I don't know about that. Ethel made some good sense with what he said. I also just checked some dictionaries to see if any definitions actually refer to selfishness in that negative way and I couldn't find any. Could you perhaps provide a source to a dictionary that defines it in that negative way?

Deep hatred of freedom? Detachement from reality? Don't make me laugh. Neither of those statements describe me.Right-Wing Anarchy of Egoism wrote:The Flood wrote:Yeah? Why's that?
Your deep hatred for freedom and detachment from reality gives your kids bad influence. You can expect them to turn into timid drones driven by belief to fictitious writings. How about you think of your kids before scolding us about whose well-being to think about.
What will you do if you found out your kid's an atheist? Disown them? Maybe punish them a little bit?
The evil is implicit. Being solely devoted to oneself without regard for others is evil, that goes without saying. Do you need the definition to include a caption at the end saying "BTW selfishness is evil" for you to believe it is?The Flood wrote:Both of the definitions you just posted agree with what I said...
Nowhere in them was it said that selfishness is evil. Try again.

If my child was an atheist, I'd consider it my fault, I'd be a failure as a parent and would never forgive myself. I would not punish my child for my own failure; however they'd still be expected to follow the moral rules of my household while living in it.The evil is implicit.

It is not detachment from reality to acknowledge that 99% of atheists do not follow Christian morals. Your assertions are baseless.Right-Wing Anarchy of Egoism wrote:The Flood wrote:Deep hatred of freedom? Detachement from reality? Don't make me laugh. Neither of those statements describe me.
The anti-abortion, anti-euthanasia, anti-hate speech, anti-pornography, anti-promiscuity, anti-secular and anti-atheist views say the opposite. On the anti-secular part on your signature you promote "freedom of religion in all spaces and offices, including public buildings", which is exactly what secularism promotes, unless you actually oppose having religious freedom, which is yet another stone to toss at freedom. On the anti-atheist part you say atheism is a "morally dangerous ideology" even though all it composes of is one sentence, which is as follows: I don't believe in a god. Nowhere in that is morality mentioned even 'implicitly' as you so expertly put it regarding the evil of selfishness.
The anti-secular and anti-atheist parts show how detached from reality you really are.

This is not a complicated question. Simply put, when parents get divorced, children suffer. Be it through feeling that they are the cause, custody battles, weird boyfriend/girlfriends of parents, confusion, getting trapped in the middle of conflicts, etc. Is it selfish of parents to be divorced knowing this is true?
My parents were divorced when I was young, and still today, I get caught up in the conflicts that they have between each other over who has me when. I don't really care so long as I have a roof over my head, however, I'm a lucky one, many kids/teenagers do not have the luck of having two good parents in this case, I think that it is inherently selfish for parents to get divorced, however, it is often the better solution, what about you NSG?

The only things that don't have morals are things that don't have thoughts. In the case that perhaps it does say 'no morals' in my views page, it's a typo and it is supposed to say 'poor morals'.
