Tuesday Sermon Leaving Westboro
Tuesday Sermon Leaving Westboro
Megan Phelps-Roper: Leaving Westboro
As I reference this talk I have to balance the publicity I am giving to a [former] hate figure whose celebrity is now due to them no longer being morally reprehensible.
In other words they had a position, call it an evil position, or an unthinking position or a position out of ignorance and now having reverted back to a normal where I define normal as generally accepted by Western Society, they get the credit.
If we can tally up all the hurt, the malice and offence that Westboro Baptist Church has pushed into the world, against the no doubt good that this video has done to redress the balance: Well Megan, IMHO I think a lifetime of apology and re-dress will not be enough.
To me there is a profound difference between say having a Religious viewpoint that by pretty much any standard has sought to cause harm and division, and that is now discarded....
And by contrast John W Loftus de-conversion from Christianity over time as he wrestled with the inconsistencies of the Christian faith. So if you missed my Sunday Sermon then stop watching the above and watch this instead!
John W Loftus: An Interview
Extra Homework Euthyphro Dilemma
(How can you be moral without God/ Surely Morality is defined by God)
Morality is not derived from God (first 2 minutes only)
Im pivoting again, but I was just asked [yet again] the question by friends: How can you be moral without God? Its an old chestnut of a question, and an old chestnut of an answer as given above.
