Reread the thread, I discussed some of them along with other posters discussing others for a few pages, just a few pages back.

I'll wait.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I don't understand the question.

He's got it backwards.

When you claim that that there would be good and bad, outside of us, regardless of our existence.... that is you claiming that there indeed is intrinsic good and and evil. He's got it backwards.

Good and evil is not just WHAT God says so, according to Christianity, it's what he WOULD say so, if humans existed, even in a universe where humans didn't exist. Good and evil is embedded into his very nature.

I guess.

Thanks for telling me what I meant Hammy. You're so smart.

Why you bein' mean MH?  Sad
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I said thanks. I think Hammy should always speak for me.
