Irrelevant, this does not answer the question how you know the standard for a meter stick is indeed a meter long?
Quote: Contrast with your claim about God and your unit of measure of "good". You can't prove your god exists nor can you offer any evidence to substantiate your claim that this god is the measure of goodness. At least I can present the yardstick.
I assure you that a yard-stick is not a meter long. I believe you granted the God of scripture’s existence for the purpose of our discussions did you not? Why are you going back on that now? Either way, now saying, “Well God does not even exist so meh!” has no bearing on whether the concept of the God of the Bible is in fact good or not. He is good because He is the standard by which all other goodness is measured just like the meter-stick standard is a meter because it is the standard by which all other meter-sticks are measured by.

I figured you’d try to pull something like this since you know you are in an environment that is very friendly to you; however, the other readers’ opinions on the discussion have no bearing on who made the best logical arguments in the discussion. Now that will be 19.95 for teaching you yet something else you apparently didn’t know about logic…
