I wouldn't be caught dead on "Ask God", and when John Galt was around I was busy exploring different ways in places far beyond the reach of the Internet. So I might have missed out on some pearls of wisdom, though I've seen enough to suit me.

Your previous statement that morality is black and white, and that there is an absolute line between right and wrong, is fundamentalism of a variety that could only fit into a cesspool like "Ask God". We've been through this one before, though, and I know that demonstrating your error will not change your mind (another characteristic of fundamentalists). On that occasion your response to being clearly wrong was a classic example of "blank-out". You got silly, and tried to dance away from the issue. It didn't work, and you came off looking ridiculous. Do we have to do that again?

<<<To say continuously defining, redefining, accepting and working within objective reality is a religion is ludicrous.>>>

"Objective reality" as applied to social phenomena is a religious concept. That's all it can be.
