Which answer specifically did I ignore? As I said before if you had in fact answered it and it was worth repeating you would.

The ones I gave when we discussed this before. I don't need to repeat myself. I feel I explained my stance clearly. You don't need to repeat the questions over and over again as if I didn't.

This is one of your trolling punchlines.

Not really. It's just me refusing to jump through the silly hoop you have used, instead of engaging in genuine discourse, since back when you were posting as Fetchmyjunk. Perhaps it was a tactic you learned from the people who abused you until you were 24.

Again just more insults and no answers. What's your excuse?

I am trying to talk to you on the level about a topic that interests me but without indulging your clumsy ignore-ask-again-ignore-ask-again trolling style.

You know what I think about the labels/adjectives you attach to your personal opinions about morality. You know that I am nonplussed by the effect you think it has on the gravitas of your beliefs.

You know what I think about rape. You know what I think about the Nazis. You know what I think "evil" is. You know what I think about genocide. You know what I think about torturing babies. You know what I think about ISIS.

You know what I think about the source and purpose of morality is, why it varies, how it adapts, all explained in full. You know what I think about when different moral codes compete or clash. You know what I think about moral codes driven by a belief in supernatural causality.

You know all these things. You don't need to ask me questions about these things over and over again. You repeat yourself instead of engaging.

Yo ...[text shortened]... sk me questions about these things over and over again. You repeat yourself instead of engaging.
Of course I know all those things, but none of them answer the question I just asked you.

So, let's put the whole thing of you forgetting that we had discussed things behind us. And see if we can move the conversation forward.

You seem to believe that these assertions have moral content:

A) God exists.
B) God created the universe.
C) God put laws in place that govern the universe.
D) God's creation is subject to the laws of the universe because they are part of the universe that God created.
E) God is not subject to the laws of the universe because he is not part of the universe.

In a similar way and for a similar reason, do you think these assertions have moral content:

A) God exists and created other beings that exist.
B) God put laws in place that apply to everything that exists.
C) God is subject to those laws because he exists.

I'm not interested in your red herring about gravity.

"Laws" refer to morality.

You concede that you know all those things. Good. We have made progress. I will refer back to this if you slip back into the ignore-ask-again-ignore-ask-again routine.

You totally missed the point.

The premises I made were to explain to Dive why I think God does not have to be bound by the laws of the universe. They have nothing to do with moral content.

I have explained to you why I reject your premises. If anything you are the one not reading my posts.

None of those things which I know you have said answer the question I asked you.

They have nothing to do with moral content? Oh I see. So your A B C D E assertions have nothing to do with morality, whether it be morality as it pertains to humans or the morality that they perceive as pertaining to their god figure? So when you refer to the "laws of the universe" you are specifically excluding morality from them?

You yourself said morality only pertains to humans, or does it now apply to God when it suits you? Since Dive is supposedly a Christian I was talking to Him within the context of his Christian faith.
