This is a justification for humans killing other humans for superstitious reasons. It's done in the name of "truth".

You asked me something along these lines before. I'm not interested in addressing it again nor in trying to find the thread in question for you. Why are you asking me again?

Originally posted by @fmf You should have paid attention to what I said the first time around. When you just hack out the same questions, I see myself as being trolled.
Maybe if you had paid attention 'the first time around' you would not have brought up circular logic again.

You used circular logic again, and in this case, you seemed to be using it to justify killing people, so I thought it worth mentioning that your circular logic doesn't really work on - at the very least - me.

Obviously the logic that God (the creator and sustainer of life and the universe) dictates right and wrong doesn't work on you. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. 🙄

I'm pointing out - also obvious, I admit - that superstitions like yours result in humans killing humans. "Obviously ... God (the creator and sustainer of life and the universe) dictates right and wrong" has turned religionists into murders the world over, down through history, and in all kinds of cultures.

Even you without your 'superstitions' can rationalize humans killing other humans so your point is moot.

I would kill somebody who was trying to do mortal harm to my family. I have a moral duty - which we have discussed at length before - to protect them from harm.
Whether the attacker was a homosexual would be beside the point.
And yet you can find some historical moral justification for killing homosexuals just for being homosexuals.
I don't have a religious creed that could potentially turn me into a murderer.
You, on the other hand, use a 'logic' that says a human can kill a human if they believe their god figure wants them to. In what way is this point I am making "moot"?
