Fetchmyjunk: [A] someone getting angry with his sibling about something, and [B] someone arranging for the extermination of 6,000,000 human beings in 'industrial' death campsBut you did. "Equally evil", you insisted. Repeatedly. And stood by the assertion for months and months. Now you say that you're not sure anymore? Is this what you being "objective" looks like in practice?

Originally posted by @fmfIf the Bible says that it is unequivocally 'equally evil' then it is. If it doesn't, that is open to personal interpretation. The Bible clears says that if you get angry with your brother you are subject to judgement which means it is wrong.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerYou insisted that they - anger-with-sibling and murdering 6 million people - are "equally evil". Were you being "objective"?

Originally posted by @dj2beckerNothing you say about morality is "objective".

Utter subjective, superstitious, pretentious nonsense. You're entitled to your opinion that referring to your personal opinions as being "objective" means something to people who are not members of your religion, but it doesn't.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerI have already addressed this kind of comment. Why don't you engage the details of what I posted? You have blanked out what I have argued and described and keep repeating your slogan-type statements over and over and over again. What I have explained to you is nothing even remotely like "flying a plane in a storm without a compass". It's as if you haven't read or understood anything I have said.

When your subjective beliefs even about issues related to the core tenets of your religion are false, and when you subjectively evaluate your pseudoscientific creationist superstitions as better theories of reality than the validated herenow scientific theories of reality, what exactly makes you feel so sure that your subjectivism could ever be “objective”? If you think this time you can prove that “objectivity” is something more than our consensus regarding our collective subjectivity, kindly please do it
