People always want to cite the golden rule without crediting the source on that one.

You dont need a fucking source, you brain dead bible thumper lol

You walk outside and experience life itself not sitting in some pew listening to your pastor tell you how you should experience it!

You mean Confucious "Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself."

or Epictitus "What thou avoidest suffering thyself seek not to impose on others."

or Socrates "Do not do to others what would anger you if done to you by others."

or there is the Buddhist version "Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful."

Saying don't hurt others isn't the same as saying treat everyone as you would like to be treated.

Confirming that many Atheists are fanatics. I got banned from the Atheists forums for saying that you can't discount the existence of a god with science, that the two could potentially be related.

They banned me for "causing trouble" and moved my posts to Christian naughty corner which they call Fantasy Island lol.

I'm an atheist btw. What I was trying to say was with ongoing studies relating to our potentially being in a computerized simulator or multiple universes and our incomplete understanding of the universe, especially quantum mechanics, that you can't 100% say there is no god, though you can show lots of lots of evidence to suggest there is not one.

But even hinting to those Atheists that there could be something like a god got the same reaction that suggesting there was no god to a religious fanatic might get you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So if I conned you out of your life savings, but never touched you, I would be following your versions of the golden rule. I didn't hurt you. But I also didn't treat you as I would want to be treated. So are they the same thing?

[stonez138]

keep trying.

[Glenzig]

No need.

You're not going to convince me you're really dumb enough to believe they're only talking about physically hurting someone.

I'm telling you that the way it was said leaves it up to interpretation. I don't think anyone is actually that dumb. But there is a big difference between saying don't hurt anyone the way you wouldn't want to be hurt, and treat others as you would like to be treated. I could take absolutely no action at all toward you and not have hurt you. But treating others as we want to be treated is a proactive approach.
