Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.
Arkouda@lemmy.ca 1 month agoThe first time something hurt me and I didn’t like it.
I did not say that.
You may want to answer my question “When did you learn that hurting was wrong and who taught you?” again considering you were a baby without definable consciousness.
There are, believe it or not, more things besides empathy that determine human behaviour. Weird, complicated creatures.
You are free to provide examples if you want me to agree with you.
That just means humans akso have an inherent wish to understand and explain things, even when they don’t have the necessary means yet.
Which means that spiritual and religious belief structures would have been required for us to advance to where we are today, which was my entire point, based on your idea of “inherent”. Even though again, nothing is “inherent” regarding moral belief.

People rarely learn stuff all at once but gradually and in stages.
I guess I won’t provide any examples then.
That does not follow from what I said.

If you have a point to make, make it. Otherwise go away if you aren’t going to engage in good faith discussion.

I have made my point, you just don’t want to accept it.

You haven’t made a single point. You have argued for “inherent” morality, which is bunk.
When I have tried to clarify, you refuse to answer questions.
So again, state your point in full below or jog on because I don’t even think you understand the point I have made quite clear and which you refuse to acknowledge by dodging my questions and points.
