You want to be able to hide your worldview while you attack and insult others.

When you insist upon prefacing your posts with false declarations, how do you expect to be taken seriously?

"while we often find him clinging to dogma as he demonstrates the feral nature of one who knows no distinction between virtue and the baser transgressions of an oaf."

"Be free and have peace,"

>>>Passive aggressive much?

Again you resort to parsing ...tsk. In any event, there was no passive aggressive content in that passage you clipped. Unless it is your impression that I was intending to finger you in the first part as an oaf and wish you well going forward. I was not but even if I were or if you especially identified with that sentence, it would not qualify as passive aggressive. If you identified with that particular part of the passage, I can see why it caused you some discomfort.

"That's just the way it is" has no explanatory force.

It may be true that it does not explain it self, especially when clipped and taken from the context in which it was delivered... a context rich in explanation, which you ultimately agreed with, and which we have discussed at length already.

You are now just being intellectually dishonest.

>>>"Why are things just the way they are? "

I've already discussed the practicality at length. A discussion I offered to continue but you closed out of the fear you wouldn't be able to pin divisive labels on it. Or more likely, you feared what finding agreement with me might say about your club membership.

>>>"Were we intentionally created that way or is it just an accidental unguided result of matter in motion? Why is there matter? Why does it move? You provide no basis to evaluate your assertions."

Evaluation is not the proper term here. Judgement is what you are looking for and you are not qualified.
