"You provide a link of your compulsive ranting about God and credit that to me..." You're really hurting, aren't you, Jewels? Perhaps I have been too hard on you. There was nothing in the link that was compulsive or ranting; nor did I credit the link to you. It is my link--so you are just being plain silly. I sent you the link as proof that you admitted that you did not get what I was helping you to get. You see: You thought I had left. But if you had read the post you previously responded to (as copied below) then you would have realized that your thought of my leaving was tantamount to a full admission that you did not "understand any of this." "For the last time: It does not matter how credible or logically sound an idea is. Objective ideas of morality may attract broad agreement; but this has NOTHING to do with the question of whether or not they are OUR ideas or GOD's ideas. If they are our ideas then they are NOT ABSOLUTE. If they are God's ideas, then prove it. "Torturing for the fun of it" is a concept abhorrent to virtualy all human beings. But an almost universal agreement does not prove or even suggest an extra-human component to the idea. This agreement and abhorrence exists on the subjective level without needing to invent an extra-human source. Nor is there any necessary truth implied by virtue of agreement. There was almost universal agreement that the earth was the center of the universe. There is now almost universal agreement that it is not. Neither of the ideas were supernatutral inventions even though they had the appearance of truth and almost universal agreement. I have been more than patient with you. However, there is a limit as to how much time I will waste on one who does not appear to be making any effort to understand, but who merely seeks to evade whatever challenges a private agenda. So if you still fail to understand any of this, then Au revoir for now." Message 19142266
