Kudos for the tripe observation, as that is an accurate general observation describing pretty much anything GC posts. I'm also quite fond of 'drivel' as completely accurate.
However,I'm unfamiliar with 'the privilege debacle'.

Quote:I beg to differ, the God of the Bible and morality go hand in hand they are one, you can not separate them.
Simple reply:demonstrably untrue. The moral principles found in The Torah are predated by Buddhist teachings and the Greek philosophers by over 600 years and by the Egyptians by around at least THREE THOUSAND years. Also worth looking at Taoism and Hinduism which also developed independently of Judaism and Christianity. PLUS at least some of the moral law found in the Torah was lifted almost verbatim from Hammurabi.
l really don't know why I bother,it's like trying to communicate with a chook.
