But you did ~ about seven days ago ~ here in this forum. You called promiscuous women "whores".

That was speaking generally, not specifically toward anyone in particular.
I'm certain you can tell the difference.

Now, if your daughter came to me and asked me if I thought she was acting like a whore, I'd tell her the truth--- something you're unwilling to tell her, for whatever reason.

Again, you're relying on nature to inform your sense of "right thing."

Well, sometimes people just discredit themselves with little or no help. You may be worried about things you have said in the past on this forum and worried about them being mentioned, but I am not worried in the slightest. I stand by everything I have ever said, and will retract anything that embarrasses me if necessary, and if and when raised in discussion. I won't be using the "retrospective trolling" defence. You may find you need it though. So go for it.

A bill is the demand of a person who must actually work to cull a small bit of useful energy from the earth.

Not very becoming for a God. All he has to do is say "Let there be light."

I would not generally call sexually active young women "whores". And I would not generally call women with multiple partners "whores".

Well I wouldn't call her a "whore". Would you?

I see the theists have redefined 'troll' to mean 'person who questions me until I say something regrettable'.

I assume "retrospective trolling" is a concept you are going to use to dodge questions in the future when you get caught contradicting yourself, or denying you said something in the past when people can see that you did.
Bingo!!!

But I don't think sexually active women are "whores". So why should I use the word? You think it's the right word to use. Like I said, "sewage" is in the eye of the beholder.

Oh FMF I am not worried in the slightest but I thank you for your concern never the less.

You simply don't get it, do you?

If God has said one thing, but something/someone appears as God saying something else entirely--- something in complete contrast to what He has already said--- who, in their right mind, would listen to the second one?
So, if God says 'go rape someone' and another man says, 'don't do that! It's an atrocity!', we all know who you'll be listening to, right?

Please point out, yet again, that this is a ridiculous question. Yes, it is. It's ridiculous to put yourself in the position of following another's commands without using your own moral barometer to gauge their worth.

No.
A troll (in this case) is a person who continually harps on an issue, constantly turning the phrase every which way, yet not as a means to get a better understanding, but rather as a way to then use that exact phrasing in a legalistic manner to support a charge of supposed moral inferiority.

It's been used by small minds for centuries.
