RE: Why Im finally speaking out against the worlds most dangerous religion
With difficult moral situations, I tend to separate survival from morality. They aren't always separable, but it helps me to make sense of my own compulsions.
The sharpest sharp shooter wins the argument for survival, because it's pretty black and white, no philosophy needed. The survivor survives.
Morally speaking, was the sharpest sharp shooter defending his family from violent self-serving thugs? Then he's right on both accounts. I think it's a better solution than abiding by thugs who declared themselves the presiding authority.
I don't think society improves by designating better quality authorities. I think society improves by each individual improving himself.
Human history tells us that answer to this question has not been evidence based and mostly used as an excuse to propel agenda of vested parties.
Not having a structured approach will inevitably get us back to the same situation.
Peace out !!
I meant it not as what the sharpshooter thought or claimed. I meant the actual motive.
I do not believe that facts are based on what people think they are. I think that's absolutely ridiculous. Motives and reasons exists whether people ever figure them out or not. Not accusing you, just sayin.
I agree that the "moral reason" people truly believe they're doing something is most often planted there by an "agenda of vested parties."
Also, I'm not saying there shouldn't be structure, I'm talking about the problems with centralized government authority in charge of that structure.
Enjoyed the talk @itstime.
