You may not agree with it, but I don't think anyone here is telling you to. |
Yes, however by saying 'may' in the section about the fallen Christian being more erratic due to lack of moral code, I note that not all Christians rely entirely on 'God' for their moral compass; and still yet others base it on the tenets of their religion and keep them with them all their life.
The irony is that of the person who puts their morals as being entirely created by their religion, and then of those people, those who would then point at me and declare me evil not because of my actions but because of where my morals come from. It is then revealed by the actions of such people if they lose their religion that their distrust of the more mundane moral codes followed by a disillusioning with their 'higher' moral codes leaves them with little to no morals left over, wheras if they had simply respected the moral codes of others and not artificially limited themselves they would probably be able to continue to avoid bad things even outside of their religion.
I apologize for the confusing wording of this sentence, but I wished to explain the unique case I mentioned. I don't usually do so because of how hard it is (even for me) to understand such a confusing case when stated explicitly like that, but just to show that I'm not going "Lol christians" there you go.
In truth, I believe all moral systems are created equal, as long as they are actually moral (obviously, any moral system which says killing people is good and such is excluded) and that I respect them all the same; my qualm is with those who belittle other moral systems without taking a good look at how they apply their own to themself in the first place.
I apologize if it seems to be mocking, for having travelled through the puebloan lands, I know well how much that sort of thing can harm people. Although editorial comment has its place, this topic isn't one of them, so feel free to note if I get a bit snarky at times--that's just due to the fact it's often my normal tone. @_@
Selene's post addresses some other notes to this accord; having been addressed, I do not need to re-mention that I was not out to mock anything in that post to begin with and so forth.
