Quote:No, I’m using it in general. I would think that atheists meaningfully consider opinions in atheist books without ever talking with the author.Without any explanation of those opinions? Like someone just runs off a one liner and everyone nods their head? Meh, maybe some, not me.
Quote:We disagree on whether aversion to poisons/allergens is objective or subjective, and that’s the only example you’ve given.Whoah there buddy, that matters very little, what matters is whether or not you think it's a compelling reason to dislike chocolate..not whether it's subjective or objective. Do I need to offer more than a single example when you claim that there are none?
Quote: Why not try some more?Seeing as how much bullshit you've attempted pile onto this one example..and the fact that I don't have to offer another...hows about I don't?
Quote: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.Best by what measure? More opinions I think. Looking a little further down I see you erode the very notion itself...god's subjective opinions are neither correct nor incorrect. They also appear to be as inexplicable as your tastes and therefore have no value to me.
Quote:Subjective opinions aren’t correct or incorrect.It is the opinion of some that there are inferior races, inferior moralities, inferior etc etc etc. Guess we'll have to throw our hands in the air on all of it. Oh well.
Quote:Sure – it stayed closer to target and recognized the conditions set by the OP.Whose target? Again, I am not the OP.....but thank you for demonstrating how easy it is to elaborate upon an actual opinion..as opposed to an opinion of a god.
Quote:No. Sometimes I like conversations which wander about, so those reasons aren’t compelling.Well the reasons you offered certainly compelled you to hold the opinion didn't they? I agree though, they aren't compelling in the way that my explanation of my distaste for chocolate is.
Quote:Seems so, yes.So what are we to learn from your opinions then? You don't even know why you hold them, except when you do (whichever makes the better smokescreen).
