Now you are trying to change and twist the topic because you got caught lying about, and deliberately misrepresenting, me. You originally said:

"The idea (which Greg holds) that humanity cannot have a moral system unless it is decreed by an infinite power is so irrational that it truly beggars belief." Message 25939220

I don't believe that and you failed to show otherwise, so you changed it to:

"You don't believe the relative and subjective systems practiced by various tribes and groups in various times and places on earth exist independently of an Absolute Morality communicated by God THROUGH HOLY WRIT and (as a back-up :-)) ...embedded by God in the human heart(for those gazillion people throughout time and place who have never heard of the tribal stories of a tiny group of families wandering in the desert when baby goats tasted great boiled in the mothers milk."

Again: a lie, (and a deliberate one) spiced up with a little emotionalism. All sorts of arbitrary moral systems "exist independently of an Absolute Morality". I have never denied it. So mow it's changed yet again to:

"saying that human morals are independent of God is the same as saying that they have no "grounding" in a God."

And your point is????? Is that supposed to resemble

"humanity cannot have a moral system unless it is decreed by an infinite power"

It does not! Atheists simply have ungrounded moral systems that they love to impose on others.>/b> Instead of spending all your time attacking Straw Men and lying about me, why don't you try to explain why anyone else should bother obeying your arbitrary ungrounded moral system?
