican Party. How many of Ronald Regan's administration were convicted of obstruction of justice? Over 200. There was the Iran Contra scandal too. All done by a conservative Christian President.. Strange, how righteous people can break so many laws. .. or is it? If Christians truly believe the world is corrupt and there can be no justice without Christianity, then constitutional law is not important. Only the reveal word of Jesus in the Gospels matters. But, I still don't see how Iran Contra fits into Jesus Gospels.. Maybe, if you believe the ends justify the means, then the Theist's argument of good coming from evil explains Christian atrocities, like the inquisition or the Witch hunts of Salem, Massachusetts. Is it moral to have an innocent person die for anothers sin? Jesus thought so. He wanted to be martyred and knew exactly what Judas was going to do. This is not secular justice. It is an occult human sacrifice. Muzzy sips his coco and ponders the counter culture. Is Ellen Degeneres a pervert? I tweaked a member here with that question. Ellen Degeneres is openly gay. Homosexuality is illegal in some states in the United States of America. These states define homosexuality as sexual perversion. They are using Christian ethics to write these prohibitions on homosexuality. In the constitution there is an amendment that states there shall be a separation of Church and state. Well, we're back to the circular argument; what is morality? Some secular apologists would say that Ellen Degeneres is not a pervert. That she is in a loving relationship. Then, sexual laws should be written on the nature of love. The National Man Boy Gay Love Organization, believe the love between a homosexual man and a homosexual boy is just as valid as the heterosexual love between adults. Is this new law? Actually, homosexual relation between men and boys can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome. It was not illegal in those times. Aristotle wrote about the special love he had for his young male students. He called them his lovers. Was Aristotle a pervert? The laws can be changed, but what is moral? Recently, since the 1960's, interracial marriage has been legalized in the United States of America. Before that time an interracial couple could be convicted of a sexual crime. Why was the law changed? There was a civil rights movement amongst secular radicals, who challenged the racial laws. These racial laws were written by the Christian Moral Majority. How did these radicals overthrow the will of the majority? They challenged the law in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court can overturn laws, if it believes they are unconstitutional, like the segregation of the races. So, is the Supreme Court infallible? No. The judges on the Supreme Court are human and fallible, which begs the question; what is moral? I know so many folks, who just do what feels good. Some of these free thinkers are in prison. Psychology describes the point of view of the self in society and the sort of person in the working world. Under this definition the majority is the guiding force in a happy life. If you live in NAZI Germany, then be a good NAZI. Not a popular thought now. I hope. Is Ellen Degeneres a pervert? It depends on your values. I hope she is not. But, psychologists would call her a deviant. This is my philosophy if your going to get hurt; ask yourself is it worth it. That's all I can Davine... I think love is for grown ups... who like to get into trouble. Did I offend you? If so, please explain why. Maybe, you can teach me something. + ^ V |
