Thanks for clarifying that you aren't claiming that your morality is any better than that of Nazi Germany. At least you are being honest about it.

Another tedious example of you misreading my reply and then responding to your own misreading.

Horray for FMJ! He wins,.....'absolutely' nothing.

Tell me exactly how I have misread your reply. If you disagree with my interpretation of it feel free to clarify it.

There has been some speculation that he hasn't graduated from high school yet. 😉

Over the course of this thread you have been asked for a few things. I'd like to focus on two and modify them.

1. Can you identify five moral rules that are absolute?

2. Can you tell us how to tell if a rule is absolute?

The second one may seem easy but it's not.

Why bother? Whatever I say you will either ignore, forget or misread.

I don't have a clue what you mean by those words. Which is why I asked you to define them. You declined. That lead me to believe you don't know what you mean by them.

Please define what you mean by 'absolute' so that we can be on the same page.

Of course you don't. By 'good' I mean 'virtuous', and by 'evil' I mean 'corrupt or depraved'.

Assuming that God exists, would you be so kind as to explain why you believe that it is morally wrong for God to take the life of a child that he has given?

Yes, of course. Given your inability to define the words you use, I cannot possibly know what you mean by them.

By 'good' I mean 'virtuous', and by 'evil' I mean 'corrupt or depraved'.
Can't you be more descriptive rather than trying to merely dodge the question?
Why do you not want to answer the question honestly? What have you got to loose? Are you ashamed of your beliefs? Ashamed of what you wrote using those words? What is the real reason behind your dodging?
