Circular argument of the day award.
Also I would like to point out that Drich is arguing for something much more disturbing than it appears at face value, as he has done in other threads. He is arguing for a crusades type morality in which the supposed "will of god" is the only standard by which actions are judged. One is compelled to follow the will of god as the ONLY moral precept. There is literally no moral in this conception only obedience to god's will.
He has expressly stated that genocide, slavery, and the like are perfectly acceptable under the guise of divine command.
This is a dangerous kind of fundamentalism. One I doubt very much that even he believes and puts into action.
