If there's an MO, I think it's more that it's ****ting on Christians in general, whenever arguing whatever point involving religious people. Here we have Christians talking about the evils of porn. So retort with examples from the bible that are immoral by today's standards, while ignoring that they themselves would have done the same things had they been alive at the time. The religious/secular **** is a conflict of worldviews and it's not gonna be solved because the sides think that the only solution is agreement with their side. In the case of atheists, they don't want a mutual understanding. They want religion to die.This is his standard MO, period. Which is why I refuse to engage with him. AT ALL. EVERY LAST controversial thread that goes sideways like this is the same with him. Attack, deflect, and refuse to directly answer questions.
Not worth the time. Y'all apparently have much more patience for that crap than I do.
I'm not religious, but I think religion has played an important part in developing moral standards that led to human societies being capable of scaling with a high degree of freedom, to an extent they couldn't have otherwise. Particularly Judaeo-Christian religions as they matured.
I'm not sure those beneficially moral precepts would have evolved apart from religion. Even from a secular worldview, I think such religions have led human's ability to handle freedom, at least for a time. But many secular people have a burr up their asses about religion, and so they have to **** on it whenever they have the chance.
