What’s funny about this, is that I gave you the reasoning and principle that answered you question, and yet you claim I dodged the question.

Then I asked you a followup question for elaboration, which you refuse to answer. And you have a history of dodging challenging questions over and over again. When I say you're a master at dodging, I'm not talking just this thread.

If you have a challenging question that is on topic, I would suggest that you test out your theory on that. We where currently discussing if morality is objective.  I try not to avoid challenging questions, but I do discriminate against questions that bounce around and are meant as little more than a red herring to distort the discussion.  You guys seem to have a habit of changing the topic, when confronted with challenging questions, rather than a systematic thoughtful dialog.  You then claim that people are dodging.  When your responses are not related to something I said, but are about something else, then they tend to get ignored (just not for the reason that you imagine).

I'd be willing to bet that some amount of comments as to the subjectivity of moral systems are directed more toward the reality of some moral system in the real world.  You're not really speaking with people who -don't- think that skullfucking a toddlers corpse is objectively wrong and bad, lol.

That is my point... however we can't really move forward as long as it is maintained, this is just a matter of opinion, or societal approval.  We'll just end up back where we started, with them saying that such is subjective and dependent on the person.

In your case, that person is God, lol.

Ill make another prediction: If hes gonna adress this (at all), his special pleading will revolve around something he will call "gods nature". Dead Horse

Even if he did say that, it still wouldn't resolve neither the arbitrariness problem nor the independency problem of the Euthyphro Dilemma.

Well, much of it -is- a matter of opinion, or societal approval.

You and I have no problem moving forward, though. We've agreed that the notion of an objective morality is a sensible concept.

Perhaps (and we've had discussion before, as I imagine we will again).  But it gets confusing carrying on two different conversations at a time in the same thread. I mostly came in, to say that the moral argument is not saying that those who do not believe in God, cannot know or be moral.  That's not what the argument is.

No, that's just something that many christians believe, lol.

Similarly, when they remark on the subjectivity of moral propositions they're not contending that their every moral position is, just...like..an opinion, man.
