Reply #60 - Oct 12^th, 2019 at 3:44pm @ Morphy I don't need to believe in god heaven or hell to see a mistake as an opportunity to learn. If mistakes aren't evil then there is no reason to prevent them, there is no need for hell or judgement. If then you say mistakes can be evil then see the picture above.

Call people flat earthers for saying "it depends what the definitions are, that's why this argument has not settled the matter" and they have emotional reactions? Who would have thought?

Now quick "I didn't call you a flat earther, you're getting emotional!"

This is not rational discussion. This is trolling. And that is tiresome.

I didn't call you flat earther I said your argument is not good because it can be used by anyone with true or false basis . I didn't know that flatearther was such a big insult.

please try and argue against my first point , not only what you find insulting.

Ok well if you didn't see it either PS I'm not going to bother with responding to that. I've spent most of the last 30 hours with patients on an ambulance and I'm too tired to sort all this out.

I'm going to take a step back for a bit. I want to thank everyone for their thoughts. I love hearing other people's opinions and whether we differed or not I really enjoy hearing the variety of different beliefs we have here.

That being said hopefully someone can shift the track of this thread to something more productive.

Sorry for any insults and maybe being cynical with my arguments. Thanks for the valid arguments for or against morality, nice discussion. I guess I should stop posting to this topic , it would be good for both parties.

Don’t be so quick to write Sarosh off PS. He’s been expressing personal opinions, not trolling. Trolling implies that someone is saying things that they don’t actually believe for the purpose of goading others and disrupting the conversation. I don’t think that’s what Sarosh was doing, so please don’t be so dismissive.

Now we can move on to less controversial topics like politics, Glocks vs 1911s, or the Dallas Cowboys.

If you’re a Cowboys fan, they’re the best basketball team that ever lived!

Thanks a lot Morphy. You invoked Hitler again, and now we can’t talk about baseball either!
