    tried by a jury of my peers?

    So who determines equality? if a person is narcissistic no one would measure up. if I'm being tried then every juror should have an i.e. above 130 but not exceeding 150. So the question is at that point, who defines equality?

    tried by a jury of my peers?

    who can be considered my peers? Is that based on i.e.., social status, race, sex? I think america ignores that now and does that negate what we call justice? Is the government ignoring the constitution? If you were to face a trial do you think you could truly have your peers as your jury?

    Has everything been predestined since the dawn of time?

    Ah, but aren't we all nothing but organic computers? And just like computers we are programmed in our responses from the beginning.

    Has everything been predestined since the dawn of time?

    By environment I meant location on the face of the earth. I believe that if you could program all variables into a computer powerful enough to process it you could see the future completely. That would mean that the future is already set in stone, life itself is nothing except a massive...

    Has everything been predestined since the dawn of time?

    Well I don't follow the bible anymore but if genetics, environment, and childhood determine actions and reactions in the future choices, you don't have free will and that concept of christian belief is proven false. That doesn't influence our choices but instead everything sets us on the path to...

    Has everything been predestined since the dawn of time?

    A good explanation, however, what is the proof that anything is random? For example, if you decided to walk next to a cliff and a rock fell on your head and killed you would that be considered random chance even though the weather over a period of time caused the erosion that caused the rock to...

    Has everything been predestined since the dawn of time?

    Even mistakes would be considered predestined. For instance, mistakes are made due to lack of attention. If a person is too tired to pay attention to what they are doing then another individuals choice or your own choice has put you in that state of mind. Again, you would be predestined to make...

    Has everything been predestined since the dawn of time?

    I'm not too sure what that is but if it is what I've stated above what are arguments against it?

    Has everything been predestined since the dawn of time?

    So I was thinking today, isn't everything predestined? You start with a persons environment and childhood, how you are raised determines your future thought process and reactions to outside stimuli, and your genetic makeup determines the intellectual reasoning you use to react. The same applies...

    Grand theft morality

    Ah, but if you convince someone that there is no such thing as morality or immoral activity and that morals are simply designed to be the building blocks of laws that govern and prevent harm to society, if at that point they decide not to have any concern for said laws then you are partially...

    Grand theft morality

    Good point, however if you believe morality is subjective then ultimately morality doesn't exist as anything other than a code or limits a person places on themselves. In other words even morality at that point isn't a code for right or wrong but rather a code one places upon themselves for...

    Grand theft morality

    Doing anything for any reason without considering the consequences is immature and unintelligent. If he considered the risk and consequence and did it anyway, that is also self destructive and negates the idea that morality is subjective.

    Grand theft morality

    He isn't a Christian, he is a Taoist with a Christian background. He never got past the idea that the God of the Bible dictates morality.

    Grand theft morality

    Why does someone disagreeing with your moral code automatically make them immature or unintelligent. Not everybody matters to you, and not everybody who matters to you matters to everybody. I'm not saying that he was unintelligent or immature because he disagreed with my personal morals but...
