Ode to the Forgotten Few
No, we just had slavery, racial apartheid, oppression towards homosexuals and widespread institutional sexism (which still exist to varying degrees across the world) and a whole host of other obviously contemptible practices and standards. The idea that some mythical historical paradise once existed and no longer does is pure fantasy.KitKatMatt and Skavau
The thing is, back in the days there was no "my truth, your truth", no moral relativism.
In addition, I am not even speaking of "my truth, your truth" nor moral relativism. I am pointing out the obvious: That assertions about how to behave from Christian scripture have no relevance to an Atheist.
No, there was an *increased consensus* in specific nations that "Christ was". There certainly was though disagreements, dissent and even skirmishes amongst practitioners of this "Christ" about precisely what Christ was and what he wanted. Those feuds and disagreements amongst Christians still persist today.There was one objective truth that was Christ.
Moral Relativism has its flaws in the dismissal of human rights abuses in other cultures. I though, suspect that it not what you're referring to.Moral relativism is a new phenomenon and as of now we're reaping all it's "benefits".
Well, so long as you notice your flaws.To a person who has embraced this view a Christian usually sounds totalitarian which is probably the case with me when I'm saying this.
Today it's hard to understand even them, but we just don't realise how deformed our brain is from things like TV, PC games, modern "music" and so on.[/quote[
I say this with no irony whatsoever, but the internet and its backlog of information enables people, if they so choose to freely and easily increase their knowledge and remove their biases. I would wager, and I am not exaggerating that we are probably living in the most knowledgeable age of humanity.
Also, lol on "modern music and TV". I suspect you've not been keeping up or looking well enough to know a fraction of what you've missed.
