=Dr.Watson;2775824]I'm not. I'm pointing out the inconsistency of belonging to a religious group that is supposed to live by a certain set of standards based on the life of a supposed man-god and yet behaving in ways completely opposite to that standard.
Dr. Watson,
Why would it be wrong for me not to live up to any atandard in an atheist worldview? And for you to judge be inconsistent, you have to use laws of logic. In your world, only matter and energy exist--only the physical. So why are you using the immaterial laws of logic to argue that only the material exists? Aren't you being inconsistent and illogical?
Frankly I don't care what you're like or what you do. I'm just pointing out that you are not like the character Jesus of Nazareth. That's all.
If you don't care, then why did you post it at all?
A fictional character loosely based on a (probable) real person who lived approximately 2000 years ago.
Jesus can't possibly be a fictional character and a real person in the same way at the same time. If you are going to use God's logic, at least be logical. But you do know tht when you use logic you are being inconsistent with your worldview. Don't you?
Says you. Thankfully, science doesn't depend on your twisted idea's of reality.
Dr. Watson, I'll post this again:
"If morality evolves by accident, then my morality and your morality and Barb's morality and Granite's morality can't possibly be the same. If not the same, then subjective. None of us could condemn another's morality; we are all accidents of chemicals.
"Morality is noncontradictory and some particular behavior can't be both moral and immoral at the same time in the same way. Do you agree?"
Your answer to my first paragraph was "Says you." And then you made an undocumented appeal to science. Science is an abstract concept that really does not tell us anything.
But my second paragraph you omitted and ignored. I would like an answer to it. Do you agree?
And sometimes they are not. But because we all evolved from the same ancestors, they generally are the same.
If evolved, then nothing can be right or wrong in your worldview.
A non sequitur is an inference or conclusion that does not follow logically from a premise. My argument is that if morality comes from evolved matter, then morality can only be subjective by definition. For any morality to be objective or absolute, there must be a Moral Standard above man-not below.
Again, you use logic, which are not physical and come from the rational mind of God, to argue that God does not exist. Laws of logic and rational thought can't come from reasonless chemicals. They can't give you what they do not have to give.
Yeah. I've heard you spout this garbage before. No one is buying it. It's a joke.
The reason you are not "buying it" is that you can't refute it. "Not buying it" is an excuse not to admit that you can't justify laws of logic and morality in your worldview.
