What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[Randy Carson]

You don't scream obscenities at me, Jenny.

You're proof that it IS possible to behave in a mature manner even in an atheist forum.

Yes, but CA ignores me.  Would you rather we ignore you Randy?  I'd rather CA member swore at me and replied rather than simply talked around me.

If I could ignore some people here, I would...the software won't let me. I guess some folks think their opinions are worth more than others.

You've only posted seven times, and the Philosophy subforum is not where you'll get the best action. Try Apolgetics or Non-Catholic Religions.

As to obscenities, I tend to reserve them for hammers I just hit my thumb with rather than people, although in extremity I do use them on people. Coming out of my cute little mouth (and I do wish I were elegant and beautiful rather than cute) it tends to have great impact.  But that impact would be lost if I swore like a sailor all the time.

Cute is good. I married cute.

However, I fail to see the real difference between calling people twisted and calling them a mother fucker.  The sentiment is the same.

Thinking can be untwisted by study and logic. How does one undo the other?
