If it's somehow morally coherent to you personally, shouldn't you be able to establish its moral coherence to everyone if you believe it should be everybody's single "true north"?
People suppress the truth, it is easier to live in darkness they can do whatever they
want they love it that way. Thank you for your opinion.

Although you may sincerely believe that your beliefs pertain to something that creates some sort of jeopardy or dilemma for me, of course they don't, no matter how many times you refer to them as "the truth".

The same goes for my beliefs: they don't create any kind of farfetched jeopardy or dilemma for you.

I have maintained God is the judge and righteousness and justice as well as forgiveness comes from Him, not me. You think your way is more righteous than God, take it up with Him.

If you were propagating something less incoherent and less far-fetched, you wouldn't be resorting to this passive-aggressive riff.

Does your ideology make you feel you don't have a moral compass of your own?

You do not read my posts because I admit mine is as broken as everyone else’s.

You think you can alter reality by what you like and find acceptable? Do you have the insight into righteousness and evil that God does? Nothing of evil will go forward from this temporary world into the eternal, you will stand before the one who laid down His life for us, His judgment not mine will matter.

Our moral codes come from our parents, families, neighbours, workplaces, places of worship, schools and colleges, from our culture, from history and literature, and from the system of laws under which we live.

Our moral compasses synthesize all this and then interact with our personal unique narratives in order to make moral evaluations and decisions about our actions.

If ...[text shortened]... e around them can use their moral compasses to evaluate that person's actions and decide what to do.
This looks correct to me.

Now, If I can just get my mental compass to synthesize the last 8 months of tactics exercises I completed, I can begin to dig out the sinkhole of mediocrity. 😲

Yes, I know, but do you feel it's not your own?

I have never said people will burn alive for anything I believe or said, you should
at least stick to the things I have said, to do otherwise is well not truthful.

If you are distancing yourself from, or disavowing, the theology of eternal torture in burning flames, then it is to be welcomed: it is a depraved and morally incoherent belief. If your mind has been changed, then good for you.

It's noteworthy, though, that you never once questioned the ideology when sonship [a.k.a. jaywill] trotted it out here for the better part of two decades. Not ONCE did you have sufficient courage-of-your-convictions to debate or discuss it with him here on this debate and discussion forum.
