'Uniting The Cults' is a non-profit whose purpose is to be an agent of cultural change with a vision of a world without apostasy laws.. a world governed by scientific thinking, where people recognize love as the goal and rationality as the method to achieve it. Our brothers and sisters need our help. They're living in fear, unable to speak for themselves.. so we must speak for them. Here's how you can support your brothers and sisters suffering in fear... ðŸ’˜

Morality is objective, regardless of God/religion | We're doing a livestream on this, are you interested? Fill form below.

Morality is objective. We can make moral judgements. We can judge if one moral idea is better or worse than a competing moral idea. We can find flaws in our ideas and improve our ideas so they don't have those flaws. And if they really are good enough, then other people will willingly adopt those ideas because they recognize them as better than their previous ideas. This is how memetic evolution works - idea evolution.

It doesn't matter if there is/are God(s) or not. Morality is objective either way. There are no Gods, but again, that doesn't matter to morality.

Religions should never have been created. Not only do we not need religions for morality, religions are horrible for morality. Religions cause people to be divided instead of united. Religions cause people to treat their "prophets" as authorities on knowledge. That naturally divides people because people fight about which person should be treated as the authority. People should recognize that there are no authorities on knowledge.

Christians and Muslims treat Jesus and Muhammad as infallible beings. As if we can't possibly improve on their ideas. But they were just people, like you and me. Not prophets. Just people.

Some so called prophets were horrible people and some were pretty good. I think Jesus was pretty good.

But if you think Jesus was God, or a prophet, or an authority on anything, or if you follow a religion around Jesus, or if Jesus is the only person that you consider to be a great person that influenced your worldview, then you're a horrible person. No good person has only one 'great thinker' as part of their intellectual heritage.

Consider another example. Imagine the people who consider Ayn Rand to be a great thinker but they can't name anyone else. These are horrible people. Ayn Rand was great but these people are horrible.

These people are contradicting their own heroes. Ayn Rand was influenced by many great thinkers. So was Jesus.

With that said, I am a Christian.

I am a Christian because I espouse Christ's philosophy. And in the same way, I'm also a Deutchian, an Einsteinian, a Leeian, a Newtonian, a Popperian, a Szaszian, a Fitz-Claridgeian, a Goldrattian, a Feynmanian, a Randian, a Misesian, a Socratesian, and I will continue to add more great thinkers to my intellectual heritage so long as there are more to find.

I'm planning a livestream to discuss this

On the show with me will be 2 of the 3 people that have already done the Uniting The Cults podcast with me.

No date has been set yet. I'm trying to find out from you all when would be the best time/date to do it. So if you're interested in participating, please fill this google form.

Interested in joining a livestream about Jesus's philosophy?


Backstory: Somebody asked me what I mean by "Jesus's philosophy", and since that's a huge topic, I decided to ask him to join me on my first livestream. And I asked 2 other people too, chorale11 and A R Rahman. these are 2 of my first 3 guests on the podcast.

For more backstory, here's the comment thread and post that led to this: What do you mean by “Jesus’s philosophy”? What’s your understanding of it?

If you want to know what to expect, here are the first 2 podcast episodes: 1st
2nd
