@TDisputations That cuts both ways. Catholics once widely regarded slavery as morally permissible, despite the Church now condemning slavery. So historical prevalence of a moral intuition doesnβt establish its truth, whether about slavery or gay sex.
@catholiccom Just as you "explain away" miracles in other religions? Right?
Perhaps there are perfectly cogent, naturalistic answers to alleged miracles claims. As much as you think differently, your religion isn't special in this regard.
@majestyofreason@RandalRauser You were comoletely unconvinced of natural law arguments just a few months ago. Your dogmatic adherence to catholic principles is extremely disconcerting given your past convictions, which were carefully reasoned.
@whaaswijk@emuse1955@Philip_Goff Modernity has come to a near universal consensus that slavery is wrong. The church permitted it and did not see it as evil.
@goingawoll I think the biggest misfortune is him submitting to beliefs that he so clearly is not convinced of. E.g. Natural law, ECT idea of hell, ect. To me, it seems like intellectual suicide. Regardless, I hope he finds peace.
@romlib_ His evaluation of these "miracle" claims seem devoid of his usual rigor. It doesn't take much research to find serious errors with these claims.
