Do you not believe that kittens shouldn't be savagely beaten to death since there is bo proof of that? do you think it's just a matter of opinion and the answer to the kitten question depends on who you ask?

the god/proof argument is entirely irrelevant to the kitten/abuse argument you are creating now
the latter is an entirely moral question, the former is an existence-of question
But both of these still concerns belief, so to believe one of those things over the other, yet criticizing the one you don't believe for lacking evidence is hypocritical.

Ha, this coming from the lady who reads about serial killers for fun?
It's just an anime catgirl vibrating a bit. Nothing to worry about.

but no
morals are different than existence-of
like
saying that ghosts don't real (and asking for evidence that they do) is not equivalent to saying that murdering people is wrong (and asking for evidence that it isn't)

But despite the lack of evidence for god, the idea is that people should believe. Just like despite the lack of evidence of the existence of human rights, it's a idea and a idea all should believe true.

again
the issue is morals vs existence
sure human rights aren't real in any material sense and you cannot argue that they are
it is a matter of respect
in society, we all benefit from mutually subscribing to a set of rules
one of which is that every human has a set of rights which are fundamental to human existence
they are protected by law and sure they are not material but they are essential for the function of society

Yes.

Allow me to elaborate.
I don't want kittens to be killed. I don't like pain or knowing times it has happened to others.
However, a person who makes a habit of pet murder would think it is absolutely fine to do. They disregard the pain they cause for others.
In the objective world, the one that we see through the lense of a human psyche, there is no right or wrong. We're all just dumb animals doing shit for whatever reason. Therefore, there is no logical reason why one can not believe that kittens should be murdered and also believe that some others believe otherwise.

You are the one going around claiming everyone is mad when it is you who is mad. You brought me into this argument because you are mad at me, when I didn't even post in this thread until I saw that. That says a lot about how you feel maddy. Saying you are perfectly calm doesn't change anything.
