Morality used to be based (much like the American dollar) on a gold/God standard.
Since the later half of the twentieth century both have "floated" on the economy/culure repectively. And as a result we now can see both in a serous decline in value in the world.
The dollar may bounce back but the morality seems to be sinking at an ever increasing rate with no signs of recovery.
Rationalization and informational assumptions on both sides continue to punch holes in the ship of belief leaving the passengers with nothing to hang on to but what few peices are still afloat.

And there are sharks in the water. . .

Why should you worry, you have been good and are now prepared for your second life in his kingdom, oh don't worry about all the porn you have been looking at if you say you are sorry and mean it you will be let of. Us non-believers will continue to have a good time here and now because this is the only life we get and we are going to enjoy it.

 

Hmmm...a morality thread on a site devoted to videos depicting brutal gang fucking, cumguzzling and sodomy. Thats interesting...

 

In the United States the crime rate has declined since 1980.

Although the increase in illegitimacy is a matter of legitimate concern, the decline in the birth rate, both in the United States and internationally, has been a positive development.

 

What on earth makes you think I subscribe to your monotheist morality?

 

Why? Don't tell me you're stupid enough to think that a bit of paper with a signature on it means the parents will be better at raising children; we both know that's bullshit.

 

Children raised to adulthood by both biological parents living together in matrimony tend to do much better in life than those raised in other arrangements. Children are more likely to be abused by non relatives. Girls are particularly more likely to be sexually abused by step fathers, or the boy friends of their mothers.

Single mothers are more likely to raise criminals than married couples. One of the reasons is that single mothers have more difficulty controlling adolescent sons than a father would.

 

What makes you think the two are mutually opposed??

 

I don't ,I didn't invite you to comment ,why should I, I don't know you.
Why do you assume so much???

Are you saying that only theists have morals, or what?

 

You ARE stupid enough to believe that. Well if you're that big a moron there's no point arguing.

 

Hmmmm....here are some things that have happened since 1950 in the United States:

1. Passage of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and an end to Jim Crow in the South.
2. A decline in discrimination against gay people, including the end of Don't Ask/Don't Tell and provisions for gay marriage and/or civil unions.
3. The passage of Medicare and Medicaid.
4. A decline in discrimination against women, whose opportunities, presence and status in the work place have gradually improved.

Those all seem like highly moral developments. You define morality differently than I do, obviously.

 

Everyone but you seems know the inherent dangers of single parent and blended households.(families)

You have evidence to the contrary? Please bring it out, let us see it.

 

"Blended households"?

You mean like mine?

 

Obviously

 

Why?

 

What is a "blended household"?

 

You posted it in GD, by de facto you are asking for comment.

And I said "monotheist" as in believing in ONE deity.

And once again YOUR kind seems to think they know know what is "moral"..

"blended households" and "single parents" with inherant dangers?

Whom are you to judge what is moral? Are you a God?

 

A blended household is one were one of the parents remarry. The children have one biological parent and one non-biological parent.

A biracial household has parents of different races.

I mention that only because at one time that kind of family had many problems because of racism. And in some places today they still do.

 

So what's your solution then? That single parents should not re-marry? That couples should stay together for the sake of the children? Where have you been for the last 40 years?

 

Since my household is "biracial", I guess I was correct to surmise that you were including my family in your definition. Do you honestly think that my household is rendered less moral because of the fact that my husband and I are racially different?
