My views on objective morality

[Mystic]

But most of this harsh stuff is from the fundamentalist protestant wing of the Christian family.  The Catholic church isn't wed to the bible in the same way.  Doesn't mean it isn't ever deserving of criticism.  But since every adult is entitled to their own opinion on such matters there is no call to be overbearing about it.  No one has authority over what anyone else may believe.  If anyone cares about changing minds, they will do better to give and earn respect.

I agree. But they're entitled to be assholes too. I think, when you've been affected by horrible things, certain beliefs on certain topics make your emotions get the best of you. When someone says X think about X topic, my knee jerk reaction is to think you're a fucking monster. Doesn't mean they are or that I even think they really are. Debates just get crazy sometimes. I, personally, don't like to let things from a heated debate affect my opinion of anyone else. Parenting debates for instance I've had thoughts about people where for an instance before I take a deep breath I thing what kind of sick child abuser am I talking to here. I think everyone in this thread should take a deep breath and just drop the drama. You're right, it's better not to be mean but that's life and it's over. Time for a group hug.

ps - yes to that question you asked long ago, it is a Warm Fuzzy Feeling, at least it starts that way. And it's (the warm fuzzy feeling) guiding your nature all the time, the treasure within you, and one day inshallah it will be intoxicating wine you drink as well, and your eyes, ears, and tongue, and then you will see with the eyes of certainty how connected the signs of God are to the source.

How long will you listen to the noise of unreasonable doubt keeping you away from hearing the thundering sword in your soul?

(That's my way of saying, I believe in you Losty, I believe one day all this none sense and word salad I speak will make sense to you.)
