i see no evidence of literacy among liberals here. To them God is a magic man in the sky which is the cartoon version for illiterate children. Adults get Plato Augustine Luther etc. and see Christianity and the continuation of Greek philosophy

that you just make stuff up that sounds clever in your head but dosent seem to be to most every one else?
 
Re: Teaching liberals why we have religion:

no, and your point is?

If you think slavery is immoral then you disagree with the morals of Jesus.
Proving that morals didnt come from Jesus and morals are subjective

We all disagree with the scientists of 200 years ago but that does not mean they didn't create the foundation on which modern science is built and on which our very lives today are sustained. Too complicated for you?

Jesus didn't say slavery was moral he merely accepted it given that most people were slaves then. Similarly we know Jefferson was perhaps the most moral force in human history after Jesus but he too was born with slaves in his house, and accepted it the way we all accept the language we speak at birth. One thing is certain, while Jesus and Jefferson accepted slavery, they did more to end it by a million times than any of us would have done.

What you are trying to say is that all of modern morality and all of modern science didn't come Jesus and Aristotle respectively but that the foundation for modern morality and science did come from them.

That Hitler liked to kill Jews doesn't mean that morals are subjective, but rather that Hitler lacked morals. Do you understand?

that dose mean they are not perfect so we should discard their work that seems to be wrong

like the bits that sanction slavery or that say jebus was perfect

or that a god who would hurt you forever is good and just

or seems to be real

no that seems to be bull****

since you dont like to kill Jews and are counting on us to also not like it which if anything shows morals are subjective

You ever notice how you keep trying to appeal to are feelings every time you try and tell us why morality is not dependent on them?

Jesus and Jefferson accepted slavery and thus didn not have the same morals as we do

Jesus isnt the foundation of morality
Morality is subjective
