Religious folks-Whose morality do you use when you ignore something in your religion?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

All too often do I see religious folks invoking the bible or the quran etc as a means of basing their morality.

Well it stands to reason that if you really do this, then you don't get to say what good or bad is...all you can say AT THE MOST is whatever your religion commands or asserts.

If you disagree with a part of your religious doctrine, you're using YOUR OWN morality...not the morality in the doctrine.

If you were using your religious doctrine, you wouldn't even have an opinion on the matter as the decision would be made up for you on your behalf.

Stop trying to evade being responsible for VOLUNTARILY associating yourself with something then acting like it gives you leeway to start moving the goalposts.

If you want to believe in that shyt, you better go balls deep because its either true, real, or valid...or its not.

Get mad.

This post does not even make sense. If someone follows a religion they clearly agree with the views of it. The idea that you're saying they are not making a choice does not make sense.

Ignoring the right thing to do is always caused by selfishness. So i guess to answer that question you'd be using your own morals, which you will typically find out, are wrong if they're not in line with what Scripture says.

We get it breh, you don't like religion. I'm agnostic myself but what purpose does it serve trying to convince religious folks their POV is wrong.?

You're starting to be almost as annoying as the religious cats who constantly talk about Jesus all the damn time .

The bible says you should kill your kids if they back talk to you.

Do you agree or not.

There is no "maybe".

Since when is asking questions and critiquing ideas wrong?

If this was a relationship thread about some pseudoscience of human interaction, you nikkas would be dropping paragraphs like its the PSATs.


And why do I talk about it so much? Well the question is why don't religious people talk about it MORE?

You'd think they'd care to suss out these plot holes if they cared about its legitimacy.

Quote that in scripture.

So if you're using your own morals...why are you following the bible?

And why are they wrong if they're not in line with the bible?

Quote that in scripture.

Easily.

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. -- Deuteronomy 21:18-21

He that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death. -- Exodus 21:15

He that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death. -- Exodus 21:17

The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. -- Proverbs 30:17

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. -- Psalm 137:9



Thats some sick shyt.

But then again, its not like you've read the bible.

I'm sure you'll reply with BS about how the "context" is wrong or something or you'll reword it to take away the sting.

Just admit that you don't even believe in the bible enough to read it at face value.

Sometimes people have moments of weakness where they cater to the world instead of what God wants. Its wrong because often times you find out that the cost of what you did was not worth it because it hurt you, your integrity or brought another person pain.

Every man and woman is a sinner. We follow the Bible because we love God and fear God and the morality he has given us is a great base for reference point to return to when we begin to slip into the enticements of the demonic realm and need to find our way back to good. People who follow Gods word are not perfect and doing something wrong does not mean we should abandon our beliefs to become demons. That makes no sense, friend.

What does this mean?

If there is something in the bible you disagree with it...don't you wonder WHY you disagree with it?

Every man and woman is a sinner.

That sounds like making a problem and selling you back the cure.

We follow the Bible because we love God and fear God and the morality he has given us is a great base for reference point to return to when we begin to slip into the enticements of the demonic realm and need to find our way back to good.

So...we should stone women for having premarital sex?

I mean...theres really no way around this.

People who follow Gods word are not perfect and doing something wrong does not mean we should abandon our beliefs to become demons. That makes no sense, friend.

Well again, you clearly disagree with some parts of the bible.

So you're not subject to the morality of the bible, nor do you take it seriously.

Thats the old testament when moses was teaching the law to indivudals who were new to the word of God. Down the road, all men became sinners and Christ came to us and said *let he who is without sin cast the first stone* and that individual, is no one so while we can acknowledge the lost among us , it is not our place to murder another human being because he made the same mistakes that we make, friend. Thats Gods job but we as a people should strive to not become like the sinners spoken of in the old testament because when Christ returns everyone who runs with satan will be killed.
