From where should the guidance come?

For me, it’s the collective knowledge that humans have accrued over the generations.

Good answer. Gods do not fit into the category of knowledge.

 

[devildavid]

christian civilization is the basis of the modern world

No, it isn't.

Rate us...how are we doin'?:2razz:

Well, at the moment, I would say things aren’t as rosy as they once were. However, still lots of hope in the world. We aren’t headed for Armageddon just yet.

Now, be honest...do you really believe that?

Now, be honest...do you really believe that?

Am I concerned? Yes, for sure. Very concerned. Honestly though, yes, I truly believe we will get through all of this. Compared to the Black Death, Mongols, and the Ice Capades - this isn’t all that bad.

lol...so if this is humanism, why hasn't it been accomplished yet? We've had 1,000's of years and still, the world is worse than ever...

What an odd thing to say. In terms of disease, longevity, number of wars per capita, prosperity, etc... the world has never been better off than right now.

And we've had 2000 years of Christianity, and all it has brought us is pestilence and war, so "you should talk".

why should any one not? worried about a nuclear exchange a bio weapon or out of control nanobots or ai or something?

 

[blarg]

Because faith is natural to man. If I thought like you, my mind would have been terribly corrupted somehow along the way. Why that didn't happen in such a way, God only knows. I'm just grateful.

You had me at Black Death and the Mongols, you didn't need to pile the Ice Capades on...

Re: what Christianity gave us

Nah- that’s all from the pagan Greeks and Romans. Christianity just brought us a 1000 years of the dark ages- something that we only got rid of when started putting religion aside and looking back again at Greco-Roman culture.
