"Crapola..."

<<<You give no reasoned argument>>>

"Yes I did. I said the preacher was inferring that those not under his authority were bound to dismiss the notion of right and wrong. Which is crapola."

No! In fact he is making a factual claim about the inherent and expressed beliefs of a particular form of eastern thought. If it's not true then you have a case for saying that he has constructed a straw man, if it is true (which it is) then you are making a false charge. (which you are)

"I have absolutely no obligation to show any such thing. What nonsense."

Then you are making baseless accusations.

<<<Unfortunately that misses the specific point of my question by quite a wide margin.>>>

"I like my summary way better than yours."

That is irrelevant to whether you answered the question that was asked. You did not. You answered your own question with your own agenda. You should have just said you didn't like the question.

"The specific point of your question was not a genuine question at all and we both know it. It was you trying to transition into a fire and brimstone sermon, probably a hidden agenda of yours all along."

Of course it was a genuine question and you are again devolving into name calling and motive questioning. Sadly it seems that's all you have to offer in response. In fact I told you exactly why I asked the question and it was in the context of demonstrating the falseness of your claim that the bible teaches there is no distinction between God and creation. No hidden agenda. Just my cards on the table.
