robvaule, I am still not satisfied with your response to my questions. However, in the overall scheme of what the thread is about, I do not find your belief system to be particularly problematic. Quite the opposite, really. But I am still not fully satisfied. I do not think that the effort it will take to achieve complete satisfaction will be worth the minimal gains to be had, so I am not going to pursue the matter any further, unless you prod me to do so. And even then, I might just suggest that you read David Hume's Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals.
Too bad you are so far away and unable to drink, or I would want to buy you a beer and have a pleasant chat in a local pub.
