FR Hell's bells. Every time an intelligent discussion about ethics and morality starts on CM's forums, somebody destroys it by bringing the Bible into it.

In what way was this ever about ethics, about morality, or an intelligent discussion concerning same? Strikes me as a case of there having been a discussion about the Bible and stuff in that general neighbourhood, to which a bunch of otherwise intelligent people brought ethics, morality and more. None of which seems to have any place in what the OP would be interested in hearing about in connection with her question(s). Predictably, a lot of smoke and no light results. IWYW, — Aswad.

That's not the topic of the thread, the OP is looking for validation that she's not an evil abomination for being how she is i.e. kinky.

quote: ORIGINAL: TNDommeK I think it sounded pretty good when it was told to Me. Although, as I said, I am pretty sure I fucked up how it was said when I was typing it here,lol. Your phrasing seemed fine to me, keep in mind that Pascal's Wager is a classic apologetics argument that most of us have heard expressed a number of different ways so criticism of it isn't a problem with your phrasing. Pascal's Wager is a really bad argument and I posit to you that you would immediately notice how terrible it is if it were about anything other than your religion. As such I present you with GotSteel's Wager: If there is no Garry the Unicorn and we die, then that will be all, we will just die. But if there is Garry the Unicorn and we die, then those who chose not to wear cones upon their heads are in trouble. I think I'd rather be on Garry the Unicorn's side. So have you been convinced to wear a cone on your head or are you seeing something wrong with GotSteel's Wager? [image]local://upfiles/566126/0114826821974ADE9FA1A2673DE32889.jpg[/image]

It really doesn't matter to me if the op takes my advice or not and I'm certainly not concerned about your thoughts. But thanks for the response.

Hey! Since Big G is here (I knew it allatime!) I got a question. For any one, if Big G doesn't want to handle it. Why do we need God to save us from God? I mean, where is the upside? For anyone? Big G included. Edit : To add Color.

Is he the unicorn I have to answer to when I die? if so, I would like a rainbow colored horn please,lol. No but seriously, I get what you are saying. It can be presented in any argument and insert which ever point is trying to be made, correct?

Pascal's wager is a very poor argument for reasons additional to the one already mentioned. See, for example, this blog post: Homer Simpson Answers Pascal's Wager

Just to mention a few. I particularly, think there's no God. And if there's a God, and he is like some religious people think he is... well, then I'm totally against him.

The Bible is an anthology written by authors who held conflicting beliefs. As such rationalizations are required to reconcile it into a coherent message. maybe you missed it in the op where she said she is religious and will she go to hell for doing wiitwd. hence, god either exists along with all the stuff in the bible, commandments, and so on. in which case she is going to hell. or he doesn't exists and she can do what the hell she likes with no come back. or she can be like all the other 'believers' on here and twist everything to suit her own gains, and appease her own conscience. if religion is mentioned in a thread/conversation anywhere in conjection to 'should i/ can i do this and not go to hell, then you are going to get a discussion about whether god exists in the first place. it's inevitable. so i stand by what i said. nothing in here has so far made me thing that there is any truth in a god. i also think that those who 'believe' twist everything to suit what they want. in the end if they are right then i guess their huge ego is getting their arse kicked to the curb for assuming they knew better than to take things as written. you can't claim to believe, but then pick and choose which bits. what i know for sure is this; if such a god exists then there are going to be a lot of very fucked off people when they die. it must be the kicker of all time to die and realise you backed the wrong god. needles

TNDommeK -> RE: god and bsdm (8/22/2012 10:46:32 AM)
I do believe in God, I just don't like hypocritical organized religions. So I think that is why I mostly tend to have a personal relationship with Him. And as I stated, the Wagner thing was something that was stated to me before, Me personally I feel that I am not following God just because I don't want to go to hell. I am following Him because if the joy He brings to me when I do. (among countless other reasons)
