So while it won't convince you, it convinces me. To state that I should prove objective morality or that without it won't be a delusion, to me seems something I've discussed through out the years as a Deist.
As for objective morality being something exalted pure servants of God would be guided too, I think it's obvious given the purpose of objective morality is we know it and follow it.
Perhaps it was a slip to say all pure servants would be guided, but the exalted ones, I think it makes sense they would be guided out of the pure ones. (There is higher ranks to those who become pure).
You've given me no reason to while claiming to possess reason to.............that's about as bad as it gets. This is the black spot at the bottom of the pit..there's only one way to go from here, up. This has nothing to do with what I do or don't want.......you are failing to do what you insist you are doing. Understand? It's not my problem, it's not Bobs problem. It's your problem - and you're never going to be able to overcome it if your every reaction to that is to point at a perceived difficiency in another. Your argument is unconvincing to me not because of anything I want with regards to a god - but because you have failed to present a compelling or reasonable argument - regardless of how convinced -you may be-.
End of.
I fail to see how you've used any of that to establish that Islam is true and it is far...far below the threshold for any reasonable person to consider it a fact, you've given me no explanation. You keep making declarations of faith and then saying "obviously, if I believe this then I believe that" - the "obviously" needs to take up more than one word's space in the conversation...I think. The thing that tickles me pink is that islam and god is justtached to all this...you;re not really considering islam or god. You think this or that thing about praise or wisdom..and on the basis of that you extrapolate to points unknown. But if praise didn't have anything to do with god...you'd still be extrapolating on praise, and in the same manner.
-As you did when you were a deist-
Are there different armbands for this ranking system. Do we get to wear badges? What if someone is sort of in the middle but they've been hanging there along time and you don't want to cut them loose....can we make an unofficial middle rank? Or maybe can we do a split at baby chevrons and sham shields? You understand how silly this all sounds to me...yeah?
