You got the second part right.
Quote:So you are saying he believes arrogance and pride are good things?
Nope. I am saying he doesn't believe them to be sins, but you knew that.
Quote:Where does it say the preacher has to believe what he is preaching to be true in order for it to be considered preaching?
Nowhere, nor did I say that. He doesn't believe in the Bible, nor was he preaching it to you or labeling you a sinner. He was showing you that the teachings you say you adhere to are quite obviously not displayed in your behavior.
Quote: All true.
Pfft. Only the last part.
Quote:No it isn’t, it’s the very foundation we use to shape our morals. If I own myself I determine my own morality, if something greater than me owns me I must conform my morality to that.
Change that we to a "me" and I'll agree with you. The foundation of your life is ancient lies. That has naught to do with me.
Quote:Proof of this?
Your conceit and your lying (oh, yes, you're not as smart as you think you are). Do you need more?
Quote:He didn’t think anyone owned him and made up his own morality too you know.
Hahaha. You're comparing me to Jeffrey Dahmer? What a douchebag you are. If someone owned you, Stat, I'm pretty sure you would not be allowed to behave as you do. If you were the only Christian I ever spoke to, I would hate Christians with a passion. Luckily, I know smarter and kinder ones. You're a fisher of men failure.
Quote:Philosophically speaking ultimate standard and ultimate authority for truth are the same thing dunderhead.
Not in the slightest. Quit falling back on "philosophically this" and "philosophically that" to make it sound like your vocabulary fuckups are philosophical interpretations of language. Authority and standard are not the same thing. You are like a little synonym creator aren't you. Worldview is the same thing as lack of belief. Authority and standard are the same. You have been pulling this shit for fucking months, dude.
Quote:In order to give you a chance to backtrack since you seem to have realized how ridiculous your relativistic claims were I will ask the question again but use the phrase you seem to understand.
You mean you will ask it again in a way that better suits your agenda?
Quote:Shell, what is your ultimate standard for truth?
