Hey everyone, here are some news from the FBI: According to reports on the alert, the bureau received unverified information suggesting that in early February 2026, Iran potentially aimed to launch a drone strike from a ship near the U.S. coast, targeting unspecified California locations if the U.S. initiated strikes.

Anything which is immoral

fleet scroll
#

how do you know it’s immoral?

shadow ermine
#

Morality is objective, our consciences serve the purpose of helping us understand the moral laws which are engraved within all of us

#

To answer your question: thru conscience

fleet scroll
#

i’m not understanding. how does “conscience” mean being gay is immoral?

shadow ermine
#

Being gay isn't immoral

#

Doing gay things is immoral.

#

People can't help being gay

fleet scroll
#

oh i see. how does conscience mean having romantic and intimate fulfillment as a gay person is immoral?

shadow ermine
#

"Romantic and intimate" implies that sex will be a part of such a relationship. And gay sex is immoral

fleet scroll
#

why is it immoral?

#

sorry for all the questions, i’m just hoping to learn from a christian

shadow ermine
#

Not only is it very very unnatural , it is very painful, and deals with sacred secretions and excretions (feces and blood) which should be avoided

fleet scroll
#

hmm

#

saying it’s unnatural doesn’t make sense from a biological perspective. over 1500 species (including humans) have gay animals

shadow ermine
#

Just because it happens doesn't mean it's natural, though :/

fleet scroll
#

what does natural mean to you?

shadow ermine
#

The way God intended things to be

fleet scroll
#

that’s an… interesting definition

#

i would define it as “exists within nature”

shadow ermine
#

What then, is unnatural?

fleet scroll
#

something that exists outside the laws of physics or consistent observation

shadow ermine
#

Is bipolar disorder natural in people, given your definition?

fleet scroll
#

yes

#

the name “bipolar disorder” isn’t, but the symptoms described by it (the condition itself) are

#

humans have socially constructed a lot of things

shadow ermine
#

Eh

fleet scroll
shadow ermine
#

Anything that deviates from what God intended

#

For example, um

fleet scroll
#

no i mean what do you think bipolar disorder is, if not natural?

shadow ermine
#

Hacking, or virus creation, or human experimentation

#

Oh, yea you have a point

#

I suppose bipolar disorder is generally natural

fleet scroll
#

would you say that’s a good definition?

shadow ermine
#

Not quite

#

For example medical technology is fine

#

Saves lives

fleet scroll
#

is medical technology natural?

#

of course it isn’t

shadow ermine
#

Well it's not unnatural

#

Kind of neutral

fleet scroll
#

i think your definition of unnatural needs some work

shadow ermine
#

Yeah, I mean I haven't written at length on it or anything

#

Nor read

fleet scroll
#

because for non-christians, they don’t care what a god they don’t believe in says. it’s the same as saying “things that aren’t as Zeus intended”

shadow ermine
#

Was just answering a question as best I could

#

You really equate Greek mythology to Christianity?

fleet scroll
#

well christianity is abrahamic mythology, not greek

i was just citing an example of a god that neither of us believe in so you understand the comparison

shadow ermine
#

Well, Western, english-speaking Protestantism is confusing af. But it's enough to develop some reasonable faith

#

I am still wondering if I blame the West itself or the morality of individuals for the rise of atheism in the West

fleet scroll
#

the lack of belief in a god isn’t moral or immoral

#

it’s amoral (morally neutral)

shadow ermine
#

That's not what amoral means, but I know what you mean

#

Please look up the definition. No worries, happens to the best of us

#

I wasn't saying that

#

I was saying, immoral people go thru mental gymnastics when it comes to their vices

#

Rejecting God being one of them

#

I'm not saying this is you

#

The West's Christianity is frustratingly... Confusing

#

But this is what sometimes happens

fleet scroll
#

i don’t think i’m immoral nor “justifying vices”

#

i don’t believe in any gods, and i am gay

#

there is no moral weight to either of those things

shadow ermine
#

Im saying it's the implication

fleet scroll
#

what implication?

shadow ermine
#

There are gay Christians. Implication: that they reject God because they want to sin freely

fleet scroll
#

i see

shadow ermine
#

In fact, most people are a least a bit gay. I know this because I am straight, and I am very very rare

fleet scroll
#

that’s an interesting assumption

#

would you say i’m going through any mental gymnastics?

shadow ermine
#

I don't know, I don't know you very well

fleet scroll
#

i guess the part i’m struggling with is why should non-christians abide by what christians claim is moral/immoral?

shadow ermine
#

I wouldn't advise leaning on Western values. But morality is objective. I would encourage people to learn the Christian values of Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania

#

The West is a bit of a crazy environment.

fleet scroll
#

let’s say, hypothetically, that we find out for certain that no gods are real. does your objective morality still exist?

honest drift
#

hmm

shadow ermine
#

What is morality to you?

fleet scroll
shadow ermine
#

Oh, I didn't see the message

#

One sec

#

I'm not sure. I don't know what kind of world that would be

fleet scroll
#

well, there’s a problem.

#

if the objective morality does still exist, then it means no god or gods are necessary for morality

#

if it doesn’t exist, then it isn’t objective because it’s dependent on a mind

#

and it either exists or it doesn’t exist, there is no third option

shadow ermine
#

I'm aware of the argument. If P, necessarily Q. Actually P, so necessarily Q. But this is a bit deeper than rigid logic

I personally believe although I am not personally a homosexual, that doesn't mean they still aren't humans who have rights and emotions like the rest of us.

@fleet scroll I think the problem with your line of argumentation toward christian people is valid as displayed by audio some of us can be hateful, but that grouping is very toxic especially because I just wanted to share a website. I mean if we want to group homosexuals all its shown that 86% of people who sa (can't say the word or get flagged) happen to be homesexual, but that doesn't mean all homosexuals are evil sa'ing freaks just as some christian popes do really evil things, but that doesn't mean all popes are bad

supple halo
fleet scroll
#

ah, i’m not talking about it in the sense of “being saved”

#

i’m talking about it in the sense of the nature of the action

#

as in, if something is sinful, does that mean it’s inherently morally wrong?

supple halo
fleet scroll
#

are lgbt actions sinful?

supple halo
#

I'd say a majority although in the view of homosexuality I believe intercourse would be sinful yes

pulsar delta

Omg Reddit atheist speaks

there are a few more hoops to jump through with your reasoning vs audio’s, but the conclusion is the same

Christians should overall have a positive accepting view of gay people but in the Old Testament sodomy is a sin but most people believe that most of the Old Testament is very very dated

well yeah, but I don't tell every homosexual / gay individual I encounter that "well erm according to the bible thats wrong so yeah your morally wrong" it's something I believe personally yes, but that doesn't mean i share that belief with anyone

fleet scroll
#

it’s still hateful even if you keep it to yourself

#

i’m just asking that you acknowledge that

supple halo
fleet scroll
#

sure i’ll rephrase for you

supple halo
#

I don't personally agree with smoking cannabis I think its a bad thing to do that really can only harm you, but I dont hate everyone who smokes

fleet scroll
#

it’s still anti-lgbt, even if you keep it to yourself

#

the problem that i tend to have is that a religious standard is used to morally judge people that don’t follow that religion

supple halo
#

your taking a logical leap moral disagreement and active hostility are not the same thing

fleet scroll
#

if someone has a racist belief and just “disagrees morally” about black people, are they racist?

supple halo
fleet scroll
#

well as an example in some christian sects, they believe that they’re offspring of the nephilim

fleet scroll
supple halo
#

It goes "well being black isn't a choice just as being homosexual isn't a choice"

fleet scroll
#

we can agree that the statement “gay intimacy is inherently morally wrong” is anti-lgbt, yes?

supple halo
#

I assume thats where your going no?

#

ah

supple halo
fleet scroll
#

there’s no such thing as “lgbt ideology”

supple halo
#

so what does being anti-lgbtq exactly mean

fleet scroll
#

anti-lgbt means beliefs or actions that are hostile or antagonistic to lgbt people

supple halo
fleet scroll
#

it’s definitely antagonistic

#

not necessarily hostile

#

you as an individual don’t have to be

#

i’m talking about beliefs and actions

supple halo
#

yeah exactly

fleet scroll
#

“gay intimacy is inherently morally wrong” is an antagonistic belief

supple halo
#

yeah but I think wording it like that is kinda tricky right? because sure in my world view my morality comes from christanity or a majority of my morals come from christanity, so for me that asserition is correct, but we live in a society where some people derive their morals from more secular methods so in that regard it isn't morally wrong its just sinful in my mind

#

"morally wrong" implies its universaly wrong which by nature of christanity isn't true because not everyone believes in it

#

so its morally wrong within my construct of belief yes, but universally its not morally wrong

supple halo
#

yes but theres nuance

fleet scroll
#

this is just a contradiction

supple halo
#

in my point of view yes it is but universally its not

#

that isn't a contradiction lol

fleet scroll
#

ok so then from your point of view, is gay intimacy inherently morally wrong

supple halo
#

yes sure

fleet scroll
#

do you recognize then that your point of view is anti-lgbt

it doesn’t mean you as a person are anti-lgbt, just that belief

supple halo
#

sure that individual belief could be seen as anti-lgbt

fleet scroll
#

so then i was not incorrect for calling out the christianity in your bio, because you hold anti-lgbt beliefs because of it

supple halo
#

but that in itself is a contradiction no? I just asked for advice on a website which had nothing to do about how I felt about your sexuality, infact prior to this whole argument I never once asked for your sexuality even though you have an interesting profile picture, your projecting your distain toward christanity on people who litearlly have 0 reason to argue with you

fleet scroll
#

no contradiction. i just simply don’t help people that have anti-lgbt beliefs

#

i hold disdain towards christianity because it leads to people having anti-lgbt beliefs they wouldn’t have otherwise

supple halo
#

I see what you mean, but that still doesn’t apply to me. I may hold personal moral beliefs influenced by Christianity, but I don’t act antagonistically toward LGBT people. Disagreeing morally with actions is not the same as promoting hostility or being anti-LGBT.

fleet scroll
#

there’s nothing morally to agree or disagree with regarding gay people or adults having consensual relations with other adults

#

it’s neither morally good nor bad. it just exists

#

making a moral claim about it when none is warranted specifically to say that it’s inherently morally wrong is anti-lgbt

#

we went through all of this nonsense for you to try to explain to me why my assumptions weren’t justified

#

just for you to justify my assumptions in the end

#

you can have anti-lgbt beliefs without acting on them. it’s still anti-lgbt

supple halo
#

By that logic, anyone who holds any moral view you disagree with is a bigot just for holding it privately. You're not saying I treated anyone badly you're saying my internal belief system makes me anti-LGBT. That means you think people don't have the right to their own moral convictions unless they match yours. There's no tolerance there your demanding ideological conformity.

fleet scroll
#

no sorry, the standard for being anti-lgbt is not “i disagree with it.”

that’s a pretty pathetic strawman

supple halo
#

You literally proved my original point I came for website help, not a theology debate. You made my religion the issue not me.

fleet scroll
#

i also did not say you as a person are anti-lgbt

supple halo
#

so you just assume I am and therefore spread hate?

#

"im not helping you because your christian"

#

i mean come on like this is the logic thats holding us back here

fleet scroll
#

and i was correct

supple halo
#

So you judged my beliefs based on my religion before I said anything. That's the definition of a stereotype. You were "correct" only because you interrogated me until you found something that fit your assumption. You had no insight that's a self fulfilling prophecy.

fleet scroll
supple halo
fleet scroll
#

if you want a leg to stand on, you shouldn’t have anti-lgbt beliefs lol

#

it completely undermines your “outrage”

supple halo
#

The order of events matters. You refused to help me first, then justified it after. That's still prejudice even if you later found something to confirm your assumption. A prejudice that turns out to be correct is still a prejudice.

fleet scroll
#

ah yes, you’re the real victim

#

not all the lgbt people that suffer because of christianity

supple halo
#

your deflecting

fleet scroll
#

there’s no deflection. it’s also not prejudice. anti-lgbt beliefs are baked into christianity by default

supple halo
#

this is a endless circle of hate if you keep acting the way you do, only the responsible people like myself who are accepting end this, your prejudice and hatred toward christianity makes christians more likely to share the same belief back

supple halo
fleet scroll
#

it’s not endless. the onus is on christians to ditch the belief “hate the sin, not the sinner”

supple halo
fleet scroll
#

if the “core part of their theology” is anti-lgbt beliefs, absolutely

#

i’m still treating you like a person. i’ve never done differently

supple halo
fleet scroll
#

sure. i don’t help people that openly display their christianity because they overwhelmingly have anti-lgbt beliefs

supple halo
fleet scroll
#

in fact, i get in disproportionately more trouble for asking muslims how they feel about gay people

supple halo

because muslims are generally marginalized in the west

and then say "im not gonna have you because your gay"

our situations aren’t the same. you don’t seem to understand that

Then explain how they're different. Because from where I'm standing, both are refusing to help someone based on an identity they openly display. The only difference is which identity it is.

fleet scroll
supple halo
fleet scroll
#

again, you’re pretending our situations are the same, and that you have a leg to stand on

#

my opposition would not exist if discrimination from christians didn’t exist

#

let me give a comparison you might understand better

#

let’s say one country invades another, and the natives of that country oppose the invaders by default

would that opposition exist if the invasion never happened?

supple halo
#

That analogy only works if every Christian is an invader. But I'm not. In your own analogy you'd be refusing to help a civilian from the invading country who had nothing to do with the invasion. That's collective punishment, not justice.

Holding a private theological belief is not a weapon. A weapon is actively harming someone. I came to you for website help. That's it.

it’s been there from the start, the difference is when you go all the way back it was about social status depending on whether you were the “giver” or the “receiver,” with being the “receiver” heavily stigmatized. this same belief and stigma was also held in ancient greece and ancient rome

ultimately a much more important christian belief than believing gay intercourse is a sin is that you would accept even people who would have gay intercourse

#

mary magdelene jesus best friend was a prostitute

#

the belief moreso stems from anti lgbtq households believing that the bible calls it wrong and not questioning at all the actual idea of it because they believe everything in the bible is bond

Deuteronomy 21:18-21
New International Version
A Rebellious Son
18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.

no one believes this

these were rules written not by God or Christian scholars but already in place at the time due to very archaic thinking and idealisms

fleet scroll
#

i think we agree that jesus mentions gay people zero times

pulsar delta
#

If I remember correctly the New Testament mentions gay people zero times

fleet scroll
#

i’m on your side in this regard. christians cherrypick constantly

#

there’s still the bigger problem of “it hasn’t been demonstrated to be true”

pulsar delta
#

The story of Jesus coming to die for sins and religious purviews of acceptance of even detestable people much further develop Christian beliefs than something like an old testament quote thats out of ocntext

#

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

#

when being killed

fleet scroll
#

why, from your view, was jesus killed?

pulsar delta
#

for being a false prophet in the eyes of romans

fleet scroll
#

i see. what are the results of jesus being killed?

pulsar delta
#

in christian view he died so that the idea of sin could be accepted

fleet scroll
#

what does that mean?

pulsar delta
#

that a man who had "not sinned" (everyone sins) was able to take the blows of sinners because ultimately he loved them

fleet scroll
#

and what’s the significance of that? what changed after his death?

pulsar delta
#

Uhh modern christianity was developed and the outdated ideas of most people were further accepted and in a historical concept the people using the bible to cherry pick things were ultimately challenged by people who thought it was unfair

fleet scroll
#

so after jesus died, gay intimacy is no longer considered a sin?

#

as in, people can engage in the act and it’s not considered sinful

pulsar delta
#

I don't feel like something u are naturally conditioned to do is as inherently sinful as some people but the idea is that even if it was a sin you could be accepted and other people could accept you nonetheless

fleet scroll
#

my issue isn’t over acceptance because that’s up to individual interpretation

#

my issue is with whether or not it’s considered a sin in the first place

The dropdown tiles are fake, either they're solid concrete, or when removed, reveal a sheer concrete surface flush along the tiles, meaning there's no upper area. or the tiles function as normal, and give way to an upper area that's just as confusing to navigate as below?

pulsar delta
#

I mean sodomy is a sin in the bible according to outdated beliefs in the old testament but not everyone believes in the bible

#

Everyone is a sinner

#

what would change about it and ppl being openly persecuted besides the fact that there was a person who said look its okay to forgive sinners

fleet scroll
idle rain

pulsar delta
#

alienation from God which is why ppl would tell you that in the bible there is some context of belief for it being a sin

fleet scroll
#

i see. if something alienates you from your god, is it inherently good, inherently bad, or neutral?

pulsar delta
#

Depends fully on who you ask!! there are multiple sects of christianity that believe different things

#

protestants believed you are fully saved from the concept of sin when you accept the teachings of Jesus and Catholics believe you are punished for it and then ultimately brought to God even if you didn't believe in the concept of christianity at all because no morally good person should be punished so severely

#

Catholicism is more based on "detestable acts" rather than forgiveness of sins so I will argue a little more based off that because it seems to be what you enjoy

fleet scroll
#

i’ll be more direct instead of asking roundabout questions

#

the issue i have, fundamentally, is that there is any room at all for anti-lgbt interpretations

#

the second issue i have is that none of it can be demonstrated to be true

pulsar delta
#

Ya which is why i said its considered a sin by ppl who believe in the bible but not everyone believes in the bible

#

But its outdated

#

no christian sect fully believes that if you are a gay man your entire life that you should be so separated from God that you are not "saved" in the context by belief or in Catholic context by being a good person overall

fleet scroll
#

well that’s not true

#

i’ve talked to numerous christians that believe that if mustache man repented before he shot himself, he’d be forgiven

#

but a gay person is still destined to hell regardless of whether or not they were a good person otherwise

if someone believes that in all christian contexts then they are wrong because innocent murder is probably one of the most detested things from point A of the religion

Republicans lie about everything constantly in order to get what they want lol

they conducted one of the largest studies on gender affirming care ever in utah, and then just threw the study out when it didn’t agree with their narrative

#

I think in the context it’s more social power with religion being an easy excuse to sway lots of people because there aren’t many bigger sinners

#

I believe shit like that about the Pope too lol it’s the ability to actually question the basis of religious people’s thoughts vs the actual foundation of religious beliefs

fleet scroll
#

religion is mainly just a tool to control people

pulsar delta
#

Here I disagree I think it’s a concept observed in most societies as a basis to establish moral foundation and the idea of existence

#

Modern day u can completely argue and be right that some religion is a tool used to control people

fleet scroll
#

i have a problem with that notion. most of the “moral truths” christianity claims to assert were present long before it ever existed

#

laws against stealing and murder, the concept of marriage, etc

pulsar delta
#

I’d argue it’s considered immoral in most societies with a religion

#

You can just observe it through cultures that would have no prior basis of communication with each other

#

As with some other interesting things, like pyramids being a shrine to a God through Egypt Indonesia and and Aztecs

fleet scroll
#

weren’t pyramids tombs rather than shrines

#

in egypt

pulsar delta
#

Egyptians believed their leaders were divine beings which goes with what you said as it being a tool used to control people

#

It’s a bit of both social conceptualism of what I would only describe as “natural laws” and the use of religious ideas to further it

#

Ppl believe in their gods being in the sky or made of the land

#

Often observed in stuff like Native American cultures is the idea of both having a god and being openly accepting to the idea of homosexuality and transgenderism so you can really only think of it as rules already in place like you said

#

But that leads to the New Testament opening new ideas and the concept of faithful forgiveness

#

That’s why I call the Old Testament so outdated and focus more on the overall religious beliefs of most Christians being founded in the New Testament

#

*idealistically

#

You would see the disavowal of homosexuality as a result of certain cultures and practices and not as an overall natural belief (both homosexuality and transgenderism are obviously naturally observed traits)

Ok

#

Polish Bible does not have the same content as the western English Bible. The English old testament is insane. I see why they don't consider it viable

#

90% of Poland is Christian

#

Does that mean 10% of Poland is homosexual? No. I would imagine that Poland has the same distribution as any other country.

#

I said that to say, you may even like the Polish Bible @fleet scroll

#

It teaches Love. And you will be loved

thoughts? @pulsar delta

shadow ermine
#

Not your existence, again, just the sin

#

I will admit it's unfortunate. It would seem that you are called to live a life of celibacy

#

I can't think of any alternative

#

@fleet scroll

fleet scroll
#

i can think of one: rejecting the nonsense and continuing to try to live a peaceful life

shadow ermine

:/

#

I think we won't see eye to eye if we disagree on moral realism, the soul, and free will.

fleet scroll
#

we won’t see eye to eye because your religion that you want me to follow would require me to go the rest of my life without a meaningful relationship, which i’m definitely not interested in

Thx have a good day I think argument pretty healthy both sides and views

#

It’s good to talk to people with different opinions

shadow ermine
#

Life is very difficult. This is hard stuff. Would you rather live as a hedonist or a stoic? A nihilist or a humanist?

#

@fleet scroll @warped pelican

#

I have some of the most unbiased talks of my religious life with Islamic scholars who believe much diff things

fleet scroll
#

i’m a secular humanist consequentialist

that’s a mouthful, basically just saying “equitably maximize human wellbeing and minimize suffering, using evidence-based outcomes to determine wellbeing vs harm”

shadow ermine
fleet scroll
#

“evidence-based outcomes” are not compatible

#

they did a study to see if prayer is effective, and found that participants that were prayed for had the same if not worse outcomes

#

but they still pray anyways

shadow ermine
#

Well, to be precise, Christian ethics are based in virtue ethics, Christian based deontology, and natural law. Not much of a basis in consequentialism, but I said it is merely compatible with Christian values.

warped pelican
#

if Gods plan is perfect, does prayer change that plan? if yes then his plan isnt perfect if no then whats the point of praying

shadow ermine
#

Most versions of consequentialism are not compatible. Like egoism, "ends justify the means", etc.

fleet scroll
#

which is why i specified secular humanist consequentialism and defined exactly what i meant by that

shadow ermine
#

I stated it is compatible in hopes to find common ground

#

You obviously have at least some interest in morality

#

Or am I mistaken?

fleet scroll
#

i do, but you just left the earlier issue with objective morality unaddressed

#

so i didn’t see a point in continuing
