<<"You know, Greg--I never really meant: Replace "God". I meant, replace: Racism, Warfare, Chosen Peoples, Superstition, Genocide, subjugation of others, and Human Sacrifice. You can keep God...">> You express your puzzlement: "Clearly you seem to have a problem with these things, Why? Are they wrong?" _______________________________________________ Yes Greg, I believe they are WRONG. For a reasonable person they are hurtful, despicable, and "wrong". For a superstitious person, well--apparently they are not. They were certainly not wrong for Yahweh--so they can't possibly be wrong for you--not if you truly believe the actions of Yahweh are "right". Have a morally neutral evening. Do you believe my opposition to "Racism, Warfare, Chosen Peoples, Superstition, Genocide, subjugation of others, and Human Sacrifice", as practiced and ordered by Yahweh, is morally neutral???? Perhaps you think forcing people to eat their own dung is morally neutral?? And perhaps changing the penalty to cow dung was, like WHAT?? Morally progressive?? And of course you don't believe that REASON exists so you have no way of critiquing these remarks...
