Bridled Tongues

TheSire

I was in a recent conversation about whether profanity is inherently immoral. Here are some of the statements and questions that arose: If you can’t read this in violation of Matthew 15:10-20, Ephesians 4:29, Ephesians 5, and James 1:26, there is no rational grounds to reject ANY curseword given the “neutral” context. I hope you realize that when you reject bad words, then all words are now good? This means that he commits himself to the notion that words are inherently immoral. That certain words are immoral in any given circumstances to use. I think an example would show the … Continue reading Bridled Tongues

Misogamists and Misandrists

TheSire

But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 1 Timothy 2:12 You would think this passage is as simple to a third grader to able to read and understand… What part of “I do not allow a woman to teach…” do many do not understand? It is perhaps one of the most controversial verses (next to verses that say homosexuality is a sin) that many refuse to take for what it says. Instead, many continue to tap dance around this verse and say Paul the Apostle didn’t mean what … Continue reading Misogamists and Misandrists

Memes to an End

TheSire

I was asked to comment on a pro-choice meme. I don’t think abortionist are intellectual heavy-weights so this will be interesting. i) This is sneaking in the idea that consent makes sexual interactions perfectly fine. But that just presupposes Christianity is false. Fornication, adultery, and other such things can be perfectly voluntary and consensual. But it is obvious that we wouldn’t consider them ethical practices. Furthermore, we have thought experiments that undermine that intuition: A mother voluntarily choosing to have sex with Nazi guards in a concentration camp to protect her attractive daughter. That’s consensual but seemingly immoral. ii) It … Continue reading Memes to an End

The Book of Eli

TheSire

Recently. Eli Alyala had a conversation with a popular Atheist YouTuber Tom Jump. I’ll give my thoughts about this conversation. Others have commented about the conversations Tom Jump have had at other times. http://triablogue.blogspot.com/2019/03/is-there-no-evidence-for-gods-existence.html The conversation starts with the issue of the foundation of ethics(metaethics). Tom Jump is a moral realist that bases his metaethical view on the basis of human intuition and consensus. Eli presses on the issue of subjectivity. Many people don’t have those intuitions and completely different intuitions. So, why privilege Tom Jump? Why does his intuition have the final say? Tom responds that most people have … Continue reading The Book of Eli

Beta-Male Abortionist

TheSire

I’m going to share an edited version of the conversation I had with an abortionist over Twitter. Twitter isn’t the best format for these kinds of conversation. So, I have edited my statements to be clearer and left his alone. I also was asked to remove his name and he is fine with being referred to as Beta-Male from now on. The original conversation can be found here: Abortion is death penalty for the innocent. #AbortionIsMurder — Kris (@Kdubtru) June 11, 2019 And to be clear, I can’t get pregnant at all. Neither can you. Only a woman can get … Continue reading Beta-Male Abortionist
