If you imply that others are mentally ill for referring to gods will as justification....I can just as easily imply that -you- are mentally ill for doing the exact same thing. I guess we're both just lucky that you haven't heard that voice..yet?
If it's our job to determine objective morality, you're failing at it (and it's more than a little bit of doublespeak to say that it's our job to determine objective morality, but not to judge...you've been telling me these guys were wrong quite alot, you know).
You understand me. I was referring to people who are mentally ill, and also to people who believe God commanded them to do horrendous things. I was speaking about them as 2 seperate types of people, not as the same.

You don't have to worry about that, but thank you for the concern.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
