Evil thoughts?

Post #1

Post by historia »

Is it evil, or wrong, for someone to fantasize about molesting children if he never acts on it?

I'm curious as to what data you use to support this conclusion; some comparitive studies on morals perhaps?
I am talking about Christian Apologists, Christian "Philosophers," Christian Clergy, Christian Adherents and any other Christian ...
Understood. Do you have any supportive comparitive verifiable data or peer reviewed studies on " Christian Apologists, Christian "Philosophers," Christian Clergy, [and ] Adherents" so we can examine whether your conclusion that said groups {quote} "are the worst at Moral Values" ? In short can you support your claim with anything but personal opinion?
I'm curious...{snip : irrelevant}
The onus is on you to support your claim. I have made none.

How convenient. But, you will be sad to discover that you not accepting my claim doesn't make it untrue. Since you refuse to offer evidecne for your claims about God and Jesus, I certainly have no intention of providing you with anything.
You will just have to stew in the knowledge that Christians are, in fact, horrible at moral values - as proved by science and philosophy.

A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew
God gave a secret, and denied it me?
Well, well—what matters it? Believe that, too!”

That much is clear.

Glad you are quoting Hitchens and not the Bible. It's what one has to do to find true wisdom, as you attest by posting this quote.
If only you heeded it... ;-)

This quote applies to morality too. There is every bit of evidence that a society is better off with laws but there is zero evidence that murder is objectively morally wrong, and it's not the same thing.
