    That is not interesting.
    Then finding specific fault with it shouldn't be a problem...
    ...as I've articulated plenty with yours.
    Obviously you haven't got a clue about the significance about that "law" - which resides entirely in its utility as a rhetorical distraction to the gullible.
    More accurately, you wish it did. :wink:
    Then you need to be taught, which means you can be taught to believe anything is right or wrong given the right incentives - which means you're every despot's delight. Enjoy.
    You may rest assured that I understand very well the rhetorical convenience in believing none can possibly think outside your subjectivist box.

    I could make something up, as many need to do, but I don't.

    One story that you might like is that a big, old, invisible dude who lives in the sky did it.

    If you need to pretend that respecting all possibilities is restrictive, then that is what you will do.

    When an animal dies flies collect, lay larvae, maggots eats the flesh, and that is that.

    Nature speaks plenty to us. If you don't realize that you are just not listening.

    You weren't taught right and wrong? You just learned it innately did you? Do tell.

    I grew up on a farm and I started having sex with our goats. My father had to tell me it was wrong to do that. Since that day I can say I have not had sex with a goat since.

    I simply wasn't attracted to goats so I never had to learn the lesson you did.

    There is no speculation about the physical aspects of death. It is well documented.

    To be sure. What the hell that has to do with anything I said, no one will ever know.
    What I'm missing is a reason to care.
    Took him seriously, did you?

    I suggest you stop multi-quoting and talk to us one on one. That is, if you are up to it.

    Not one bit. I was joking back with him. If you notice...he ‘liked’ my post, as he understood I was joking back. Try to keep up.

    You may be amazing how many folks like to imagine an old white dude with a beard who lives in the sky made everything. It is one possibility, of course.

    You'd be amazed how many people don't believe any such thing. Like virtually every Christian in the world above the age of five would think your description of their God ludicrous in the extreme.

    I will as soon as you explain to me how an allegedly "infallible moral guide" like the Bible is open to interpretation. Why is the same Bible used to justify contradictory measures of goodness among different groups of Christians?

    And I wouldn't call Yahweh "good." Not by a long shot.

    Yes. He was an atheist regarding many gods. Does your atheism towards Zeus compel you to murder?

    It's amazing how many leftists of late I have put on ignore. Whatever happened to the concept of style or class?
