@Thatspetarded@BeanSlushiee All laws are inherently enforced by violence. If you do not obey them, you will be punished. If you do not follow those punishments the severity climbs until you are physically made to take punishment. The Church set the laws and enforced them in much the same way we do now.
@Thatspetarded@BeanSlushiee The Church did use violence. Their influence and codex of rules was enforced by violence. Being declared a heretic was a death sentence, if you were a ruler excommunication meant you would soon be overthrown & killed. Not to mention crusades, inquisition, counter reformation, etc
@alyxisalyx Do you legitimately not believe greed is intrinsic? There have been observations in Chimp society displaying resource hoarding and greedy behavior. Obviously we did not evolve from Chimps and Bonobos don't exhibit this behavior, but greed has to have originated from somewhere.
@ScorpioDragon84 You can/could have done this study yourself at any times. Science is when you write down observations, all you have is hearsay. Make a counter experiment if you truly believe in your observed reality.
@Thatspetarded@BeanSlushiee It's not necessarily better or worse, but it's the truth. How do you think the Catholic Church imposed it's will over Europe for over a thousand years? Acting as if the might of those in power had no impact over that is just ignoring history. Religion was politics.
@halo2mappack Nah I completely agree with your point. That was the one and only example that came to mind so I felt compelled to share. It's also a weird case because the two adaptations came out within months of each other.
@Thatspetarded@BeanSlushiee If you believe Abrahamic faith is an extension of Zoroastrian thought, do you believe that enlightenment philosophy and separation of church and state are a further extension of Christian ideology? Our society is now built upon morals that do not rely on god for that foundation.
@AppLauncher_App@Sergeant_343@litteralyme0 These things are heavily curated and tend to be cross referenced. People's entire careers are devoted to identifying these documents. Fakes are found out immediately. If you think it's easy to fake a revolutionary era Newspaper or letter, try writing one lol.
@Thatspetarded@BeanSlushiee That was Moses no? Also do you think these things came from an isolated environment? The idea of objective good coming from heaven came from Zoroastrianism, which predated the Abrahamitic faiths.
@JoshuaMichaels2@2WordWisdom@DeanTTraining There is a genetic thing that causes them to taste like shit to a large portion of the population. It's tied to two specific genes, and if you have either of them, the flavors in artificial sweetener come across as bitter in aftertastes.
@erikOu812@Heal_within96 It's not an inherent evilness in "white people" you racist . It's an inherent evilness in people in general. Be better than the racists, it's pathetic to be scared of a race of people.
@rockisinfinite@MChief900@Sidera__ A sticker or art print is different from a playable character. If you actually think the two are equivalent, I don't know what to tell you. They do not restrict content from the books/movies themselves.
@rockisinfinite@MChief900@Sidera__ "Every industry does this"
There are not preorder bonuses for books, movies, albums, etc... what the fuck are you talking about?
