Quote:(If you're wondering what "stupid question" I'm referring to, this is it: "Why is peaceful co-existence the goal rather than some other state of affairs?" Right - war, poverty and bigotry has worked out SO WELL for the human race so far!)So what you're saying then is that peace and its consequences for the human species (and presumably you would be willing to extend that to other creatures if you are not a speciesist) are better than the alternatives. Which is the whole point of my stupid question about the consistency of moral nihilism and "progress".
If you don't have time for me than I don't have time for you pal. This whole shtick you've got going of answering a question with a question is pseudo intellectual and masturbatory in it's very nature. You manage to interject without ever making a point. It's arrogant sophistry and I'll have nothing more to do with you. I THOUGHT I'd attempt a legitimate conversation with a Christian. Obviously, you have proven to me once again that you people are utterly useless.
