Hinduism is the most moraly superior religion (official religions only) [SHARED BOP]

It is good and rational thing done by Pro by forfeiting since he didn’t seem to rationally and reasonably defend his hindu ethical theory of blind consequentialism, which makes no sense, but even doesn’t provide any good reason for the Ontological grounding of the objective moral values and obligations. For readers who are interested in studying further details on the Christian worldview and philosophy of morality, read relevant articles from this website, such as- Thanks for reading. http://www.reasonablefaith.org...
Hinduism is the most moraly superior religion (official religions only) [SHARED BOP]

It is clear that Pro is frustrated after confronting the implausibility of his ethics of Hinduism as I exposed and he can’t sanely discuss and defend the doctrine of Hinduism concerning the basis of Moral values and duties.I have mentioned earlier that there is no reason in Hindu doctrine as to explain to us: Why we ought to maximize well being, pleasure and happiness of creatures, when the universe is destined to be doomed at one day, let alone the tiny planet.If that’s the purpose of creation to maintain and continue the balance of goodness and evil on earth, then there is no justice for moral evil. Perhaps the hindu would try to explain Karma theory, that the justice will be served in next birth of the person. But the karma theory is vicious. For we can’t trace back the original evil acts done by free will of humans, it may go back and back forever. It would seem like it’s all reaping and reaping (like writing a cheque to pay a cheque upto infinite regress.) We don’t know if the rapist is doing some evil, for perhaps he is just instrumentally executing the punishment to the victim of her past birth by raping her today?There is no moral duties to do good works in this ethics where both good and evil are justified to be divine karmic system on which the earth works necessarily. Why people born with disabilities and suffer pointlessly? The karmic theory would say, they are being punished for the past birth sins, so we should not care and love them. Instead we should laugh at disabled, raped, victims because they rightly reaped the punishment of their past lives. While in Christian theology, the poor and innocent righteous will be vindicated by the judgment of God and will receive reward in heaven, unlike the never-ending suffering of human incarnations.The pantheistic gods were themselves sinners in many ways, hence the hindu theologian has to deny the evilness of evil and the duties of righteous works. You can be proud of your evil ways by saying “Hey, it’s the laws of universe how it works, the destroyer is necessary so if I rape it’s nothing bad”.There is no good reason to believe why the moral duties are determined by maximization of creatures under blind utilitarianism. Where we would be obligated to destroy populations of poor people in various nations where their survival and health concern is burdensome for entire population. Hence terminating them right now so that they would not continue breeding more poor generations will be morally righteous; for the pain of few moments of death is better than the long run suffering, bad health of those communities.

So if you save the world by slitting someone's throat you're evil but if God chooses to crush us with a hurricane for no apparent reason (and the only justification is the ends justify the means) it's alright. Ah... ANYWAYThe fact that destruction, pain and suffering happen, according to Hinduism, is because God takes many forms and personalities to do the different duties that, when combined in the 'perfect' equation, make God's vision for a perfect universe as a continual, eternal perpetual motion to matter and energy combining in one awe-inspiring struggle for sense in a realm of existence where very little sense can be made.Why are some children born into slavery and rape from the age of three and others spoilt rotten up till the age of 30, still being washed by their mother? There is no reason to a Christian, it is just "God's way" NO! It is not simply God's WAY of doing things, it is to achieve BALANCE, to have the creator Brahma, you must have the DESTROYER Shiva! Hinduism explains all, and morally does the same. To be evil is alright if it is to achieve a GREATER GOOD. It uses logic, mathematics.Dharmic debt is the beauty of all nature and reality that only a fool, even a Buddhist who thinks karmic debt (which is based on the motivation of an action instead of the ATTITUDE with which is done).Brother let's go, debate this to the rotten core of your putrid religion of a mono-powered insanely illogical God versus My super powered BRAHMAN taking the three forms of Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma to make all other demi gods and then to transform all logic into a religion and back into morality is the truth of EVERYTHING! HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAOkay I am too bored to keep going. Hinduism wins.

I mentioned an extreme hypothetical illustration to prove the absurdity of consequentialism, but Pro seems to support it still without giving any explanation as to what are the reasons we have to think the flourishing of the conscious creatures is primary goal and maximization of the well being of them decides the moral obligation. Why is flourishing of creatures the primary obligation as opposed to the moral duties and rights of individuals? There is one thing to tell a insignificant lie in order to do something greater good; and there is a different thing to rape, murder individuals in order to increase human flourishing in the Utilitarian theory? I think deontological theory is clearly more plausible sensible and meaningful as we clearly see the moral duties based on the actions themselves as opposed to be based on the weightage of maximization of well being of creatures (Utilitarianism). If Pro’s theory is to be taken seriously then we have moral obligation to destroy tribes, and villages of thousands of innocent humans who are living in extreme poverty because right now there are no means to transform their lives into flourishing healthy lives; and allowing them to live will produce next generations of poverty, sick and unhealthy population. So in utilitarianism, killing them all is the best solution which is done to reduce undesired population to maximize pleasure and well being of humanity as whole. Let us move to the next round and I hope readers are paying good attention and pondering on these deep ethical issues as I explain.

"If consequentialism is true then many seemingly evil acts such as incest, pedophilia, zoophilia and even rape cannot be condemned as evil in themselves until they help in producing happiness, pleasure and well being of nature." yes and this is the problem with Christianity. If you have to rap to save your child you'll be sent to hell but in Dharmic debt you'll be better off. Hinduism is rational in its morality it says if you do it for a good cause it's a good thing, regardless of WHAT is done! DO you seriously think raping your daughter to save the world from a nuclear explosion is immoral? Well yes you do as a Christian as a Hindu you must pray to lord Shiva not to destroy earth and if you undoubtedly are proven by scientists that the single way to save it is to rape your daughter... Well... You want to world to end?After a lot of thinking and deep thought I reached the conclusion that Christianity would rather you do nothing to help people in an unpleasant manner than do something to help anyone at all. This is its flaw and that single point tears it apart.World ending, daughter raped which is worse in the end? Which out come does Hinduism lead you to and which does Christianity?
Hinduism is the most moraly superior religion (official religions only) [SHARED BOP]

Here is what I like about Hinduism. It is not a kind of religion that says OH NO YOU KILLED A MAN THAT IS BAD! They believe that if you killed the man to save hundreds of others it is okay. It is all about Dharmic debt (as opposed to the Buddhist karmic debt). Dharmic debt differs to karmic debt in that a murderer always has karmic debt but in the act itself one can actually get RID OF dharmic debt. Just because Gandhi was a non-violent Hindu doesn't mean a violent Hindu is any less a Hindu, they are not hypocrites they hold ATTITUDES as the core of their religion. It's all about the MOTIVATION behind which you do something that is at the core of Hinduism. They do not at all oppose eating meat if one is starving but what they say is if you're rich and fat definitely don't eat meat but help the Earth.Christianity preaches 'thou shalt not murder' but the amount of Christians who murdered other Christians over Catholicism vs Protestantism is in the millions.Christianity preaches "Love thy neighbour" yet look what World War Two told us about Christians (EVEN HITLER WAS ONE).Hindus have indeed brutally slaughtered Muslims in the civil war of India but it was actually no better or worse than what the Muslims did to them, additionally Hindu morality is always said to refer to the ATTITUDE and REASONING behind what you do, are you doing for a noble cause or not? The "ends justifies the means" theology is very legitimate and is why Indian kids get so many A*'s it is their culture to believe that every thing you do should be to an end result. Thanks and I look forward to a theoretical conflict :)

In round 1, I expect you not to rebut any of my morals. Instead I wish that you can post the moral code of (your interpretation of) your religion as I give my interpretation of Hinduism. No need to source this is a purely theoretical metaphysical debate, peace out (please no hostility).Okay so here is goes...What does living virtuously mean to Hindus? It is following the natural and essential guidelines of Dharma (Hindu version of the better know [Buddhist] "Karma") and the 10 yamas and 10 niyamas - ancient scriptural injunctions for all aspects of human thought, attitude and behavior. These do's and don'ts are a common-sense code recorded in the Upanishads, in the final section of the 6000-to 8000-year-old Vedas.The 10 Yamas - Restraints or Proper Conduct Ahimsa or Non-injury - not injuring or harming others by thought, word, or deed. Satya or Truthfulness - refraining from lying and betraying promises. Asteya or Nonstealing - neither stealing nor coveting nor entering into debt. Brahmacharya or Sexual Purity - divine conduct, controlling lust by remaining celibate when single leading to faithfulness in marriage. Kshama or Patience - restraining intolerance with people and impatience with circumstances. Dhriti or Steadfastness - overcoming non-perseverance, fear, indecision, inconstancy and changeableness. Daya or Compassion - conquering callous, cruel and insensitive feelings toward all beings. Arjava or Honesty - straightforwardness, renouncing deception and wrongdoing. Mitahara or Moderate Diet - neither eating too much nor consuming meat, fish, fowl or eggs. Saucha or Purity - avoiding impurity in body, mind and speech. The 10 Niyamas - Observances or Practices Hri or Modesty - being modest and showing shame for misdeeds. Santosha or Contentment - seeking joy and serenity in life. Dana or Charity - giving generously without thought of reward. Astikya or Faith - believing firmly in god, gods, guru and the path to enlightenment. Ishvarapujana or Worship of the Lord - the cultivation of devotion through daily worship and meditation. Siddhanta Sravana or Scriptural Listening - studying the teachings and listening to the wise of one's lineage. Mati or Cognition - developing a spiritual will and intellect with the guru's guidance. Vrata or Sacred Vows - fulfilling religious vows, rules and observances faithfully. Japa or Incantation - chanting mantras daily. Tapas or Austerity - performing sadhana, penance, tapas, and sacrifice.
Abortion.

In order to answer this question, I must briefly state that I am in fact for the most part a proponent for the 'pro-life' stance, however am not against Abortion in certain instances. I want to clarify that I am in fact not a proponent of such a position because I have moral affiliations to it, however I am somebody who personally believes that the fetus has a 'god given' if you will right to live. Unfortunately, I claim that I am 'for the most part' a proponent for the pro-life stance solely because my perspective of the matter forbids me from dictating whether or not an abortion should take place. I shall elaborate: To understand my position, we shall divide the question of abortion into 3 separate sections: 1. Cases in which Abortion should not be permitted (Normal circumstances) 2. Cases in which Abortion should be permitted (Baby is parasitical to the mother, slowly killing her) 3. Cases in which my perspective cannot answer. (Rape) 1. I believe that under normal circumstances (Two consensual adults have sex without protection knowing the there is a risk of getting pregnant) that abortion should be forbidden. Although I do believe that a woman has every right to do what she wants with her own body (Under go surgery, tattoo, transplant, etc.) She has every right to do so, as long as that right does not infringe on the right of the fetus. The woman in this case has every right to do what she wants with her body just as a religious person has every right to exercise their religion, just as their right does not infringe on the right of others. In this instance, you are not infringing on either the fetuses right (As you are enabling for it to live) or the right of the mother (As she had the right to choose whether or not become pregnant, thus exercising her original right.) Each of their right is equal and neither shall infringe on the other. 3. I will skip to the instance of rape as the 2nd section is self explanatory from a Utilitarian perspective and I am running low on character count. I have heard both arguments from both sides regarding the matter of rape and unfortunately I cannot coincide my perspective to answering such a dilemma. If you permit the mother to killing the fetus and undergoing an abortion, you are infringing on the rights of the fetus and therefore claiming that the rights of the mother trumps the right of the fetus. However, if you forbid the mother from having an abortion, you are technically infringing on the rights of the mother as she has not been granted the opportunity to exercise her right to choose whether or not to have the fetus in the first place (As she had been forcefully raped) This argument has yet to delve into a perspective that argues its practicality, rather the questioning of rights. I look forward to hearing your rebuttal.
Public Education: Communism in America and the reason why America is falling

What has defiled the education in America through public schools began with the teaching of evolution. The teaching of evolution has corrupted the minds of the students in many ways. First, why teach evolution when even the founder of evolution, Charles Darwin, stated himself that evolution is not true? The teaching that man "evolves" to a better being as time passes has made this generation of deluded narcissists, which has been agreed by Fox news recently. It was also, in fact, Darwin's idea of the survival of the fittest and other principles that promoted Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold to shoot their fellow classmates at the famous Columbine High School massacre.You can also see that most public schools, especially high schools, are far behind private and home institutions in their course levels. Look at the national math, science, and other academic competitions in the U.S. Most are won by private and home school students. Where are the public school students who supposedly receive the best education? They rarely get on the news except for criminal and other negative issues. What has public education really done to the U.S.? Average SAT scores have dropped throughout the decade, unemployment and criminal rate is skyrocketing, and America's debt is increasing every second. Has the "free" public education which costs billions of dollars really paid off to make the nation greater?Or did it just put U.S. in a greater debt?What happened to all the schools with Biblical doctrines and principles that the schools taught and stood on? Most of the great colleges and universities we know today such as Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, Princeton, Columbia were all Christian based schools. In fact, most of the Founding Fathers did not ever attend public schools but received education at home. If you say that public education has nothing to do with private and home education, you are completely wrong. Many states have complicated the laws for home schooling and private schools because the government does not want its citizens to receive other education except for its own public education! The government's competition for education against private and home schools continually goes on today.
Public Education: Communism in America and the reason why America is falling

You first claim that public education isn't necessary to America's prosperity and well-being. This couldn"t be further from the truth. Without public education, our country could not have developed as quickly as it has in the 20th century. Public education has trained citizens of our country in pretty much every field imaginable, including literature, biology, chemistry, mathematics, and politics. In addition, scientists couldn"t have created fields such as Biomedical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Virtual Reality without having a foundation provided in Public Education. Even students who never finished public educations still have basic reading and mathematical abilities necessary to survive in America. From these examples, we can see that public education isn"t just necessary to America"s prosperity and well-being. Rather, we can see how public education has created our country"s prosperity and well-being. From this information, we can see also see how the fourth "myth" is actually correct, to a certain extent. I will elaborate this in later posts, as I will run out of space otherwise. The second claim you make is that public education doesn"t attempt to bring children together from different ethnic, social, racial, and religious groups. You also claim that public education attempts to mold into homogenized "Americans" which we are all supposed to want to be. These claims also couldn"t be further from the truth. Public education, by definition, allows children from all ethnic, social, racial, and religious backgrounds to receive a basic amount of knowledge. It has been this way since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition, public education leaders are trying to expand Charter and Magnet School programs in the United States so that people from all groups and cultures can have access to the best possible education if they work hard enough. In addition, public education is not at all trying to create a homogenous America. In fact, the system tries to create a stratified America, in which those who work the hardest get the most in return. Those who get the best grades and take the hardest coursework (ex. IB, AP) have the best opportunities to land scholarships and to get into the best colleges. The third claim you make is that the U.S. government and its officials say that our system "provides the best possible education because we are the best possible country spending the most possible money." This isn't true. President Barrack Obama constantly reminds us how, according to PISA rankings, we are 25th in the world in Math and 24th in the world in Science. He constantly talks about how we spend far more on our national defense budget than we do on our educational budget, and how our primary and secondary school teachers are among the lowest-paid in the world in relation to the per-capita GDP incomes. This is why government officials constantly attempt to raise our educational budget to make our schools more competitive internationally
Public Education: Communism in America and the reason why America is falling

Have you ever heard of the saying, "America sucks because you suck"? It is definitely true thanks to the "very good" service our government has provided us with its "free" education. You should understand that I am being sarcastic here. Our U.S. government may say that they are providing the best education for the students; but in truth, they are providing the worst education possible. What is public education? The most commonly held view of public education is, without doubt, the least accurate, in that it tells us very little about the realities of public education. It is based on a collection of myths which most Americans are quite reluctant to give up.The first myth is that public education is a great democratic institution fundamental to America's prosperity and well-being. The second myth is that public education is necessary as the great equalizer in our society, bringing together children from different ethnic, social, racial, and religious groups and combining them into homogenized "Americans" which we are all supposed to want to be. The third myth is that it provides the best possible education because we are the best possible country spending the most possible money. The fourth myth is that our society cannot survive without it- that is, public education and all the people who run it. These myths are so hard to discard because it requires discarding an even greater myth that props up the whole edifice: that all men are equal and that government, as the great equalizer, is the most benevolent dispenser of human goodness, generosity, and justice on earth. The framers of the Declaration of Independence did not mean "created equal" in the egalitarian sense it is used today. Egalitarianism leads to monotonous sameness, in which individuality, free choice, and the expression of individual values are suppressed for a supposed higher value of collective sameness. What they meant was that everyone should have the maximum freedom and opportunity to lead his or her life according to that individual's values. But the current trend in public education is to eradicate or deny the existence of differences, particularly sexual, racial, and religious differences, to a point that such confusion that individual identity becomes more and more difficult for youngsters to define, let alone achieve. The only way an individual can achieve a sense of identity today in public education is to rebel against it. And perhaps this is one of the reasons for the steadily increasing destruction of school property by American students. By brainwashing the students with such ideas, the government uses them for their own advantage. Why the government is doing such thing is because of evil, corrupted government officials who has also been brainwashed by public education, which gains its foundation from communist ideas and propaganda.
