You labelling your personal opinions "objective", "universal", "absolute", etc. etc. ad nauseam, doesn't work and isn't necessary.
The word 'objective' has absolutely nothing to do with magic dust.

-Removed-Anyone with a little bit of common sense would agree that the words written in the Bible are objective in the sense that they are not influenced my personal opinions. If the Bible says that drunkards are outside the kingdom of Heaven, my personal opinions about getting drunk become irrelevant, do they not?
Originally posted by @dj2beckerI've addressed all this before. I suppose we can just agree to disagree as long as you bear in mind that I am utterly nonplussed by your attempts to aggrandize your superstious notions by referring to them as "objective" and "universal truths".

Originally posted by @dj2beckerWas what the survivors of Flight 571 did with the bodies of those who did not survive the crash morally acceptable or morally wrong? If it was not morally acceptable, why not?
Read one of my earlier posts where I addressed this issue. The Bible is clear cut on quite a number of issues. My personal opinions are irrelevant on moral issues where the Bible is clear.
