The point is that it doesn't have to describe religion.



So lets select an ideal set of "ethics, morals, beliefs, worldviews, etc" but not call it religion? Or we could use the existing word for this.

quote:

So now you believe claiming believing that slavery is moral is a tenet of the Christian religion?

What does this mean? What "next rung of the ladder"?



I was not making a claim about Christianity, simply pointing out that saying "X is immoral" is explicitly a religious claim unless you are drawing on another set of higher order principles that would constitute your religious beliefs. Binding morals are religious.

No, I do not believe that slavery is consistent with Christianity and am pleased that the abolitionists won that fight.
Maybe out of context b/c I'm not reading all 20 pages.

quote:

But for some reason we can’t separate those great Christian values from religion.


Because you are describing religion. Its like saying why can you separate religion from religion. Separate the values and incorporate them into a new religion if you want (that's what you would be doing).

All slavery is immoral



is a religious claim by definition. Unless you want to logic your way to this answer in which case you walk the religious claim up the next rung of the ladder.

He linked the guy to an alleged torture video discussion. Good for Massie.

Unrelated to the guy showing up elsewhere.

Trump is also my guiding light on all things Women.

“The library that’s here now was built in 1958, and it’s an obsolete building with a lot of deferred maintenance,” he said. “This is an opportunity to reposition our new library and modernize it to better support our mission.”

LSU is spending $154 million to complete the building. Funding was provided through private and state funds. The LSU Foundation is currently pursuing a $35 million fundraising goal to help with funding.


I just have this feeling that a fraction of $154 million would've solved the problem.
