My other thread was closed before I had a chance to reply, and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before this thread is closed too but this is an honest question...

If you're so adamantly religious and can't handle religious debates... Then why are you on an astrology forum?

Why does this forum cater to Christian viewpoints? Just some food for thought lol

Honestly, I don't get it either. Obviously, the locked thread started with my comment. I simply disagreed with Ami's comment and probably should have provided more context.

I think it is a very slippery slope to say that being religious/being with God gives you morals because: 1) that implies if you aren't religious/believe in God you lack morals, 2) doesn't address the alternative that if you are religious that you can lack morals.

So my point was that for some religion may have provide moral basis, but I prefer to keep it out because it morals do not derive from one place or institution and it also creates a false black and white perception of things. People are allowed to disagree with me of course.

Religion is a tough thing to discuss period- people are always going to disagree and tend to take it personally when you deviate from their viewpoints. I try not to discuss it, because I know if I simply disagree people get salty about it.

Not going to answer your last question- I agree, and I will leave it at that. Honestly though, the religion issue wasn't my biggest concern in that thread.
