I figured you were just trying to mock me, but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and to always act as though I assume the best of everyone.
Oh Jeebus Crisp.

Lol?? This is a laughing matter to you? We're talking about rape and murder and horrible things in general, and you see fit to lol?
Quote:Truth is Becca, you and I just disagree on the anatomy of the whole thing. You see objective acts and personal culpability as being one, indistinguishable thing. I see them as being 2 separate things. Which makes sense, because I believe in God, and you don't.
"Objective acts"? What does that even mean?
Quote:At the end of the day, we were both able to come to the same conclusion about the woman in your story... which is really all that matters as far as we're concerned. The conclusion being that she should be found innocent of the crime of murder, and that her culpability is eliminated.
The "woman in [my] story" was my piano teacher for years; I spent a lot of time with her little boy, and I knew her husband fairly well. My parents played Bridge with them, and when she left the hospital after two years (she wasn't found "innocent", rather "guilty but mentally ill"), she went to amusement parks and lunches and parties with us. How do you feel about your glib responses? Are they objectively moral?
