Prescription for Tolerance: Is Moral Judgment a Mental Disorder?

I agree. Islamic Jihadis are not the only enemies of freedom, truth and peace.

In fact, even if all Islamic jihadis gave up their hate and anger, or even if all Muslims converted back to the religions of their forefathers (since they are almost all descendents of Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Jains, Parsis and animists who were "converted" by the edge of a scimitar), we'd still have enemies who are intent on destroying human civilization. In fact, winning any war on terrorism will be worthless if we don't win the war on atheism, secular hedonism, feminism, and homosexualism.

As I see it, the works of the ancient Romans and Greeks still exist, and you just want to pretend they do not.

Yes, and those works are studied in museums. And if we follow this homosexualization of our culture to its ultimate conclusion then we, too, can end up in a museum.

[JamesP81]

Another good one:

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --John Adams, October 11, 1798.

you have to use the carats for doing the bold not the brackets. fyi

Sorry, too much time trolling on DU

[chesley]

Both you guys are wrong.

Yes, the ancients practiced homosexuality. Yes, they are now studied in museums. But the ancients considered sodomy as an expression of power. Older men penetrated younger boys, not each other. They also held marriage sacred. Female adultery was punished very severely, male adultery not at all. Prostitutes and catamites were not the people who ran the society.

There's lots of stuff the ancients did right. Sodomy was not among them.

They picked their words carefully.

Phobia for example. I am not afraid of homosexuals and don't know anyone who is.

BTTT

Amen!

[rzeznikj at stout]

Good Point!

[B4Ranch]

I would prefer not to know how queers consumate their marriage. No need to tell us of your answers.

[dixiechick2000]

"In other words, a person who views the legitimization of homosexuality as sinful, immoral, or destructive to society may have a mental disorder!"


A person who DOESN'T view it as sinful, immoral
AND destructive has a whacky moral compass.

Thanks for the ping, tutstar.

[Aquinasfan]

I would prefer not to know how queers consumate their marriage.

The point is the absurdity of the very idea.

[tutstar]

You're right!

Every time I read something similar to this it just blows my mind. I can't believe that we've come to the point that "sin" isn't "sin".

Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil.
