"And I assure you there would be no child molestation going on anywhere around me, island or no island. That's way outside my boundaries."
Mine to. Would you create a Law about it? I would. I only mentioned it because I am "trying" to communicate to you that if all morality is reduced to only personal boundaries, then you have no right to impose yours on the pedophile, or anyone else for that matter.
"I was not talking about the island in the post you referenced."
I thought you were.
"My island, as I intended it, is not hostile to religion, it is just apart from religion." We can drop the island if it would make communication easier.
"I did not admit any internal inconsistency. I can't imagine my having a philosophy that was internally inconsistent. I have too much systems analyst in my blood to not start twitching at the mere hint of internal inconsistency."
Again I thought you did
I don't get my rights and wrongs from a supernatural source.......mine are complex so they may, at times, come into conflict with one another. X has the twitch so bad she is constantly ROFL, but seriously, if your not twitching, you should be.
"Greg, I was talking about my personal approach to right and wrong"
I fail to see how you can divorce your personal approach from your public stance, especially since there are probably, children being molested right now as we debate the matter.
