Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.

unpopular moral take: All religions are absurd cop outs and you should choose your own model for how to be a good person.

I don't think that's unpopular on this platform.

People acting as if they're brave for voicing an "unpopular" opinion, when they're actually with the vast majority on that platform...

[-] wattanao@fedia.io 1 points 1 week ago

The fundamental problem with questions like these is that people are inclined to upvote morals they agree with, and downvote the ones they don't like, instead of upvoting answers that fit the question of unpopular. I don't know that there's much to be done about that though.

Religion is cancer. All of them.

[-] Fungah@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Hotter take: ban religion completely outside of religious facilities and private dwellings.

No iconography, no discussion, nothing. You can go into your temple and do whatever stupid shit you want, you can aid the poor if you want, but everything to do with your religion stays behind closed doors.

super redhot take: implement a lifelong exclusion for being around unattended kids for any priests that are caught pedophiling. Mandatory bright red wrist bracelet wearing for life. And exclusion from ever being a priest again.

Include any higher ups in the church who knew about it and didnt immediately report it to the state law enforcement. There should not be any second system of justice within the priesthood. They follow existing government laws around abuse of children or they are acting criminally, no exceptions. If the pedopriests take off the bracelet they report it immediately to law enforcement or they can face life in prison, still wearing the bracelet.

True but you gotta remember the most violent and horrific religion of them all....

I think the bases of all religions are similar enough... Don't be an asshole, don't be selfish and help others in need, accept everyone, etc...

Problem is the people that actually follow religions (specially when it's a big part of their life) are mostly assholes that don't follow the basic dogmas they themselves preach.

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Nope, not even close. It's not even the basis of Christianity, and we associate that one with this message the most (for some reasons). If there is a basis that all religions share, it's that unwavering notion that the religion in question is the right one, and every other is heresy and should be eliminated.

[-] head_socj@midwest.social 0 points 1 week ago

Yeah because everyone deciding on their own code of morals and ethics will surely contribute to social cohesion... :/

I don't necessarily disagree, but this game is just sooo short-sighted.

[-] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago

Isn't that what laws are, in theory, supposed to do? Establish a minimum standard.

I know that in practice, there is significant deviation from legality and morality, but lots of people pick and choose the parts of religion they want to follow as well.
