  • I just read it for the first time and the things that really stood out to me were the parts about Israel

    During these times, there will be an evil ruler in Israel who will wage war and cause cities to become desolate

    And

    The Antichrist will form an alliance with the ruler of Israel and will desire to occupy the coastal area. Where the author specifically calls out Gaza.

    This was last updated June of 2020, well before the October 7th attacks that led to the (ongoing) genocide

    (Edited for clarity)






  • The law is meant to be fair (which is a separate can of worms, but the goal is fairness). It is not meant to be moral, though it often follows what people generally consider to be moral, like don’t rape or murder people.

    And, honestly, using the “reasonable person” argument here goes against your point - it indicates that people with different morals exist, and therefore morality must be subjective.


  • Honestly this is a pretty big topic in philosophy. It could be argued that morality is a human construct and therefore must be subjective.

    Some people believe that not going to church each week is amoral, but some atheists think organized religion is amoral - who is right?

    You and I can agree that murder is immoral. Would that stance change if we were on the jury for a murder trial and, if found guilty, the offender would be sentenced to death? If that doesn’t make us murderers, what makes the death penalty an appropriate and moral punishment?

    Simply replying “false” indicates little to no thought on the subject or its nuance, and gives off strong “I’m 13 and this is deep” vibes
