Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» Do you equate RELIGIOUS with moral and SECULAR with immoral? Are all religious folks exceedingly good and all uns exceedly bad? Who sez so?
Considering the exceedingly large number of people who claim to have been abused by members of the clergy and other so-called "religious" persons, I would not consider being religious to automatically be moral. There are people who are not at all religious who have more morals than those who cloak themselves in religion to justify the immoral and illegal things they've done.
How do you explain the EVANGELICAL community having embraced endorsed accepted defended supported the world's most disgusting human being as their "guy"? I don't get it . They wrap themselves in the bible and the flag and their self-righteous demeanor to support the devil's right-hand. How do they sleep at night? Hypocrites. Fake phony tricksters. An abomination! The clergy outrages keep on coming. I think the church talks the talk but never seriously walked the walk. They all spent/still spend time lying denying defending hiding the truth and they still do. How anyone can believe anything any of them say is beyond me. Thank you for your reply L! :)

I wonder back in ancient times or caveman times who was the first person who said that? It is the most insulting and absurd thing to say. It comes from the "mind" of a charlatan not a straight-shooter. Politics is full of them. Sadly so are the churches. Where do we go to find those who don't say absurd things and expect us to buy them? Thank you for your reply L! :)
Different religions have different morals (though many agree on somethings and overlap on others.) Even within religions, differing sects have different morals.
Public enquiries and court records show that religious leaders up to 20% from every major religion in the world have transgressed their own morals.
Most religions acknowledge that all believers sin and the job of the faithful is to repent and reform (as many times as necessary to die with a clean conscience.)
I have met some devout people of all faiths who are sincere and live their lives with honesty responsibility, kindness and love - but I have to say it is far fewer than the number of atheists I've met who do the same.
My conclusion, there is no correlation or causal relationship between a person's faith and their moral behaviour.

Perplexing puzzling and very unsettling isn't it bw? They don't even have to say it. They live it. The 400 lb doc who tells you to lose weight because YOU are overweight! Or the person who smokes who advises you against smoking. What do you think of such people? What normal sane logical person would ever think anyone would buy it? BUT nothing succeeds like success! Enough folks will accept nonsense like that without even questioning it. I thank that is so very troubling and vexing. Acceptance without consideration investigation research verifying or even observing. The extremely stable genius sb prez famously said "don't believe what you see or hear. That is not what is happening". So how do you process that inane gibberish? His peeps only believe what he tells them to believe despite what their senses experience. Go figger! Thank you for your reply bw! :)
