yes.
its also funny you bring up the nazi party, seeing as they relied on people who think just like you do in order to consolidate their power.
they were calling the jews evil....which turned out to be them projecting.
you over here calling people who vote dem as evil....makes me wonder about who you really are, and what you actually support. So is it always evil to say a party is evil?

And was the Nazi party evil? Yes or no? i already quoted you saying that. and i already answered your ridiculous question with a "yes". stop asking.

You said Democrats are evil. Where? Post number, please. For clarity's sake, this is the actual question. Ok, I’ll answer. Nowhere. I never said Democrats are evil. I said if you support the party , ie platform, you are supporting evil. I am not saying the whole platform is evil, but there are pillars of it that I consider evil. Just like mgh thinks supporting Trump is evil, apparently If he doesn’t mean that, what is the bad side of his “moral battle”? Thank you for the answer. I'd argue you're wrong, as I don't see how you can take this You said "If you support the Democratic party, you are supporting evil" in response to the quote "He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." ... and say that's not calling all Democrats evil. Democratic Party and individual democrats is not the same thing. Secondly, it is perfectly legitimate to call a party evil if their platform is evil I actually agree. What I don't agree with is your response to the quote (paraphrasing) that if you don't protest evil, if you just kinda go along with evil (supporting, if you will) you are as responsible as the person doing the evil.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

Of course the Nazi party was evil and did that. But I’m not demonizing a race or ethnicity. So what’s your point I asked if the Nazi party was evil, because y Of MGH’s statement that I was evil for purportedly calling a party evil. But you just did the same thing (called a party evil) So I’m evil, you’re evil, and MGH is evil for calling us evil according to that definition

I’m not saying you’re evil. I’m saying by MGH’s faulty definition of evil, you’re evil. People who call people evil are evil Calling a party evil is the same as calling people evil You called the Nazi party evil Do the math You guys are raking over the coals for a logical fallacy BTW, this whole diversion is a red herring by all of you to divert from my question, what is the basis of morality. Well played Red Herring

I didn't try to come up with a definition of Evil. Please don't misrepresent what I post. As for the rest of it - as I said - not engaging but still wait for your position on morality. I note that you are still playing games and are unprepared to simply state your opinion.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

I note that you are still playing games and are unprepared to simply state your opinion. You thought you were backing up what MGH said by posting the quote. Now you are in no position to criticize it, because it has been shown to be a fallacy. As to basis of morality. I asked first. You don’t want to answer my question, for good reason My basis for morality apart from God? ( not religion, I never argued that religion was). What is the basis for morality if there is no God. Beats me. That’s your worldview. I don’t need to defend your worldview. It’s not government or society or law or upbringing, because Naziism, which is evil , was legal, endorsed by the government, society and the majority in Germany in the 1940s. So that is not a solid basis for morality Give me a solid basis for morality.

This dude has made entire threads unreadable. I offered to drop it but the others can’t. Blame them. I said several times now I will stop if they stop, and they choose not to. So you need to ask the others to stop. Which you won’t. Because you want them to continue, and want me to continue and you want to make snippy remarks about it. Its basically an ad hominem. If you wanted it to stop, you would ask the others to stop replying to me. That’s all you need to do

By your definition of morality, based on society, law, parents, etc ...then for some people Nazi Germany, Soviet Union gulags, etc can be moral to some people in some settings
Naziism was the law of the land, accepted by a larger part of German society, and sometimes taught by parents to their children. Therefore, those are extremely poor foundations for morality
Morality cannot be defined by any of things you mentioned
And many devout Christians fought and died to keep slavery legal. Many of them fought to keep segregation legal. many of them fought to keep women from having the right to vote. Morality can not be defined by Christians who use their faith to promote evil.

No, you just say that other organizations are evil while ignoring to point the finger at your own.

So you even vote for evil Democrats? If not, you have a party, you just refuse to claim it in public. And yes, political parties are organizations. The Structure of Political Parties The major political parties are organized at the local (usually county), state, and national levels. Party leaders and activists are involved in choosing people to run for office, managing and financing campaigns, and developing positions and policies that appeal to party constituents. The national party organizations play key roles in presidential elections. https://www.cliffsnotes.com/study-guides...litical-parties

The slave trade would fall under the category of manstealing, which is forbidden in Christianity. 1 Timothy 3:10
Interracial marriage is not forbidden in the Bible. The prohibitions in marriage were due to idolatry, not race
No segregation based on race in the Bible. It was based on idolatry. Ruth was a Moabite and Rahab was a Canaanite. Also, people from other races were welcome
No segregation in the apostolic church
Woman not voting is not a biblical concept.
So you’re right. Christians that don’t know their Bibleare not a good basis for morality
But the basis of morality is not religion, and morality existed before the Bible, so no one is arguing those as a basis of morality

So now we're supposed to believe that only you can guide us to the truth? That all those other Christians were wrong but for some reason you hold the key? The key to tell us what is evil. The key to teaching us morality?
One thing I'm sure of, I know what God tells us about judging others.

How do you vote if you’re not allowed to judge right and wrong? Lol. And you’re not able to judge that the slave trade, segregation, etc are wrong? You can’t judge anything, so there is no standard for morality. Nice position.

There's a standard for my morality. There is no standard that permits me to impose my morality on everyone else. I guess I just side a little more with those trying to feed the poor and heal the sick. You know, like Jesus did.

I'm deciding that I'm not considering you as having any key to the truth or the path to follow. The same way I feel about most religious zealots.

A. I don’t have the power to impose anything
B. Jesus did not teach government imposed socialism. He taught private charity. You will never see Jesus teaching that the Roman Empire should tax people to feed the poor. He told his disciples to. But see point e for further clarification
C. I give to the needy as I am able. My wife and I just fed a group of people Saturday.
D. I know conservative Christians who give half or more of their income to the needy. Do you identify with them
E. I believe in tax social programs for the needy. I am a moderate in fiscal matters.

Or the same god that allowed the Salem witch trials to happen? #asking for a friend
