I need to prepare an acceptance speech!
Evidence? Think back through history, I don’t know a point where Christians deemed non-Christians satanists. Heathens, sure. Satanists? The real ones are a special kind of group.
I had the misfortune of meeting one once. He wasn’t an atheist, he was a satanist and I found him appropriately frightening. We were polite when crossing paths, otherwise I stayed away from him.
You would have not been born yet.
I never told you where I get my world viewpoint, so how would you know? Even most atheists don’t believe in moral relativism because it’s a broken system.
For instance, in NAZI Germany, under moral relativism, what the nazi’s did was perfectly morally ok, because nazi society agreed with it. But was it ok? Was it morally right, simply because the majority was fine with it?
The answer is of course not. There are many more examples through out history demonstrating the same thing over and over. Just because it’s ok with the society, does not make it morally ok.
I don’t know what your deal is with religion and trying to bring it up all the time. I am not setting you up for anything. Having a discussion, that’s it.
If you want to throw religious histrionic fits, go crazy. I haven’t brought it up.
I have learned long ago to reserve religious conversations for calm people who have true curiosity on the subject. Not as a weapon in an argument.
Accusations against groups of being satanists, is not the same as ‘coining the phrase’ I.E. inventing it.
The church of Satan, or those who practice Satanism worship Satan.
The Satanic Temple is an atheist organization that promotes equal representation of religion, or mostly promotes a secular society free of religion. They promote the former when the latter is not likely to happen.
Not talking about them…
Lol you think the group that invented Satan isn’t responsible for coining the phrase satanism…? When they’re the ones that started using it first…?
I see where you are going with this and I am not going to engage further about it…

That’s an overly simplistic, and incorrect, view of moral relativism and the Nazis.
Lol of course you do. My 8 year old could see the connection. It’s pretty blatant.
Best of luck with the gymnastics though lol
Just not getting into a theological discussion, that’s all.

You bumped the thread to say this? Especially when you started by attributing moral relativism to me as if I ever said such a thing. Go back and check who said it first and when. You laid it on me and I have no desire to debate positions you put on me.
Yeah I don’t think you read much of my posts then. I don’t think I’ve started a thread about religion before but you have. I don’t bring it up all the time by any means. People have more posts about it than me in this very thread. It’s a thread worthy of bringing it up as people’s religions keep them from wanting sex ed taught and using contraceptives. Two things that decrease unwanted children and abortions.

No way. Satan is probably atheists fault.

Sorry Pat, but you have a habit of talking about things you don’t understand. Most, if not all, christians believe in moral relativism. If they didn’t, they would throw their Bibles in the trash.
