You're right, morality is an invention of man. If a man-made doctrine such as Christianity claims morality to be absolute, FAIAP it is. But even this is a perpesctive. Christians don't necessarily recognize the morality of other cultures, nor do other cultures recognize Christian morality. Some even see it as evil. So yes, of course, there's relavity. But that doesn't invalidate anyone's moralitry per se.


That is correct. Thanks for acknowledging that. I never implied that anyone's morality was invalid. You said morality was absolute and I disagreed. I did not say your morality is incorrect but that its impossible to be correct by its very nature. So moral relativity the only way too view live with some who does not share your own morality. All moralities' have their good points and bad points, just like all humans.

Sometimes I think it would be for the best if I just went away. I'm really surprised I have lived to be 46. Lost many family members to cancer, the last one just last year from brain cancer. If I could have traded places with him, I certainly would have!

Ridiculous. And blasphemy, too.

But I can't tell you how to live.

*sigh*


I said my mind, as in I'll figure out what's right and wrong, and leave "God" out of this process of my mind.

So true.

And pardon for causing offense, I've tried living it "God's way," turned out "God" was a bunch of different ideas, none of them right. To me of course. To each his own, I'm glad you're happy with your choice, as I am with mine.

Put a "K" in front of "no" and you'll have it.

Would I like to have a terminal illness? Absolutely not!
There is nothing I fear more than death, and nothing is more important to me than my own life. I wish I could live forever, and stay young forever...and being invincible would be nice aswell, but I would want to still be able to kill myself, just in case I change my mind after a couple thousand years. I would want to be immune to all fatal injuries caused by other people or by accident. Bullets would bounce off my head, and if someone dropped an atomic bomb on me, I would stay in one un-injured or at least healable piece...unless I was the one who (purposely) dropped it.
I wouldn't kill myself with a bomb though, because that would kill other people too.

If you were immortal, you would probably yearn for non-existence. Being mortal, makes life more fun. If you were immortal, you would eventually get bored. To me boredom is worse than death.

I have a terminal illness. It is called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. It is the bane of every hacker.

You don't write your posts very carefully so that's not surprising. You should write full sentences so people can understand you better.

"Doesn't anyone understand anything? Am I on Wrong Planet?"

I am on Mars btw so don't feel bad.

There are many, many, many things a person can do in this world, and there isn't enough time in a human lifespan to do even 1% of it. If I were immortal I would do everything...except for most crimes, most drugs, and I wouldn't injure myself on purpose...
