You don't need to know why I think some thing is good or bad to know that I think that good things can be ugly, pretty, or neither.
You don't need to know why I think something is pretty or ugly to know that I can find the beauty in immoral things, the ugliness in moral things, or neither.
I need to know the basis for why it’s good or bad to confirm whether it’s objectively good or bad.
Since you believe in objective morality, I have to understand what makes your statement objectively good, the basis for why killing your enemies is good. And on that basis we can demonstrate whether it possess aesthetic elements or not.
The reason you don’t want to disclose that, is only because you know it justifies my argument more so than support yours. Your dishonesty prevents you from doing so.

The other day he asserted that words don't have meanings. So I'm taking him at his word, so to speak.
To his credit, he came back later and added the essential qualifier, "intrinsic." It's true that the sounds we make and write down don't have an essential connection to their meanings. But that's not what he said at first. And of course he didn't say, "oops I was wrong to leave off the qualifier." But then, "sorry" is just a word.
I think it's clear that he doesn't want a reasonable conversation with me. He's an insulter. So I'm just playing.
But isn't that Kyary Pamyu Pamyu video amazing? Andre Breton, you should be living at this hour!
Nope. You are trolling. Once again your bait fails. Let me know when you grow out of it.
No that’s not trolling, he’s demonstrating why an earlier argument was faulty, and inconsistent, because a good opportunity to do so arose in this thread.
I’ve had atheists argue in some threads that truth is subjective, or that the meaning of words and sentences are subjective, while later on appealing to objective truth, in other arguments all of which lend themselves as examples of their contradictory suggestions.
