i don't think that is the correlation. i think religion is like anything else in the world. it can be used for bad, and it can be used for good, it just depends on who is using it.

Religion is not based on morals, hence it can't possibly be used for good. The gods are hateful, vengeful psychotics.

well, morals don't achieve freedom, and neither does religion. and you don't believe in gods.

Why wouldn't morals achieve freedom?

You don't believe in gods, either. I simply believe in one less god than you.

do birds need morals to flock?

i'm talking about something more instinctual.

morals seem contradictory to freedom to me.

 

[(Q)]

Morals would release one from the psychotic ideologies of religions, giving them freedom of their minds from the slavery of cults.

You don't even know what morals are, how could they be contradictory?

Before I begin, I want to make it known that I am a firm believer in my Saviour, Jesus Christ. BUT I am not a part of the Christan religion.

I bet your mom and pop still make you go to church though.

first of all, morals are derived from religion.

secondly, they're rules designed to keep us in line, contrary to our inclinations.

that's not freedom.

 

[(Q)]

first of all, morals are derived from religion.

No, they are not. There have been ample examples provided from scriptures that belay your claim.

secondly, they're rules designed to keep us in line, contrary to our inclinations.

that's not freedom.

I personally have no inclinations whatsoever that run contrary to any laws deemed by society. If you do, that's probably a result of your religion and lack of morals.

So, there you have your evidence that morals are NOT derived from religion.

Well, to be more precise, it's more that morals don't have to come from religion, and some religions have moral codes at odds with current social mores.
