Perhaps you don't see the point in me starting this thread. But people always ask me why I believe in God, and I've been in discussions about objective morality before where some people had a hard time understanding what I meant by it. So posting a video that explains one reason why I believe in God, as well as talking about objective morality, didn't seem pointless at all.
This is the second thread I ever started on here specifically to present my views on something (the other being my thread about Hell). Every other serious threads I've started have been to ask you guys about your views. It has become clear that doing so was a mistake and not worth it.
No, it's not my analysis of you at all. I feel like my entire point was completely missed. I was paraphrasing you, not putting words into your mouth. And you focus on that instead of what my post is even about. Which is simply that if you don't want to debate it or argue your stance there's nothing left to say. People are trying to argue or debate you and it's pointless because that's not what you're here for and I don't think that's why you made the thread.
Not everything someone says is a personal attack against you. I know some people in this thread were attacking you and being jerks but that isn't what I was doing at all.
Fair enough. If that's what you were saying then I apologize.
"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."
