Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.
(it appears that the moderator is removing any replies with which he disagrees. It might be a piefed issue. But all the removed replies are top level and upopular. Stranger coincidences have happened I suppose.)
From another comment they made, they seem to be projecting their time as a “party boy” onto everyone else. It doesn’t sound like they ever discussed moral philosophy over drinks which many have done.
I have been an academic and a degenerate and understand that truth lives in the grey areas—something they are incapable of or unwilling to understand. I took a peak at their history after reading your exchange with them and yeah, zero self-awareness.
“Avoid intoxicants for the negatives outweigh the positives” seems like a pretty reasonable statement to me.
LMFAO like you ever said it even slightly close to that
Well, no, I replied to a comment that already called alcohol a dangerous thing, I just expanded on it, talking about how it’s not just the personal health risks but the social responsibility that should matter (if you don’t die or have any serious complications from alcohol abuse but you change for the worse and act with no virtue, it’s still an unnecessary fuck up, and continuing in it is a show of poor character).
But that was more of a direct citation from the Qur’an, and I’m not surprised that the word of God is more convincing/efficient than my own, which comes shaded by my own personality.
Ah yes the passages in the Koran claiming everyone is a shit human besides you.
I guess we got what we paid for, arguing with a “yappy monotheist”.
I’ll take a drunk who knows it’s wrong over a religious person who knows they’re right any day.
I’m stealing this, thank you very much :)
So agree!
Idk where you get that from but it’s such an immature “way out”. In this very thread I’ve talked about my own shortcomings, this just sounds like an expression of your insecurities. Ayayaya. Take care, detective.
The ability to read is all one needs to see that you are a judgmental hypocrite who has never seen a beer before.
It was funny to see these comments, like every comment you make on Lemmy, get dunked on to such an extreme degree though. Too bad there isn’t “karma” on here, since you’d be so proud of your -117,000 score or whatever it would be. Maybe some day I can reach your level of genius, maturity, and humility.
Also funny that you repeatedly avoided my point about your religion specifically forbidding you from judging others but you’re doing it constantly, dozens on comments that I’ve seen myself. You must just be iNsEcUrE.
My religion pretty much commands me to make moral judgements so I can act right (and the call for moral reflection is repeatedly mentioned in the Qur’an), and in this case I’m just sharing the conclusion of my moral questioning and also the word of God. I simply don’t understand what this “judgement” you’re talking about that you seem to dislike so much is all about. Is this a court? Do I have any power over you as a judge to send you to “silly jail” (like “horny jail” but for silly geese)? I’m expressing my opinion on a certain behaviour as the thread allowed for and you felt called out so you engaged in a defensive conversation. My man, I have no power over you, whatever “judgments” I’m making have no actual effect on you besides the ones you allow yourself to feel. I’m sorry if you disliked me saying “avoid X, it’s not good for anyone” so much you felt persecuted or whatever but I’m not going against anything in my faith or my morality. If anything, I’m proselytizing, and you can judge my skill wanting and my approach somewhat counterproductive, and that would be fair, but it does not take away the moral fact(s) I was putting forward.
You gotta let go.
