we already know the do's and don't. of another country and culture not of our own. all without needing to be told that it is wrong.
I would recommend reading the first section (quarter to third, forget exactly how long) of C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity for a Christian perspective on this. Because he agrees on your premise about a set of morals which is widely accepted across many cultures, and discusses how he thinks that came about. (Of course, as you'd guess from the name of the author and book, he comes to a very different conclusion than your initial assumption of "I know we as humans made it up").
Yeah but if he's saying that from a christian perspective you and him are assholes.
C.S. Lewis is an asshole because he was Christian.
You're the gift that keeps on giving, man.
...is complete culture vandalism. and a literal white washing of other peoples religion and culture values.
I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt, but then you went and actually said "literally" which makes me think you are using "white" in the racial sense.
You do realize Whites and Christians are a very broad Venn diagram, right? Most Christians aren't white?
I like how you say you're not hateful, you're not racist, you're not a bigot. Yet all you do is spew ignorant nonsense due to your own preconceived notions.
We were talking about Christians, not whites. You still managed to completely miss the point. Also learn to spell.
...you took that one paragraph out of context to insinuate that i said only white people can be christians... very fascinating.
You said Christians were "literally" white washing culture. Why say literally? What did you mean, if not white in the racial sense? How else would you literally whitewash something? Aside from the racial context, the only other literal sense would be if the Christians were going around with buckets of white paint.
As to taking a paragraph out of context...it was a paragraph...and you only wrote one paragraph. Do you know what 'out of context' means?
depends. if asshole take things i said out of context.
There you go again. How am I taking you out of context? Do you know what that means?
Also, you're just hilariously unpleasant. I might mock you, but I don't call you names (often.) All you do is call everyone that disagrees with you assholes and other shit, and tell them to die.
I want the best for you. You want me to die. Who's the hateful one?
So, you claim to want a discussion about morality (which for the overwhelming majority of human history and for the overwhelming majority of human population is based on religion) but someone pointing you at a religious perspective on it is an asshole? You might as well say "I want to have a discussion on the history of sports, but anyone who plays or watches sports is an asshole if they want to contribute".
