Figures.
This is not just a matter of what's comfortable. From a pragmatic perspective, what belief is the better impetus for morality?
No, you simply do not understand how language works. This is something that you should have learned in middle school or earlier. Words can, and often do, have more than one meaning. An equivocation fallacy occurs when you take one definition of a word or term and apply it to that word or term when clearly an alternate definition is being used. The fact that you do not like that alternate definition does not make it wrong.If I say a certain TV show was selected, I have a suspicion you would assume a human was involved. Selection assumes a selector.
It's a poor choice of words.
Shapiro is an obstreperous bigoted bellend. What Jesse Peterson might call a "beta."
The researchers found that a higher percentage of black and Latino Americans— 58% and 57%, respectively — supported teaching creationism in the classroom instead of, but not alongside, evolution. Only 44% of whites and 42% of other races felt this way.

I have never heard Ben Shapiro say anything bigoted and he doesn't call other people betas. Once again, the most targeted person of antisemitic hate in the country is being called names, just because he happens to be conservative.
I don't recall anything about his statements that would make me assume his opinions are based in Judaism specifically.
The difference is that the Bible condemns racism and slavery while the survival of the fittest, when applied to our own species, sanctions it.
Abolitionists frequently quoted the Bible to support their cause.
The only thing detrimental to society here, is bigotry towards gay people and women’s bodily autonomy.Ben Shapiro is the reason why I started reading the Bible. He gives a Torah lesson on his Friday show. It's because he's an observant Jew that he opposes abortion and gay marriage, which he sees as detrimental to society, but I've never seen any evidence that he hates gay people or women who have abortions.
Citation needed. When and where was Darwin's work used to justify slavery? And since slavery was pretty much dead in the western world when he published his work I do not see how it could have been used for that. Perhaps you are just angry because so many Christians used the Bible to justify slavery.A majority of blacks and Latinos support the teaching of creation in public schools:
Perhaps they know about how evolution has been used, ever since Darwin's The Descent of Man was published, to justify racism. Need I quote Darwin's own words again?
I don't have any slaves.Perhaps you are just angry because so many Christians used the Bible to justify slavery.
After all these years and you still do not understand your Bible It says that you can. It does not say that you should own slaves. I do not think that it says that you should not own slaves either. But by the standards used here when it comes to abortions, those that support the right to have abortions are called "pro-abortion" then by that standard the Bible is clearly "Pro-slavery". One needs to be consistent in one's standards without using special pleading fallacies.I don't have any slaves.
As a follower of the Bible, should I?
In your opinion?
If I decide to get one, will you fight for my right to do so?After all these years and you still do not understand your Bible It says that you can. It does not say that you should own slaves.
Only if you want to. After all, your world view justifies it.
(That is to say your god/Jesus never said not too.)
Should I be disappointed about that?Our laws prohibit slavery though.
