Normally, I get insulted when I'm called "morally worthless," but considering the source, I'm equally insulted as when being called a "poo-poo head" by a five year old.

Liberals are empty because they force others to accept their social programs and vision while having no ethical justification for what they advocate that is equally authoritative as its negation.
That was not an insult, it is true. Liberalism does not have any unifying ethical teaching that gives liberal beliefs authority, they only have statements like "The greatest good for the greatest number", political tools useful for manipulative politicians to exert control over others.
The fact that there is no authority or requirement for anyone to obey the philosophy the state law is built on except force only serves to strengthen the wills of the politicians who make up empty phrase after empty phrase to justify their nihilistic worldview.
RE: Morally worthless, was not meaning to insult, only to educate. If you are a moral relativist, or a nihilist, you are morally worthless, because your beliefs don't have any validity or authority, therefore they are morally worthless.
This is not an insult, it is common sense. To do good to someone else means nothing when you do not know what good is.

More nonsense from the five year old.

Of course the issue of how doing good from the perspective of moral relativism has any meaning (hence "morally worthless") will not be broached, only insults. How adult like.
The Biblical concept of "fool" obviously and clearly describes the moral relativist.

You seem to think you have said anything that was worthy of anything but insults.

“Why is it that whenever someone says 'with all due respect' they really mean 'kiss my ass'?” --Ashley Williams, Mass Effect
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

Though I am sure you have been asked this question many, many times, I have to ask for myself.
What exactly are you doing on this forum?
You obviously share none of the views or opinions with anyone else.
Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind - even if your voice shakes.

I don't believe ONE word of that.
