What do Atheists believe the Bible as?

[Violet]

Whatever you can live with dear, so as to defend your inclination, as you mentioned earlier, toward criminality (Piracy).

I'm an anarchist, hon. My obeying your rules is only so long as they are heading parallel to me. Why I made my library legit is out of respect for the artists... not out of respect for the law.

What is actually fucked is that given that you think I'd take you seriously and hold you credible, when you proffer a defense of criminality that amounts to saying, it's not all that bad.

Criminality is not all that bad. Infact, it can even be very very good. Which are, of course, value judgements that you do not seem to hold in any similar avenue to me.

Is the law good because it is law? Seems you think so.

Oh my, how patently optimistic.
I wasn't aware she, and now you, were invested in making legitimate points. Rather, without the juvenile name calling and personal attacks, as she demonstrates herself more apt to afford, and now you in her defense, I doubt very much it would be worth my while to pursue a serious conversation.

It's a personal attack to denote your understanding of criminals as being fucked? I suppose it's also a personal attack to call the ketchup in my fridge 'outdated' or 'moldy'. I'm going to be offended now. I mean, look at all the personal attacks! I'm crying now.



It is, however, worth my while to mock nonsense openly.

The mindless platitudes you regurgitate as an accusation toward myself, are demonstrated repeatedly on almost a thread by thread basis by Aerzia. And you do yourself no great service in supporting everything she's had to say about criminality, interjecting your own observations, while concluding with the same asinine personal jab as is indicative of her nature.

I wonder if you know what some of these words mean. It fascinates me... your sense of self-rightousness that is. One does themselves no great service for supporting an argument with their own observations regarding its correctness?

Reasonable people know common sense, morality and decency can never be legislated. A personal moral code exists in the individual, or it does not. And while morality is not universal, that fact about it is.

Criminality exists in varying degree's and while someone who lies in order to have replaced 8 pieces of chicken they'd actually received and paid for earlier, only to later return to the store to lie and say they were absent in the order, as I saw happen recently at the local grocery, may be considered a liar and a thief, because the Deli staff knew full well they'd sold him a 16 piece bucket, that lie, that theft of 8 free pieces that it afforded, may have fed his family for a little longer.

Was his lie an illicit act? By the book, yes. If he was feeding his family the only way he could, having paid as much as he could but not having enough to afford more, perhaps not.

It all comes down to who we are and what we can live with.

However, while wasting my breath to indulge you with even that little bit, because a serious discourse is not your intent, when someone says my idea of criminality is fucked when they're a criminal, I don't give a care what she or you in her defense think of my taking issue with it.

Who better than a criminal to tell you a criminal's motivations? I'm certainly not about to ask a man about a woman's motivations, or a lawyer about a carpenter's.
