Dogmafood looks clearly and deep
Author: Dogmafood
Forum: Faith and Belief
Thread: Morality without god
Message: Message 87
Beautifully done: Dogmafood reminds us that our moral sense and behavior evolved when we lived in small groups, and our better history reflects an expansion of what we see as our tribal kin.
Even our current political conflicts can be seen as a tense dialectic between those who wish to enlarge our sense of tribe, and those who do not.
We were all kin then, and we're all kin now.

Re: Omnivorous
Thanks, Coyote.
I try to steer between my belief that more truth can be found inside an honest narrative than in abstractions and my reluctance to be an old man telling boring stories. It's good to hear I may have gotten one right.

Re: Omnivorous
Thanks, crash. I find far more to applaud in your posts than to critique. I hope it shows.

Re: Rahvin Knocks It Out Of The Park
Third. And if I wasn't busy qs-in' my ass off because I was so encouraged that fey decided to engage rather than jeer, I'd've beaten you guys to it.
No, Rahvin, you're not late great Hitchens; you're early great Rahvin.
Way better.
AbE: Okay, fine, fourth.
AbE-2: Oh, well, engage and then jeer. Whatevs.
