You shall not follow other gods, any of the gods of the peoples who surround you, for the LORD your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; otherwise the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off the face of the earth.
Is God jealous? Or power?

No worse than the warning in Stargate about following false gods. This is in the language the people 4000 years ago were expecting. So what?

So what are we anthropomorphizing then? I don't have the Stargate quote to refer to.

More of a trope than a quote. From the first movie to the last episode of Stargate Universe, the entire series was on the difference between true and false religion.

Wouldn't know, didn't care for the show that much, just too chintzy. You can get the same message from a John Wayne movie if that's what you're looking for.
Usually you can tell a false religion by the volume and decibel level of the sermonizing. The level of violence they practice is also a good indication.

Not usually so blatently. But that response does show a good deal of what I've detected in you and several others- drugs doesn't cause an expanding of consciousness, but rather a shrinkage of ability to understand the world around you.

On the contrary, like any visual aid they reveal how small and insignificant our world is. Unlike the modern (Catholicism included, it is modern by historical standards) religions they shrink the ego, not one perceptions or understanding. That is why they were widely accepted in the ceremonies of many true religions predating Christianity, where man's false western religions (distorting the teachings of your Christ, which are plagiarisms, like Mrs. T's speech) expand the ego to assume great power over other

Yes, in a strictly mechanical sense. Are gravity and radiation moral things, just or unjust?
Re: (Score:2)
They most certainly can be moral things.
Re: (Score:1)
Again, morality did not exist before humans showed up on the scene. We are nature's "morality". It emerged from our brains. It is our gift to nature. Love is our gift to god.
Re: (Score:2)
It's easy to prove the existence of morality from natural law that human beings did not create, and gravity combined with LSD and high places is a great example. No matter how much the human brain under the influence wants to fly, gravity WILL exert a moral pressure not to- usually quite violently.
Re: (Score:1)
Sorry, gravity is simple mechanics and mathematics, totally indifferent, without prejudice of any kind, like nature itself. LSD doesn't even enter the picture. Taking selfies in the wrong place will produce the same similarly implied results, with much greater probability I might add. Get over it. You are not exercising any reason or expressing any morality here. You are merely cursing the wall you hit.
