The great enemy of morality is indifference.” — Albert Schweitzer

"only an arrogant asshole thinks he is fit to decide what is moral for anyone else." - smitty

i'm not indifferent just because i don't get outraged over, well, absolutely nothing.

my morals tell me that we need to ban assault weapons before they kill any more school kids or people shopping for groceries.

my morals tell me we should do everything we can to protect this planet before it's too late.

my morals tell me it's wrong to discuss my infant daughter's future legs and breasts.

my morals tell me it's wrong to grab women by the pussy.

my morals tell me it's wrong to make fun of a handicapped reporter.

my morals tell me it's wrong to mock gold star families.

let me know if you need more, since you're so big on "morals."

anyway, it's hilarious that you quoted albert schweitzer. know what else he said? it's a bit longer than one line with no context.

Our culture divides people into two classes: civilized men, a title bestowed on the persons who do the classifying; and others, who have only the human form, who may perish or go to the dogs for all the 'civilized men' care.

Oh, this 'noble' culture of ours! It speaks so piously of human dignity and human rights and then disregards this dignity and these rights of countless millions and treads them underfoot, only because they live overseas or because their skins are of different colour or because they cannot help themselves. This culture does not know how hollow and miserable and full of glib talk it is, how common it looks to those who follow it across the seas and see what it has done there, and this culture has no right to speak of personal dignity and human rights...

I will not enumerate all the crimes that have been committed under the pretext of justice. People robbed native inhabitants of their land, made slaves of them, let loose the scum of mankind upon them. Think of the atrocities that were perpetrated upon people made subservient to us, how systematically we have ruined them with our alcoholic 'gifts', and everything else we have done... We decimate them, and then, by the stroke of a pen, we take their land so they have nothing left at all...

If all this oppression and all this sin and shame are perpetrated under the eye of the German God, or the American God, or the British God, and if our states do not feel obliged first to lay aside their claim to be 'Christian'—then the name of Jesus is blasphemed and made a mockery. And the Christianity of our states is blasphemed and made a mockery before those poor people. The name of Jesus has become a curse, and our Christianity—yours and mine—has become a falsehood and a disgrace, if the crimes are not atoned for in the very place where they were instigated. For every person who committed an atrocity in Jesus' name, someone must step in to help in Jesus' name; for every person who robbed, someone must bring a replacement; for everyone who cursed, someone must bless.

that's from a sermon he gave in 1905. hmmmm... sounds like it still applies today. do you know anyone who "disregards this dignity and these rights of countless millions and treads them underfoot, only because they live overseas or because their skins are of different colour or because they cannot help themselves."? maybe somebody who refers to "shit hole countries"?

So, now — you’re offended by the Paris Olympics?​

Posted by Nolan Dalla on Jul 28, 2024

Many Christians say they were “offended” by a short skit performed during opening night of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The fallout still continues a few days later and has even triggered an unnecessary apology by the International Olympic Committee that was released today.

Never mind that so many Christians somehow worship an Italian painting that was completed in the year 1498 which absurdly portrays European-looking White people feasting smack dab in the middle of the Middle East roughly 1,470 years earlier. I’ll skip that for now.

Also, never mind that so many Christians lack any knowledge whatsoever of ancient mythology and global history–more specifically the celebration of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, food, and merriment, which was the real intent of portrayal. I’ll skip that for now, too.

Also, never mind that so many Christians are upset and angry about a short performance and joyous imagery lasted for all of about two minutes during a four-hour long opening night extravaganza filled with music and celebration considered by many all over the world as the greatest Olympic opening ceremony of all time. I’ll skip that, as well.

Oh, and I’ll also skip over tireless and never-ending Christian obsessions with superstition, ritualized threats of punishment and damnation, preposterous teachings designed to stoke fear and chisel out the obedience of followers, unparalleled graft and corruption, unspeakable abuses of every kind, overt sexism, historical justifications for racism and military conquests, open collaboration and endorsement of slavery, propaganda use for wars and killings, prophesies and promises of mass destruction, and its grotesque own internal history of hypocrisies. Please, yes, by all means — go ahead and be offended about something you don’t understand and don’t care to learn about. Oh look, there’s another meme. Oh look, there’s another post. Someone else pledged to boycott the 2024 Paris Olympics.

As if anyone fucking cares.

Well, in fact, I’M OFFENDED too!

— I’m OFFENDED that so many Christians are not offended by decades and centuries of sexual abuse inside churches and covered up by clergy, numbering in the millions–all over the world. Fact: Far more children have been abused by ministers, priests, church counselors, and flocks of Christians than trans people or other groups often demonized by religion. Where’s the outrage over that in conservative religious circles? Where are those memes?

— I’m OFFENDED that American Christians overwhelmingly support and vote for a serial lying, adulterous, felon and traitor who relishes acts of cruelty, revenge, and retribution and is the very antitheses of every lesson and commandment taught by religious scripture.

— I’m OFFENDED that as a taxpayer I’m forced to pay my money for churches that do not pay any taxes. I’m offended by having to subsidize the construction and upkeep of their roads, electricity, sewer lines, safety, fire protection, and other government services for churches and religious followers, who demand and receive total tax exemption for their hundreds of thousands of temples of superstition. If Christians want to get all sanctimonious and rally around a painting that looks to me like a picture of the Allman Brothers Band, be my guest. Just don’t ask me to pay for it.

— I’m OFFENDED that Christians are determined to indoctrinate young minds with forced prayer in schools, Bible scripture posted on the walls, and forced coercion and blind obedience to such a cruel, and often indifferent “god.” I mean…seriously. Have you looked at this guy’s record? Fuuuuuck!

— I’m OFFENDED that Christians have largely dominated our daily lives for centuries, including marching and praying along to the well-documented historical imposition of unspeakable horrors, discriminatory practices, prejudices, wars of invasion, forced conversions, and so many other evils and human suffering — yet when a short alternative artistic display of inclusion is showcased at the Olympics which includes members of a group they don’t like, that triggers so much hate and threats of a mass boycott.

Go ahead, be offended.

Actually, It’s YOU so-called fundamentalist Christian believers who are offensive to so many of the rest of us. The undeniably gory history and inexplicable practice of Christianity is what’s truly offensive.

well said, nolan, well said.

these white supremacists, under the guise of their version of christianity, are the worst of the worst. it allows them to be absolutely evil while telling themselves they're "doing god's work." and they can do all the evil they want, because they can just ask for forgiveness before they die.

The election was stolen. It wasn't a mob, it was informed people who are tired of the corrupt democrat politicians in our country. Not anywhere close to an insurrection as you lefties call it.

As for Nolan Douchebag he should stick to posting his picks, great fade BTW and out of politics.

you know you're in a cult when you can't even believe what you see with your own eyes. those nice calm fellas who were assaulting police officers were just backing the blue. into a corner. and the whole "hang mike pence" thing? they were just joshing. that wasn't a guillotine. it was a watermelon slicer. it was hot that january day.
