nobody saw Logon's Run here? Am I that old...?
You might be. I certainly am. I fondly remember the movie but didn't think the spin-off TV series was all that good.

Like bigotry against the unplanned in support of a massive genocide.
Never buy from a man in a suit. A large portion of what you are paying for is the suit.
"And I don't see how our systems encourage sin."
By positively rewarding it. When a businessman lowers costs (by paying workers less) and raises prices (to whatever he can get away with), he takes home more profit, is one example.
Souls for God are a positive good, is the reason to procreate (and a reason why the chronologically first commandment mankind ever received from God was "be fruitful and multiply"). Even with the sin. Even with the free will.
Now having said that, I can't think of a single good reason to set up a governmental, or economic, system that *encourages* sin. I simply can't. And that's why to me, partisan legislating of morality fails, because as you say, it's always about the morality of others, never the morality of themselves.
While the chaos is kind of the point- learning to overcome the chaos is the lesson in the chaos.
Is that neither the left nor the right are moral.
The left wants sexual liberty, the right wants fiscal liberty. NEITHER is for the common good, only the individual, and does not understand the chaos they've unleashed on everybody else in their lust and greed.
That's why I have my doubts about the entire concept of liberty and freedom. It breaks down to just license to harm other people. Especially homosexuality, which is inherently unjust and makes a mockery of the concept of love.
Yes- human divergence indeed. Or didn't you know that Catholics accept evolution?
Check out the link provided above. There is a line between the other homo species that preceded us, and "Behaviorally modern" humans.
The advent of the soul, is 60,000 years in the past. See link.
Our species goes back 60,000 years. Humanity goes back 60,000 years. Go back further, you aren't human. Go back to only the 1960s like you people stuck in Woodstock, you've missed out on a lot.
Only if by "our ancestors" you take the smallest slice of time out of the last 60,000 years.
You have a rather American sense of time.
You'd be "doing God's will" if you were living like our ancestors did, instead of trying to invent something new.
Tribalism is the real human- what we evolved to be *before* there was violence. Human beings are herd animals at our deepest instinct. Always have been, always will be.
"Humane" is just another form of bigotry, claiming to be better than other people.
Very tribal though- which is what humans are and will always be.
I don't respect people's rights when they conflict with other people's rights.
