Christians celebrate rape, torture, slavery and genocide.

[John V]

Am I losing some argument?

Yes, that there are compelling reasons for subjective opinions.

I see our disconnect about "the written word" now. You're using it as a pronoun for the biblical narrative

No, I’m using it in general. I would think that atheists meaningfully consider opinions in atheist books without ever talking with the author.

Well, that's unfortunate, but apparently I do..so compelling that you somehow felt that they became objective...as if by magic.

We disagree on whether aversion to poisons/allergens is objective or subjective, and that’s the only example you’ve given. Why not try some more? The best would be on systems of morality, as that’s where Darkstar and I left off, and he doesn’t seem to be coming back.

I wouldn't have presumed to extend that to the opinions of a god in your estimation. Are you of the opinion that god's subjective opinions are the correct ones to hold?

Subjective opinions aren’t correct or incorrect.

Sounds like an opinion, and a subjective one, but it's better is it? Bet you could elaborate on that..you could explain how it was better.

Sure – it stayed closer to target and recognized the conditions set by the OP.

Do you think you have compelling reasons for holding this opinion?

No. Sometimes I like conversations which wander about, so those reasons aren’t compelling.

Or, maybe, it's just another matter of your inexplicable tastes with no compelling reasons to support it?

Seems so, yes.
