Quote:2. You are confusing objective morality with application. We are rarely in a position to apply anything objectively.You've been arguing for a divine command based subjective system of arbitrary proscription.....calling it an objective morality, and you think I'm the one that;s confused about something.....?
Quote:3. You keep missing the point. The objective part comes from the nature of God. We can know of this through God's commands. We are not in a position to apply HIS standards for him in the absence of a command. This is not hard.You don;t have a "point" to miss. You have the articles of your faith, which you repeat ad naus in spite of all comments, criticism, evidence, and reason to the contrary.
Quote:4. I would respond to an example if done in context and not framed in derision.I know, my questions are mean and super hard, therefore you fail to respond on point.
Quote:5. You don't want to understand any of this. You think you do already and just throw out statements that are equivalent to talking over the top of someone in a discussion. You suck at discussion with someone of a different opinion and I wouldn't bother with you except there are others reading that might think you have a point.Regardless of whether or not a person wanted to understand any of this, you wouldn't be able to help them do so. You don;t understand it, not just objective morality, you clearly don;t understand the articles of your own faith. You're simply here to regurgitate whatever was mama-birded to you by whomever took you for a fool.
Who, in your opinion, shows their contempt for you, in this little drama? That asshole, or the person who tries to goad you into using that big brain of yours? I'm here, if you want to talk to me about objective morality, in a thread entitled "Objective morality as a proper(ly) basic belief"....but if you want to talk to someone about what a ghost told you to do..maybe you should head on back to that guy....eh?
