    We’re taking about morally good and bad here.

    Morality varies widely by individual and culture.

    Killing people is morally bad

    Pro-Life folks have been saying this for decades.

    Ffs, Zionists have been saying this.

    You need more than just platitudes to build a moral foundation

      Regardless, ancient scripture is no foundation for morality. It’s simply what people came up with thousands of years ago before moral foundations got properly built. It took all that time to develop because tradition held humanity back.

        ancient scripture is no foundation for morality

        By what standard?

        It’s simply what people came up with thousands of years ago before moral foundations got properly built

        • Killing people is wrong. This is an immortal and unquestionable truth that everyone has always agreed upon

        • We didn’t have a proper moral foundation until very recently, so disregard everything older than several hundred years ago.

        What?
