Got it. You equate different moral values with higher (or lower) moral values.I provide several peer reviews that religion has an effect on chemical codependency, but many times this means abstinence of alcohol or drugs all together.
Also, you argue, without substantiation, that the purported superior behaviour in regard to chemical dependency extends to all, or the majority of moral matters.
I'm not sure which logical fallacy that is, but is clearly wrong.
I've seen you use that phrase before. That clearly implies that Catholics are not Christians and making such statements is against forum rules.I can show where christians drink less alcohol than catholics per a peer review on the study
I believe I told you I couldn't find them and asked you to point me to them. Once I can study them I can properly assess what, if anything, I am arguing against, or for, or have a neutral attitude towards. (I take it you are familiar with the Socratic method.)I did provide some, now if you don't mind provide some for your perspective
Nevertheless they represent the real behaviour, historical and current, of persons and groups self-identifying as Christian, a religion which you blithely assert is morally superior to all others and to any moral code outside of religion.biased sample.
I am persuaded as to the moral quality of Christianity when Christians not only admit to failings, past and present, but actively seek to correct those failings. There are many fine examples of that on this forum, indeed at least one on this thread. I am much less persuaded by self righteous bombast.
The forum in general? I posted something on that a couple of weeks back, but can't locate it now. Very briefly, to discuss science related subjects, correct misunderstandings on those topics in which I have a measure of competence, to learn new things and to improve my casual writing. Also, and this is very important, to expose myself to alternate viewpoints and seek to understand the rationale behind such viewpoints. (And to point out, in cases important to me, why I might hold a contrary view. If you think such instances are "bashing Christianity" then you are not paying attention.)you say you are not here to bash christianity, then why are you here?
I assumed from the outset that you would ask an honest question. Although I am a sceptical sort, I am not predisposed to think members will ask me deliberately misleading questions (though experience has taught me that some do).Have you come to terms with the honesty of that question yet?
Not a problem. Thank you for taking the time on these.So excuse me if I can't use all of my work time answering your questions.
