Satanist leads prayer at city council meeting

[Wildswanderer]

Oops you avoided addressing what I said. Now you've tried moving onto something else.

No I moved back to the original discussion.

 

[Guitar's Cry]

That doesn't make any sense.

Associating throwing salt over your shoulder with good things occurring is making a causal connection between two unrelated things.

Associating bad things happening to you from listening to someone is also an unrelated connection.

Nope. Not when it happens consistently.

 

[Guitar's Cry]

Out of curiosity, what are the bad things?

I really don't feel like airing my dirty laundry on a public forum.

I ask because one of the most powerful devices of a curse or hex is the target's own psychology, often resulting in them being hyperaware of bad things that would have occurred anyway.

Why should I care about society?
The only thing that matters is there's no such thing as right and wrong, is what I want.

There's no such thing as right and wrong? When the heck did THAT happen??

 

[Viker]

It's a recent development. There's no up or down anymore, either.

Ahhh...that explains a few things, actually.

That's what others are claiming.

I never said anything about a curse or hex.

 

[SkepticThinker]

No I moved back to the original discussion.

And then still didn't address my comments, and even cut them out of your response here. Why is that?

Right and wrong can certainly "mean something" even if subjective. I'm sure you think the rights and wrongs as supposedly dictated by the God you worship can actually "mean anything" despite the fact that they're also subjective (based on the whims of said God), right?

It doesn't appear as though you've thought this one through very deeply either.

What you've described is pretty much the same thing.

You haven't demonstrated that right and wrong can mean anything if they're subjective.

And that's the problem. Without more context your reasoning for not listening just sounds like superstition.

 

[lewisnotmiller]

That's what others are claiming.

Not from what I read. I think it's more a disagreement on whether they're subjective or objective.

Subjective morality can change at any moment. It's not real.

Why would you listen to the being whose job is to deceive destroy you?

 

[SkepticThinker]

Nope.

Yep.
