Self righteous, are we?
It’s easy to point fingers, isn’t it? Especially if you’re preaching to the choir. You won’t have ONE person here publicly disagree with your faulty assessments.

That took all of five seconds to google. But MG isn’t really interested in learning, is he?

No you don't "appreciate" what I'm saying. You don't understand it all because you completely fail to make any effort to try and understand what I am saying. It's another example of your blindness: you engage in sophistry (thus, your moniker), so you think everything I am saying is "sophistry."MG 2.0 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 11:01 pmYou’re the one…Res Ipsa wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 8:27 pm
LOL. This is classic projection. You're the one that divided Americans into two baskets: people who believe in God and people who don't. It's you who thinks that everyone in your nonbeliever bucket is the same: Res Ipsa, Stalin, Lenin, Mao -- all go in the same large basket. You are doing the dividing on the basis of religious belief and non belief -- not me.
It’s you who thinks…
You are doing the dividing…
Res Ipsa, I appreciate what you’re trying to do here. And it’s not appreciated. You spent a good portion of your post ‘spin doctoring’ in one form or another. You are a pro at doing so. You ought to be. As I said earlier, that’s your bread and butter.
Your sophistry is admirable.
But at the end of the day it’s a matter of whether a jury would look at underlying arguments and evidence as having merit and/or whether or not there is reasonable doubt.
You have your own logic, no matter how at odds with other people it may be. I suppose someone who gets inside their own ‘logic bubble’ and makes their ‘truth’ the greater Truth one might call self-righteous.
I read your posts and have not been able to get past the fact that when I read what you write much of it just doesn’t ‘ring true’. I know that is partly my bias. And partly my own belief in an all knowing all wise creator that knows and understands infinitely more than any one of us can understand.
Your arguments and logic are all you have to counter the arguments against God and His commandments. Excuse me if I find your argumentation less than persuasive in regards to reasons that we ought to ignore what many are able to see right in front of their eyes.
Society is changing.
Some things are just right and some things are just wrong. The trick is determining what is what and which is which.
I do appreciate the fact that you’re winging it and trying to do the best you can with the knowledge that you have in regards to morality and ethics. And if it works for you, great. In my earlier posts I expressed some thoughts in regards to why this might be very risky in the population ant large. Especially when there are competing ideas and ideologies that might get in the way.
That’s where the rubber meets the road in respect to whether or not civil society will endure. If we didn’t have so many weapons of destruction at our disposal it wouldn’t be as big a deal. Different world. Different consequences.
Personally, I’d rather place my bets on God and His judgements and knowledge than the wisdom of man which can be fraught with error. I’ve seen that too many times to count…just on this backwoods forum.
Thanks for the conversation. It is enlightening.

Nope. I didn't make any reference to me being righteous. I compared you to other theists I have known. You are the one claiming to have a Supreme Being that agrees with his opinions. I make no such claim. I'm just an ordinary human being.
I click on your link and it goes back to the first page of this thread. I would suggest that this IS a good place to start for those just coming in to see/understand that it is not I that am trolling, it is you.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 11:56 pmWanna know how I know MG is trolling?

Of course I would. Because that's what I have observed. You spend posts and posts telling nonbelievers what they believe without ever thinking of asking. Only after I pointed that out did you even ask what I believe.
Hold your horses there Jimmy. Cool your jets.
You apply situational ethics just as I do. Is it wrong to kill another human being? Depends on the situation, right? That's situational ethics. See Laban.MG 2.0 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 11:15 pmYour broad brush generalities expressed earlier didn’t do much to explain your views applied to situational ethics in which the rubber meets the road. Thus, the further inquiries to clarify your positions. I wasn’t overly hopeful that you would take the time to respond.Res Ipsa wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 10:15 pm
Why are you only asking me about my worldview now? You can't even accurately explain it, but you've been making all sorts of derogatory claims about it. That's bigotry.
As far as your broad-brush issues go, there is no simple term or phrase that describes them. As you ignored the first time I made some general statements about my worldview, I'm not inclined to write several treatises on what I consider to be complex topics.

Yes. Page 1 demonstrated perfectly what RI observed. Re-read your posts and comments.I think it's pretty clear from his posting here that he isn't interested in learning anything about what and how nonbelievers think.
