A human christian women let their newborn baby to die in the forest while her and her family fucked off to an impromptu trip. The baby was only found thanks to the dog barking and trying to bring attention to it.

If the first statement were true then Adam and Eve did not sin because they literally did not know right from wrong until eating the literal fruit of the knowledge of food and evil.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

They literally didn’t exist. It’s a story made up by people to scare children.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It's a weird story though because the moral seems to be that even adults don't do what they're told. And sometimes your sister is hot.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Alternate take if you’re into it: “Sin” only exists in our mind, once we perceive it we create it. Naivety truly is bliss, knowledge is a curse.

But having knowledge also means you know how to do drugs and neat ways of fucking, so … win some lose some.

They were literally told what they were allowed and not allowed to do before they ate that fruit.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 17 hours ago

They literally did not know what they were doing was evil because they literally did not know right from wrong.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, but they didn't understand that not following God's orders was bad. They weren't capable of making moral decisions because they hadn't eaten the fruit yet.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

If you follow the story, it’s apparent that the end was engineered. And that the real villain was not the snake or adam nor eve but god itself

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago

The serpent is a Promethean figure and is forever disfigured because of it.

Cats do nothing but sin because they have no soul.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

here's an insult I think belongs here:
"unlike AI music, this song has a soul. And that soul deserves to go to hell."

I don't think cars should go to hell though

Autocorrect loves changing cat to car for some reason.

cat: stares intently at the growling human while slowly pushing the mug off the table

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Cat: I'm bored. Let's see if I can get the hairless ape 20x my size off the couch. Ooh! I bet they can't get over here before this hits the ground.

After years of training to know what the word ‘No’ command means.

[–] taxiiiii@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Years of training the human by playing stupid you mean.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It doesn't take years of training, they just don't care.

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 day ago

Oh, they do care. That's why they do it.

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

This isn't right or wrong; it's a guaranteed reaction.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah it's bullshit. Pro-social animals like dogs, primates, elephants understand group norms and social expectations e.g. appeasement behaviour. Its probably how our own "morality" developed as a species.

And there's evidence to suggest some species like dolphins absolutely do exhibit moral type behaviour like fairness and cooperation.

[–] the_q@lemm.ee -3 points 1 day ago

Your examples, and honestly calling it bullshit, operate under your human understanding of right and wrong.

Me, a homo sapiens, belonging to the animal kingdom

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

This homo bragging about being a kween. Work, bitch! 💅

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

By this logic psychopaths do not sin.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 6 points 22 hours ago

Explains why so many of them own Megachurches

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Right and wrong is one thing, sin is another. Sin is doing stuff that God says not to do, morality doesn't really come into it. Cats can't sin because they don't have theistic religion.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Defying an authority figure is not a sin. What if it tells you to do something bad, like slit your sons throat and burn the body? Defining sin as questioning authority is BS.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

That is precisely what differentiates sin from evil. It's why we have two words for those two things. Abraham would not have sinned by killing Isaac as ordered. But it would have been an evil act, and stupid and insane

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Cats are their own gods. Letting them see the bottom of their food bowl is a mortal sin and you will burn in kitty hell for it.

[–] delonicks@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Animals can't be evil. Period.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Evil is a human definition. I'm sure there have been tigers/bears/sharks/hippies that have gone on killing sprees that have been defined by humans as evil, though they were working well within their own natural framework of aggression.

*I meant hippoes, not hippies, but the statement stands.

[–] delonicks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Human trait only, sorry.

Ceo of black Rock is evil, where's an animal comparison??

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Homo Sapiens, subfamiliy homininae, suborder Haplorhini, is a animal too.

Btw, chimpanzee wage war and crows bully in groups.

[–] delonicks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

War and bullying isn't evil look up the ceo of black rock

[–] delonicks@lemmy.world -1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Humans aren't animals you facetious dipshit

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Look, if you have a good reason why humans aren't animals, i'm happy to learn that.

No need to get all personal.

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cats are definitely evil. Adorably so, sure, yet evil nonetheless.

Dolphins, too. Cruel, rapey bastards, the lot of them. Orcas in particular probably enjoy killing and hurting their prey almost as much as cats.

Most birds are evil in a stupid birdbrained sort of way, even the smart ones. Should've gone extinct sixty-five million years ago with the rest of the dinosaurs, the bastards.

Chimpanzees are almost as creepily evil as humans (not bonobos, though; they just want to get along and fuck as much as possible).

And then there's us.

[–] delonicks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

The ceo of black Rock is evil, cats aren't on the same page..
