re: Granting dying wishes vs going against a parents wishes.

You're missing the point on this entirely. This isn't the context of a simple irreligious household, it's the reality of what the following sequence would likely do to a 4 and 5 year old's perception of religion and their parents in the long-term.

"We're going to let you all make choices on religion when you're older."

Next week out of nowhere: "We changed our thinking on this, we're going to have you all partake in the first sacrament of Christianity right away."

Next month: "I know it is confusing but you don't need to worry about church anymore."

If the above goes down, the kids end up confused in the short-term and locks for agnosticism/atheism when they're older.

I understand you entirely. You are seriously overstating the mental capacity of small children.

Did you just use the phrase “reasonable and useful” in terms of religion?

And in regards to you believing in a “civil society” and how religion can dictate and guide the weak minded, do you need a fictional man in the sky to “teach” you how to be a “good person” and not be a dick towards other people?

You can boil the *ENTIRE* bible and it’s commandments down to one phrase:

“Do unto others as you would like be done to you”

That’s it. And my jimmies aren’t rustled. I could debate religious inconsistencies and inaccuracies forever.

But as much as I don’t try to keep people from having their “faith”, I appreciate people who believe not being ridiculous about it.

Religion is like a penis. It’s something to have and be proud of... but I draw the line of tolerance when you shove it down my throat.

Sorry, Rabbi... but I would love to hear your debate argument against it

Dying wishes are so selfish of those who are about to be deceased. Guilting their loved ones to do things while you’re on your death bed isnt right

Haven’t read the entire thread, but of what I have, you’ve gotten a bunch of responses from some projecting arse retards.

“She’s selfish”?!?!? This woman is knocking on deaths door and what is she doing? Blowing it out? Checking off her bucket list?

No. In her final days, her efforts are toward securing eternal bliss for her great grand children.

I don’t share her convictions, but I can recognize her intentions are far from selfish.

How does the “Golden Rule” not apply here?

quote:

---

A recognition in the Source of all life

How does this apply outside of an internal meaning for solace/understanding?

quote:

---

A willingness to do what’s necessary

---

Again, the rule applies here too.

What would you do?

Not do it and tell her I did

It's not projecting, it's just blatant ignorance to admit you aren't and don't understand Catholics and then to determine her reasons for asking were selfish.

Exactly thst was my point

I didn’t think I needed to elaborate it
