Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy
That statement can be taken in two ways: you can mean that you believe we deserve to go to Heaven, but we won't due to God not existing OR that you believe we deserve something horrible.
From the context, the latter is the more obvious explanation. Perhaps you can elaborate on what you feel we deserve exactly for following God.
No, it's because Eve plucked the apple from the tree after God told her not to do it. Punishment goes down many generations. On a Christian forum, you can expect the prevailing mindset to be that the Bible is right.
You can be a great, caring and generous person and all that, but you will still go to Hell. I'm not saying that is fair or reasonable, but that's how the rules are.
Some false Christians will go "nah, it's not soooo bad" to ease you into their perverted form of Christianity, but they're lying. It IS that bad.
If you believe man is not naturally good, then Anarchy is the wrong political model: men have to be ruled by others, provided it is strictly regulated (i.e. "who watches the watchers"), to prevent the most vile elements in society to dominate over others.
Now you can argue that vile elements still dominate over others, but that they're wearing suits and attache cases. True, but it's still kind of nice that you don't have to worry about your village being pillaged by armed gangs and having no recourse.
Secular law inherently has only a very limited bearing on moral code. Otherwise freedom of speech or freedom of religion would be impossible.
But what would your alternative be? No laws at all? You'd have to start worrying about your village being pillaged by armed gangs. You need some form of law and regulation. It's the equilibrium point of every stable society.
I think you're forgetting the luxury you have to not have to worry about your loved ones being raped or murdered by marauding negroes.
