It seems you are not aware of the fact that this debate is centered around subjectivity, or objectivity. The idea is that true moral laws are objective. This would require a, as someone so quaintly put it, "supernatural" being.Backglass wrote:Why must there be?

This is the same BS line that Creationists use. "It is FAR to complex for us to understand, therefor it must have had a designer".

It is not a prerequisite to believe in fantasy creatures in order to live a moral life. Millions do it, every day.

Correct me if I am wrong but you claim that the fact we have morals is automatically proof of a creator. Your "requirements" are yours alone. You are inventing laws to fit the perceived existence of your fantastical creatures.
Allow me to play your game. Humans emotions are deep seated and diverse. This would obviously require Leprechauns. How else could they have come to exist without our little magical friends?

Qft. My morals are quite simple and they're based on philosophies that aren't religious. For example; Emanuel Kant (though I don't agree with all of his thoughts) didn't have any absolute morals in his moral philosphy.comic boy wrote:I have a set of rules ( morals ) because I choose to live in a manner which does not inconvenience others unduly, got nothing to do with some imaginary Judge.MelonanadeMaster wrote:Is there any logical reason to have morals otherwise?comic boy wrote:So you think that you have to worship a supernatural being in order to have morals ?

I would put myself in the category that believes there's a God. I wouldn't even know where to begin trying to understand what He's all about though. There are so many religions and attempts to try that I figure what's the use sometimes.

When I refered to debate I was refering to the specic logic I presented. I will ask you to trust me in what direction I was heading to with my particular case.
I'll gladly correct you. I'm saying that if a set of OBJECTIVE morals exist, it is logical to believe that there is an OBJECTIVE rule giver. On the note of your ever so quaint lephracaun, he, doesn't fare as well, on what a OBJECTIVE god would require, as apposed to the theories ammased over centuries on what such an OBJECTIVE god would be like.

Jay believes that there are CAUSES for homosexuality, not that it is a condition people are born with nor "wake up" having. Bottom line is, and this is my opinion, that homosexuality may be demonic. In other words, a demon enters an individual influencing that persons choices. I'm sure you have heard of the spirit of "gluttony", "wrath/anger", maybe even "homosexuality". I believe the Bible when it says, "We fight not against flesh and bone but against powers and principalities"."

Don't ever try and use Christian rationale and metaphorical imagery on non-Christians, they inevitably ridiucle you based on misinterpretations of what you say.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE FOR A GAY GENE.
I'll repeat so it is clear.
All your premises for discourse on homosexuality are wrong.

Whoopee! I too can screech and howl idiotic comments that have no basis in fact or logic, and then proceed to provide no evidence for them!
