Should’ve responded to other questions earlier, but you’re correct! Congratulations!

Not murdered, born somewhere other than Australia or Tuvalu in the real world and either a male or female human?

Re: What is Morality?

Do you not realize that all you are saying is that murder being wrong is a part of an ultimate moral standard? You are saying that it will always be true that murder is evil, no matter what. I agree, because the Bible agrees. You agree, because you say so. You are simply placing yourself as your ul...

Tyrannical prohibition on murder :lol: Without an ultimate standard, that's exactly what it is. Not to throw your words back at you or anything, but: "Aha! You see, here is my point.

Re: No trace of human DNA or Deity DNA found in local eucharist

Fair point. But it is much easier to come to an agreement when both sides have a standard to be held to. It is much easier to determine whether a nation's actions are right or wrong when we have something like the UN's Declaration of Human Rights to measure it against. And if that standard is inher...

Re: No trace of human DNA or Deity DNA found in local eucharist

And you just claimed that faith is not limited to religion, making it non unique. If by faith you mean extremism, then we are talking about something separate entirely. No, I did not mean 'extremism'. Try "firm belief in something for which there is no proof" or "complete trust" (the latter could p...

Re: No trace of human DNA or Deity DNA found in local eucharist

Certain faiths, yes. But in that case you disregard the one hundred million killed by the Atheist USSR and communist China. You also disregard the fact that murder rates are highest among Athiests. So no... you have lied. People without faith are just as if not more violent. And in any case you dro...

Re: What is Morality?

There exist ultimate standards aplenty, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that just celebrated its 75th anniversary within the last week. I certainly understand that. But Atheism does not dictate an ultimate standard, and different Atheists may have different ultimate standards. Som...

Re: No trace of human DNA or Deity DNA found in local eucharist

Tell that to the victims, both in Israel and in Palestine, of the current war in the Middle East. Negotiation is good, yes, but it will never solve everything. There will always be people who disagree so strongly that to them, violence is the only answer. Only if they have faith! Faith is the real ...
