I hope there are no further questions regarding the ability of culture to define how people think and feel about .... anything at all. Especially those of us who fashion ourselves as deeply principled and virtuous. Ironically, such people will be the most arbitrarily programmable.

People need a moral compass, even if they don't steer a true path. For centuries in the Western world, we have used the Bible as the bedrock of that moral compass. With the increase in atheism and agnosticism, every man is prone to becoming his own king...IOW, there is NO higher authority than man.

When people build their moral houses upon sand, is it no wonder we have no principles set in stone? That what is right is simply the fad of the moment?

A primary tenet of communism is the eradication of religion, in favor of belief of the morality of the State.

They knew what they were doing...

With age has come, for me, a more practical appreciation of Christianity and how it keeps the masses in line to a much greater degree than newer ideologies. But those newer ideologies are all about taking a huge dump on Christianity. As they say, humans are born with God shaped holes in their hearts and they’ll be filled with something, one way or another.

I think it is fine to make the announcement, so people know what's going on.

I disagree. Keep it to yourself unless someone brings it up.

But to offer encouragement and tell her that's great is just ridiculous. It's becoming a fashion statement.

Well put. "A fashion statement."

I really think future generations will look back on this aberration and ask what the hell we were thinking.

Yeah, what 15-year old (regardless of gender sex whatever) isn't fucked up in some way?

And now, not only do you condone it, you promote, encourage and celebrate it.

In this case all of us are going to run into this kid, so I think it was appropriate to avoid uncomfortable situations.

For me it is an appreciation of the enrichment faith brings to the lives of a lot of my friends and acquaintances. I often wish I had a strong faith. I just don't. I think as you get older your stop thinking of it so much in terms of true or false, and more in benefits vs. drawbacks.

People like to be loved and encouraged and favoured.

If you give people extra love, encouragement, more opportunities, more appreciation if they say that they identify as a potato, many will say they are a potato.

The social opportunism theory of human thoughts and feels. It is very explanatory and predictive. It’s important to understand that those sorts of beliefs are held just as honestly as any other. It’s how we evolved. We’re not supposed to be self aware of our self-serving world views.

The redneck apostle, Thomas. I think I find more inspiration in him, than in any other.
