Fellow student here, randomly got this via the algorithm. Feels like a discussion post response, but as a poli sci major, your points are pretty good and I'm strongly for a separation of government and religion. I think it's not just an erasure of art and a censorship of that which opposes the religious belief, but it obviously also goes so far as being an erasure of PEOPLE. A state which enforces a religious morality on its citizens infringes upon its citizens' rights far too much. I don't want to get imprisoned for painting my nails black lol.
For the next time you need to have a video graded, you can make the video viewable only through link, and then send the link to your instructor. Also from someone who randomly got this in my algorithm I agree with your perspectives on the authoritarian tendencies of theocracies.
I have to give credit to Christianity where it is due... I'm pretty confident that most of the moral issues we consider to have obvious answers, come from... Jesus's teachings
Many of Jesus’s teachings in morality derive from common teachings at the time or earlier religions like the golden rule is usually credited to Christian’s but was first shown in Egypt ab 7 thousand years ago and then was also in Plato’s teachings, Confucianism, and Hinduism, etc. which are very morally adept and outline things we still use to this day.
@@zoejones7505 Uh... actually no. Regarding his teachings being common at the time or derivative, every teaching I'm about to list was revolutionary and very countercultural: Equal value of women and men: Women are not second-class citizens. Valuing children: Children are not burdens but are to be cherished. Freedom for slaves: Advocated freeing slaves rather than perpetuating generational enslavement. Unconditional love and giving: Give and love without expecting anything in return-not based on reciprocity or retribution. The Golden Rule (positive form): Jesus said, "Do to others what you would have them do to you". This positive and proactive phrasing is distinct from Confucius' and the Egyptians' negative passive forms: "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself." Servant leadership: Lead by serving others, not through dominance and power. Reversing worldly values: Valued the meek and persecuted above the wealthy and powerful. Mercy over sacrifice: Prioritized compassion over ritual sacrifices, which were central to many religions. Lifelong monogamy: Advocated fidelity in marriage, counter to the norms of divorce and polygamy. Debt forgiveness: Promoted forgiving debts rather than punishment or enslavement.
Moral values are actually pretty universal. Nearly every society on earth teaches that it's wrong to lie, cheat, steal and murder. I would argue that if you narrow down to the things that ONLY Christianity teaches, you will find yourself with a lot of much less "obvious" positions.
@zanderaw I replied, but it seems to have disappeared. I'll see if i can find it. You will never see it said in the positive form as Jesus did. It was always do not do to others what you do not want done to you. He said, do onto others as you would have them done to you.
choosing your beliefs based on sticking it to your dad sounds like very sad and juvenile way to live btw the chinese communist party, an atheist government, has an unshakable iron stranglehold on artistic expression in china. thoughts?
The point you raise about the CCP is a valid one, but the personal attack you make on this young woman is uncalled for and has no bearing on the topic.
You misunderstood I’m not sticking it to my dad and never mentioned anything of the sort I said I was raised religious so it’s been a major part of my life and was very transformative. I don’t hold any ill will towards my family for having a belief I think it’s cool that they can feel connected to something like that personally I do not. But I think it should stay separate from my life on a federal level. Also I don’t think that any government should announce any stand on a certain religious ideal including atheism so that other point just means nothing to me I think it falls under the same umbrella. I believe countries should be secular and governments that are declared atheist like North Korea and Vietnam as well are not secular. Your reasoning still comes down to religion being apart of government which I think should not happen in any form including a forced lack of
@@dbmorton1114personally if I’m going to be honest I really don’t think it makes sense if you refer to my other comment :) but weird people on UA-cam don’t bother me lol I get much worse in person. Thank you though people can be odd hahah
@@zoejones7505 an atheists government and what you call a secular government are functionally the same thing, its like if i told you "i don't like water" or "i don't drink water". if a government wants to censor art, they're gonna find a way to do it, don't doubt that for a second.
@@Mayoeggsimply not true atheist governments absolutely are not secular atheists and secular are not synonymous similar yes but still have differences. Never said a government won’t for other reasons all I said is that religion is a common factor which is why I am in the oppositional.
Careful kid, seems like you might have been caught up in the algorithm.
Yeah idk why people are watching this lol it’s just a school project
@@zoejones7505 Maybe is a sign
You can set the video to unlisted if you don't want the algorithm to show it to people. Just as a heads up if you care, it was on my homepage.
I have to have it up so my professor can grade it but thank you I am going to probably delete this once it’s graded
@@zoejones7505 Ok, with unlisted only people who you send the link to can see it so that's what I've done with school assignments before.
@@zoejones7505 if you set it to unlisted, the link to the video would still works

Thank you for that it was my first time doing anything like this!
I believe in zoe Jones supremacy
youtube has suggested this video to me so hello i hope you are having a great day!
I'm pretty sure this was done for a school assignment. Regardless, thank you Zoe.
i was here!
Here for the journey, pls don't delete I'd love to see how far this random video goes
What class is this for?
lol I’m sure it will fall off after a day or two but it’s for political science
