"You didn't simply list "western vices"." I listed western vices as attributes of evil and that was not the use of force and it had nothing to do with denouncing any sort of conformity or non-conformity. Case closed for the 20th time or thereabouts. Everybody is getting tired of your game. How many times do I have to figuratively knock you out?? "You called the actions of the followers of God, objectively morally evil. Do you want to argue whether or not hate and other attributes of evil are evil now?? "You claimed that God gives no heed to YOUR "objective values"" What the header actually states is: "He is intolerant to everyone but his own, and even there he is mercurial, capricious, inconstant, and violent. He evaluates all matters in accordance with his feelings, and gives no heed to objective values or ideas." Do you disagree with the above statement?? (You claimed that) "His followers used that as an excuse to commit evil deeds and "emulate" evil traits." Do you disagree with that statement? Would you like me to provide some examples of what I meant?? "You are using absolute moral pronouncements to impose moral obligations on to others" Again, you perhaps do not understand the meaning of the word "imposing". In its clearest sense, "impose" means to use force. Expressing an opinion in a thread header is not using force. It is not imposing. What do you think you were "forced" to do or "imposed" to do?? As to "absolute moral pronouncements", we will correct that to "objective moral opinions". I grow weary of your straw men effigies. "You claimed that this could not be done except by physical force" As that link PROVES, I claimed that IMPOSING could not be done except by force and force is what impose means--DUH! "NOTHING can be "imposed" on others except through FORCE" "I have shown quite clearly that abusive language (like calling someone evil) is also a form of force" So you slip right back into STUPID LAND, eh??!! So I guess you mean that naming hate and other attributes of evil as evil is what--the "force" of intellect?? Maybe the "force" of gravity?? Maybe the "imposition" of ether?? "Compelling" of the Nazi Youth?? What is the matter with you?? You are a real wing nut. "Is it time to discover a God based on acceptance and love...rather than on fear? Can the human race advance beyond the killing fields, while it yet mires itself in emulating the evil traits of its many anthropomorphic Gods?" Thank you for getting back to the thread purpose. Hooray for greg or e! Thumbs up for that, Sport!
