pop morality

LOL, yes, the baby eating is very important!

And in Drich's case, the -next- step after number 3 once he realizes he can't argue against anything in number 2 (because it is STRAIGHT text from his own book), is to say:  "yeah, well...I'm not saying God's moral code is -better- necessarily..."

Um....Yes, that is EXACTLY what you were saying.  That was EXACTLY the purpose of your own thread, in case you forgot.  How embarrassing!  [emoji23]

The thing to always remember about Drich is that he is a True Believer in Paul and Paul's Christ, so he takes seriously Paul's claim that the law, as supposedly revealed to Moses, is really nothing more than a stumbling block meant to demonstrate the insufficiency of any moral code and our utter inability to redeem ourselves through acts -- hence the need for grace and Christ's atonement. It's the perfect theology for unembarrassed sociopaths.

I'm getting the same tune.

"Objective morality comes from only the Bible"

So slavery is ok?

"Those laws are not the real objective standard."

But you said it's in the Bible...

If Paul is the new Moses then women who speak in church are blasphemers... women who don't cover their heads are a shame to the church. Right. I can see how this is a good objective morality that leads to optimal happiness.
