Poll of the Day > I think cultures should be treated the way Super markets are

(+) Yeah! (+)

In terms of competitions. Like some cultures may attract other people if you offer them the goods. But its not to say one is better than the other in terms of equal value. But it just sells better. So thats how i see culture as. Like Japanese culture i think seems nice. But religions is more warfare, i think we need a new relgious cult of obvious good and evil. Like Christian countries are better because their religious culture have adapted humanism since 15th century, something i think islamic religious cultures lack. So i prefer living in christian countries over islamic ones. But if you want to take away stuff like anti gay stuff or anti anything condecending then obvious good and evil may be the solution.

Because what is real truth? a guy said it long time ago doesnt mean it is true. What sends you to death is if you do obvious bad stuff something that is so obvious if something crosses the line. And Christian and islamic religion will most likely get you more to death due to certain mentality that may be untrue and condecending towards certain people.

Problem is other religions may have had heaven and hell like Zoroastrianism which is not a abrahamic religion but a persian one, which predates christianity and islam being a branch of god of abraham.

Well for it to work you have to claim authority over heaven and hell, because when time goes anxiety of death comes, and its a sheep mentality.

Well its one way to solve it.

If we ignore religion all together and more on cultural goodness. Then obvious stuff that would be bad, not in terms of culture but ideas in it. Like witch hunt, bad idea. Human sacrifice bad ideas.

Just saying, its my view on overall culture aspect as a whole

Maybe it's the mushrooms, but you lost me, ok?

I mean i dont try to say culture is like selling, but just the idea is to make it meaningful. Also i dont agree with atheist mentality that its fairy tale. A fairy tale is made up. Religion is.. Well lets say your mother dies, you cant prove to anyone she existed, she was most likely a cave troll whatever, and other slanders and say its a fairy tale. That may be hurtful to you? well kinda what religion is, its something real to them.

I dont agree it was made because people didnt understand the world. People back then had science, religion is the case if you ask "what is our purpose, why are we here?" aka thats what religion came in to fill. Science exists to explain how our world works and how we can understand it. So yeah, but i dont mind anyone etc

Fucking what

lol sorry

That Billy Madison quote has never been more relevant.

I have no idea what this shit means

The biggest mistake anyone can make is to treat all cultures and their various aspects as equal. Some are objectively better than others. Genital mutilation or throwing acid on girls because they were raped or tried to read disqualifies one from ever being top tier, for example.

I mean equal value on name only, you know in terms of "even if i am not into your culture i am not gonna say your is less value than mine" But there is a difference when sorting out bad ideas in certain cultures that is obviously bad. Our culture can have bad ideas just as others. And you just need to sort it out.

Check this shit out lol

Emm no. No those were bad. I mean the renesainse era when humanism came, i just mean christianity has over these years adapted to it. I was saying Islamic religious culture has not really this in their culture. Humanism essentially mean to look at humans as having a value.

Either case. I think i mentioned a new religious cult may be better way forward. I just saying if i have to pick one over the other. Well this would be the easy answer

cults are never a good thing

I don't get it. Are we cherry picking values of different cultures and putting them in shopping baskets of morality?
---

do we get loyalty points for following a certain culture? and what can we buy with those points?

No i'm straight as an arrow and I got lost after the first sentence

I recommend buying store brand cultures or you'll end up paying more just for fancy packaging and graphics.

No, I'm saying they don't have equal value. If you add up the objective pros and cons and take out the subjective stuff, some are worse than others.

some do sell better, but i dont wanna devalue their overall what they feel they like. Its like saying all Call of Duty players are horrible. I mean, you can say it but... is it really a good idea?
