What is right is based on morality isn’t that the discussion we’re having?

broleaf [3140943]

It's quite simple: you have your contemporary ethics, and I have my spiritual and traditional ethics. I've already explained where mine are derived from. What is right is dependent on the age of spirit; what is right is based on power.

On my cellphone atm.

Capgros [2088627]

The age of spirit in your country, is not really based on religion anymore.

Seems you are just living in the past

broleaf [3140943]

The rise of reactionarism without any spiritual or moral grounding poses a danger to human life, unless the society is more or less homogeneous. Atheist traditionalists may clash with other atheist traditionalists. Christianity binds the two in harmony under spirit.

Capgros [2088627]

You're absolutely wrong, there is spiritually besides organized religion, you make a logical fallacy here

For instance, the fact that every living thing has evolved from one organism, means all living things on the earth are somehow connected, that's actually more beautiful than everything religion stands for in my eyes.

broleaf [3140943]

My atheist spirituality, lol.

broleaf [3140943]

Yes, there is. If you go outside the contemporary context and base morality on tradition rooted in the past rather than the future, you have officially anchor yourself.

Who’s tradition exactly?

broleaf [3140943]

I suppose that depends on the individual. I wonder what would happen if the Enlightenment began to collapse, and everyone started to return to their traditions. Hmm...

Fistyboy [1733255]

Then if it’s based on an individual basis what gives anyone the right to question another’s ability to conceptualize morality?

broleaf [3140943]

Individual might be too simplistic, so I'll expand that. I base it on one's ancestors. In my case, I am Scottish and Christian. I derive my traditions from that.

Capgros [2088627]

You have older ancestors, that weren't neither.

Another unironic reason why Christianity is important: a Scottish pagan might clash with a Scottish Christian, and the extent to which you base the tradition could vary. Christianity is grounded in time with a consensus. I love orthodoxy because it's unchanging. So, yes, even members of the same ethnic group could bicker regarding where the tradition should be based. The end goal is to strive for harmony in contrast to chaos.

Fistyboy [1733255]

But you live in a society of varying ancestry. So should you impose your morality on others or have others impose theirs on you? If morality should be based on tradition of course

broleaf [3140943]

A positive aspect is that we have Christianity to patch together that framework, being the higher-regarded tradition over the ancestral one. Without it, the rise of the Dark Enlightenment could be quite dangerous, as I'm sure you can see. We would be reduced to tribalist chimps, murdering each other, I'm sure, in short order. Kek.

When the Enlightenment collapses, so does the shoddy, illogical framework that bound that society together. Food for thought.
One could argue that atheists are the biggest danger to human life in the change in age of spirit.

Fistyboy [1733255]

So morality should be based on Christianity and anyone who doesn’t believe Jesus is their lord and saviour should have Christian morals imposed on them?

broleaf [3140943]

What is right is irrelevant.

you said yourself, it depends on the spirit of the time, and obviously, the time for Christianity is running out, it's not a problem, after all, it's just a small part f human history, a pretty bloody one though. Something new will grow from it, as it always did.

We've been living in the anti-tradition era, also known as the Enlightenment, for 300 years. I think you fail to grasp the fact that this era is now ending, hence the rise of the far right.
