In your personal opinion, is 'homosexuality is immoral' a "universal truth"?

Let people decide for themselves if you have been participating in this discussion in good faith. I am perfectly happy for people to make what they will of my attempts to discuss morality here. But I certainly wouldn't want to be looking back on your behaviour as if it were mine.

So you think you have never missed a question that someone has asked you? At least I admit to be human.

There is no where in the universe where this reality will not be true. Truth corresponds with reality. When a statement is made and it corresponds with fact, with actuality, I believe it is true. I see no difference between 'truth' and 'universal truth'.

The "reality" of the universe you perceive is populated by gods and angels and devils and other supernatural phenomena. I don't share your superstitions. And yet you attach the term "universal truth" to the things you claim and imagine. Other than the extent to which it indicates how self-obsessed you are, it's meaningless to me.

I believe it is immoral because the Bible seems to say so at least by my understanding. But I have friends who practise this lifestyle and I try not to judge.

On this thread, I am not talking about "a question" that you've missed. I am talking about dozens and dozens of observations, viewpoints, questions and comments of mine that have been quite obviously and deliberately ignored. In many ways, the conversation has been lopsided with you blanking out most of what I am saying and then asking about already-answered/already-addressed matters over and over and over and over again, ad nauseam. My complaint is not about how you "missed a question".

Of course you look down on my beliefs and call them 'superstitions' yet you call your own superstitions 'gut feelings' because somehow that makes you feel better.

I use the word "superstition" to mean a belief in supernatural causality. If your belief system is, indeed, based on notions of supernatural causality, I do not see why you have reason to feel looked down upon.

Which question of yours have I 'deliberately' ignored? Feel free to ask it again.

You can call my gut feelings "superstition" if you want, I don't mind.

I told you before I see no difference between 'truth' and 'universal truth', so what is the point of adding the word 'universal' to your questions? I believe it is a moral truth that is revealed in the Bible. How many times would you like to hear this?

SInce you are insistent that truth is not universal, would you care to mention anything that you believe to be 'true' that is not 'universally true'.

I have already wasted enough time typing out countless sentences and paragraphs for you. Even when I reposted them you ignored them again. Even when I bumped some of them You ignored them again. I have lost count of how many times you asked me about things that I had already addressed in detail. Like I said, let people decide for themselves if you have been conducting yourself in this discussion in an honest and sincere fashion. They can make the same evaluation of me if they want.

If it were not for your incessant and ideological use of the word "universal", I probably would not have used it even once on this thread.

I only used the word 'universal truth' to differentiate it from 'relative truth', which some people may believe in.
