In order to have any sort of law, you need to acknowledge that something is objectively wrong by its nature. That means when everyone does it, no matter who does it, it's a bad thing. It is bad because it goes against how the world was designed and operates. This notion may be lost on a political party that selectively prosecutes, ignores laws it doesn't like, rewrites the constitution so the 2nd amendment doesn't exist but a secret special unstated provision for gays does, stuffs its ranks with tax cheats and people who violate their constitutional oaths, etc.

You are forgetting, Kode, that mainstream Christianity has had an 1800 year head start on us.

Isn't that the point?

His point seemed to be that people are unwilling to believe fantastic claims when they are contemporary, and conversely, buy into the miraculous if it is ancient.
I was simply adding to that the fact that group can gather a lot of momentum over the course of eighten centuries compared to two.

And that was exactly my point.
And groups that observe Secular Humanism may actually gain a following eventually as well, assuming that the next religious group to come to power doesn't execute them all as heretics.

Strictly speaking secular humanism is kinda a philosophy/group in itself. But yeah we're gonna be big in 20 years, just you watch. We ain't intolerable feminists like atheism+ and not lighthearted faggots like the Sunday Assembly. Plus we have a big history unlike these newfag atheist sects.

Reminds me of when Cicero (I believe) thought that the stories of Castor and Pollux reappearing on the battlefield were more likely to be true because they happened more recently than other myths.

There's a difference between myths and science. Unless you think all the neat scientific discoveries made in the past few centuries are just the latest in a string of myths, part of a new religious order.
Maybe I'll stop fapping when some scientist proves that it's worse for my physical and mental health than, say, meeting the perfect woman, courting her for a year or two, proposing, another period of engagement, marriage, then I can finally fuck her. And we only fuck to produce children, because sex for any other purpose just goes against nature.

Not done it in a while. I guess I'm saving myself.

At home not only do I do it less, I think of it less because the opportunities don't come up. So time can just pass by and I don't notice.
