Originally posted by EddieZilker I seem to remember that we've had this conversation, before. Your position seemed entirely too reliant on a shifting-sands premise. It was almost similar to a conversation I had when I was five about whether my blue might be seen as someone else's yellow. That is to say that one of us was seeing either blue or yellow but, since we'd been trained that it was called one or the other, one of us was actually thinking that the color yellow was called blue. Or was it the other way around? It doesn't really matter because I'm not about to get into that conversation, again.

Excellent dodge, and excellent misrepresentation of whatever point you were trying to claim that I made, while throwing in a veiled ad hominem attack with the five year old comment. Awful lot of nothing relevant in that comment.

You're better than that, really.

I was referring to the quote that opened the thread.

Accurately and objectively define what a "good" person is, and what a "bad" person is, and I'll write you a thousand word essay on why you are the most brilliant mind in the history of human kind.

I figured but without an apostrophe, I had to make the pun.

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence or even make a veiled ad hominem. I'll even acknowledge that it's a drastic over-simplification of our discussion in comparing it to the one I had when I was five. While I might enjoy discussing it with you, another day, I'm just not in the mood, right now, and have other matters that need tending to.


But you're still wrong.

No I'm not.

are all catholics belong to us?

I think it's extremely harmful for mankind and the world if you spread the idea that it is positive to believe in something without reason, and do things without rational reasoning. If we can be good to our neighbor because of a false god, can someone then be evil to his neighbor because of a false god? You don't have anything to distinguish between the positive and the negative.

- And here's an interesting thought: If someone immediately thinks "I would never do anything negative in a god's name", we see immediately that there is no need for a god to be moral. It's built into us. We can easily be charitable without a god telling us.

There are only negative consequences of believing, because the positive, we could easily do without gods.

did EddieZilker ever post here under another name?

No such thing as evil, maybe.
