Thanks, I know the terms I'm using. Unlike you, apparently, because by 'developed', I'm referring to the development of my own, individual brain, not anything to do with evolution.
My brain is not in a sociopathic state because I know these definitions, can compare or have compared my behavior to these definitions, and extrapolate the results. I know the concept of deriving results from observation and evidence is alien to you, but humor me.
Also, you completely dodged the second part of my post. Your morality is derived from a holy text which permits and encourages many terrible crimes. Where do you get off criticizing my morality as subjective when your "objective" morality encourages you to rape, murder, pillage, destroy and commit genocide?
My morality may be subjective, yours is rooted in what almost anyone would agree to call evil, if they were "objective" about what's in that work of fiction.
Sorry about dodging the second part. Since there are terrible crimes in the bible then you should be able to tell me why they're terrible.
BUT first we have a problem with the validity of your brain, which is a huge hurdle we must get over in order to continue. I don't doubt your intelligence. I believe you're made in the image of God and therefore able to reason logically.
You said you KNOW definitions and can COMPARE your BEHAVIOR to these definitions. You can EXTRAPOLATE , DERIVE and OBSERVE also. But the very thing that can do these things is the very thing in question in the first place. Your brain.
How do you know your brain is fully developed and not in a sociopathic state? "My brain tells me".
Uh Oh! Do you see the problem here???
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
