Is it entirely unnecessary and insulting to inform people...That they are evil in the sight of GOD and bound for hell?
As a human being, how is such theology acceptable and a good and reasonable thing to be stating or even implying of others, on a debate forum or even in day to day life?
Are people right to be able to take a stand against such theology and call it out for being dated, dark, based upon information from dark ages, based in ignorance and evil of intent?
What gives individuals the right to say such things about others?
Is it a form of abuse?
Should others have to take that kind of abuse about their persons without protesting it?
Is it entirely unnecessary and insulting to inform people...

Re: Is it entirely unnecessary and insulting to inform peopl
Post #181You already admitted that you would pick the intelligent designer (Da Vinci) over given natural phenomena; as you compared which is more likely to produce the effect (painting).Bust Nak wrote: That does not follow. That's like insisting that a black swan is not a swan because you've somehow gotten into your head that "all swans are white."
So pretty much, you are committing the taxi cab fallacy if you don't apply that same logic to the given real life scenarios (creationism/naturalistic).
After you admitted this, any further discussion about anything in that regard is useless..about as useless as the "s" in island.
I don't follow.Bust Nak wrote: You say that and yet there you were, saying you cannot be bothered to go back pages up pages to find out what and how it was said. Why do you response with "I don't remember" as often as you do, had you actually went back to check?
Too much work. I don't believe in working that much and not being on the payroll.Bust Nak wrote: So go and check, provide links back to any quotes you think is relevant.
Oh. You think so?Bust Nak wrote: But the extra stuff you typed was just an attempt at ridicule.
Again..Bust Nak wrote: First you ask me defend not sacrificing human, my response was one ought not sacrifice human because it is wrong.
Me: Defend your position that sacrificing human lives is wrong.
You: Ok, I will defend my position; human sacrificing is wrong.
Me: .....
Ok, so God exists; because I said so.Bust Nak wrote: Then you asked me why it is wrong, in turn I told you it's wrong because I say so. The ball is in your court.
I most certainly don't. Remember, the subjectivity of X is based on your view.Bust Nak wrote: Why would you think there was any subjectivity of X in the first place?
Your attitude towards the problem of evil is based upon how you view "morality/evil". Since you view morality as subjective, so you will only look at the problem of evil from a subjective lens.Bust Nak wrote: By going with my views, YOU are appeal to subjectivism. The problem of evil doesn't require nor imply subjectivism.
You just don't get it, do you, sir? SMH.Bust Nak wrote: That's the whole point - I get to general because the problem of evil does NOT presuppose subjectivism.
I did.Bust Nak wrote: When one typically tries to drop a subject, they concede stuff.
Didn't work, did it? Ok, how about this; how about I try to drop the subject and give you the last word? Will that work?Bust Nak wrote: You "tried" to drop the subject and still have the last word
It does.Bust Nak wrote: , insisting that somehow the problem of evil presupposes a subjective standard of evil, it does not.
Well, I am choosing your particular standard for now, literally for the sake of argument.Bust Nak wrote: Okay, let me reword that, it isn't about my particular standard but any standard you care to choose.
......Bust Nak wrote: Does that matter when the argument doesn't impose subjectivism?
LOL. You can have the last word, sir.Bust Nak wrote: So you kept insisting, let me repeat my defence again: human sacrifices is wrong because I say so.

Re: Is it entirely unnecessary and insulting to inform peopl
Post #182Oh, but I DO apply that same logic to the every real life scenarios. For artificial instances of specified complexity (painting,) I would pick intelligent designer (Da Vinci.) And for natural instances of specified complexity (aurora borealis,) I would pick natural phenomena (ionized particles).For_The_Kingdom wrote: You already admitted that you would pick the intelligent designer (Da Vinci) over given natural phenomena; as you compared which is more likely to produce the effect (painting).
So pretty much, you are committing the taxi cab fallacy if you don't apply that same logic to the given real life scenarios (creationism/naturalistic).
What exactly are you bringing to the table other than doubling down on assertion that "it is impossible for specified complexity to exist in patterns displayed by configurations formed by unguided processes?" I would again point to my analogy, that's like doubling down on "all swans are white" in the face of a black swan by denying that it's a swan because well, "all swans are white!"
I am saying you don't put in any where near enough effort into your post as demonstrate by your frequent "I don't remember" when the conversation is often still on the same page of the forum and all you have to do is scroll up a bit. Perhaps more to the point, simply put in the effort to keep track of a conversation for maybe a day or too.I don't follow.
And how do you think that would look to readers to our conversation?Too much work. I don't believe in working that much and not being on the payroll.
I do think so, as confirmed by your "LOL."Oh. You think so?
That is a misrepresentation of the conversation even as a summary. Let me correct that for you:Me: Defend your position that sacrificing human lives is wrong.
You: Ok, I will defend my position; human sacrificing is wrong.
Me: .....
You: Defend your position that sacrificing human lives is wrong.
Me: Ok, I will defend my position; human sacrificing is wrong because I said so.
You: *insert the above misrepresentation* LOL.
You think whether God exists is a matter of personal opinion? What are you, some "existential subjectivist?"Ok, so God exists; because I said so.
Well there we have it, the problem of evil does not presuppose subjectivism. At best you've shown that I presuppose subjectivism.I most certainly don't. Remember, the subjectivity of X is based on your view.
That still doesn't mean the problem of evil presupposes subjectivism.Your attitude towards the problem of evil is based upon how you view "morality/evil". Since you view morality as subjective, so you will only look at the problem of evil from a subjective lens.
The question is why would you expect anyone to "get it?" What you said is illogical, no one can "get it."You just don't get it, do you, sir? SMH.
And yet here you are, telling me that I just don't get it, that's some concession.I did.
Sure, that would work. You were incorrect when you claims the problem of evil presupposes subjectivism.Didn't work, did it? Ok, how about this; how about I try to drop the subject and give you the last word? Will that work?
I am getting the last word: it doesn't.It does.
Okay, that still doesn't means problem of evil presupposes subjectivism.Well, I am choosing your particular standard for now, literally for the sake of argument.
I've been having the last word on that front for a while now, given you've responded with nothing much more than successive LOL's when I point out that given subjectivism, what I say is evil, is evil.LOL. You can have the last word, sir.
