Now? I'm getting it?
LOL
You are simply living on borrowed capital Solon. "Rational people" if they follow your monistic principles rationally, would be social Darwinists like Hitler and Stalin. They would say that "compassion" is for little girls and their dolls, and they would be honest and consistent in doing so. Evil, but honest. Unless you can justify compassion through reason, you have a self refuting and obviously false world view. Throwing in emotion just to temper the emotionally unattractive consequences of reason, destroys reason and in it's wake, all you are left, is Opinion, preference and feeling
Oh that now, you would "get it"
"all life is interdependent and reflective of a greater whole. This leads to a regard for all life and a tendency to see what hurts self or other as "wrong", and what alleviates pain and encourages happiness as "right"."
In fact just the opposite is true. Atheistic Monism, rather than elevate creation to the level of Humanity, destroys the uniqueness on Humans and bring us down to the lowest common denominator. Hence you have music groups that name themselves "Garbage".
How far is that from Auschwitz?
I'd say it's just a box of kleenex away. |
