Nonsense.


I base my opinions on facts and logic. Obviously, that would preclude lying.


Duh?


 


Of course. They are vague when you divorce them from their context.


 


That's what I said.


 


There is no need to insult the intelligence of others.




On the contrary, any other person with some common sense would readily agree with what I'm saying.




Of course they are vague.


Is the commandment 'love others as yourself' applicable to a masochist?


Is it applicable to a person with suicidal tendencies?


How about a junkie? A prostitute? A suicide bomber?


Clearly, any form of human interaction conforms with 'love others as yourself' if one skews one's perspective radically enough.


That is not what the commandment of love is saying, now, is it? No matter how diverse we are, we share a single form of existence -- human existence -- hence governed by a single set of laws -- natural law.


Only within the CONTEXT of natural law is the commandment of love logical and valid.


This goes to the heart of the matter I've been trying to explain to you since forever. A relative morality simply DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE.
