I wasn't reading anything into it like who is represented Raj. If you think of the bible parable about pearls before swine it's along those lines (to me). It tells me that some arguments are not worth having and simply should not be engaged in.
You don’t think both are about setting up a hierarchy of opinion, to claim that some people are unworthy of debate seems like the epitome of arrogance to me even though I’m guilty of thinking it myself.
Both stories enable the teller to discount the content of the argument based on who’s making the argument. I suppose being religious leads inexorably to arrogance, because your opinion achieves a literal god like superiority in the eyes of the self.

Experience

I am not claiming to never make mistakes, but I am confident in my research and decision making.

I find that the greatest asset to confidence is the use of woodie words; “gorn” being the greatest example 😂 Graham Chapman I salute you !!!

Assuming objective truth doesn’t ultimately exist all discussions are ultimately pointless as no one can be objectively right or wrong about anything. That irony is lost on you.

According to Dive, ‘the grass is green’ is merely a subjective opinion.

Clearly he does not. Had he known that he would not have started this thread.

But it could be. I bet there are certain types of grass that have at least some blue tint to them.

You sound like you're simply not comfortable with inductive type arguments. Well, that is too bad, because that's the best we can do on many truth questions.

My wife and I have often disagreed on whether something is black or very dark blue. We would bring in a third party to mediate, ratify and decide.


At the last judgment God the final authority and ultimate decider will make literally a LAST judgment.


But are you saying that will be his last decision?

This is the basis for nearly all the arguing you do here.

It's the result of constantly looking at everything through a big lens labeled "ME!"
