I will because you are. So “moral relativism” is your latest label for my ideology. So, how does that function as an ideology in the way that Mormonism functions for you or Communism functioned for Mao? Real world example: Upon returning home from a shopping trip, I find an official looking bag ful...

I am moderately literate and fully understand the difference between "understand" and "accept." I don't expect you to accept the sole claim I have been arguing throughout this thread: your statements about what "secularists" believe and the existential threat you claim they pose is based on nothing...

More women are single than ever before and it’s costing them a lot of money. The share of never-married women increased by 20% according to a new report. https://fortune.com/2023/03/18/record-number-american-women-single-costs/ I wonder what the future is going to look like 20 years from now. Fivet...

No, God doesn’t. I’d be interested in your fleshing this out. Regards, MG Because, what we know of God’s principles comes from the writings of humans. And those writings do not depict a God of objective absolutes. The differences between the Good of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testamen...

Well, let's test that out. Do I fall within your definition of "secularist"? If we strictly define it as an individual that believes in separation of church and state, and that’s it, then yes. But then again, so do I. So are we enemies on that count? Regards, MG I don’t and never have considered yo...

I see no judge or jury. Certainly no executioner. :roll: And yet you believe I am doing the same to you. Simply because I disagree with your ideology of moral relativism (I’m assuming…at least to some extent…because of your non theist views.) and comfort level with ideologues (including those that ...

What you have never done in all these pages and pages of posts is describe what you contend is the "ideology" that competes with yours.

I think I have.

Moral relativism. I think we’ve discussed this.

God has absolutes.

No, God doesn’t.

You aren't relying on God rather than man. You're just a human being, just like me, who tries to muddle through and be a good person as much as he can. The only significant difference is that you cite God for justification to do whatever you choose to do -- including making bigoted accusations abou...

…you're doing exactly what you said Doc is doing: you're trying to score points. You listen only up to the point that you think you hear something you can refute. You never make any effort to understand. Look in the mirror bub. For your information, understanding doesn’t mean acceptance in all inst...

That's not to say that there isn't room for educational reform to help boys succeed, especially in the K-12 grades. The graduation rate is higher for girls, so it makes sense to consider whether there is anything about the structure of education that leads to higher drop out rates for boys. I think...
