A delinquent is a minor who commits crimes or immoral actions, so yes, teens who engage in sex are delinquents.

Consider: The poster in question is in a repetitive loop and is stating his position in the broadest and most absolute manner possible. When challenged, for several pages, he simply restates the broader terms of his stance.

Someone truly vested in such an argument would have at the very least considered it slightly if only to justify a dogged adherence to it and would have, at some point, created at the very least some nuance to the way they express it.

Further, in the absolute closest he is able to come to what could be considered a support or defense for his position is to apply a bizarre caricature of the logic to arguments about evolution and young earth creationism, suggesting not only a familiarity with them but an acceptance to them. While it is entirely possible for a Christian super-moralist to also accept science as science and does not in and of itself denote someone who is having a laugh, the fact that such detail in one area while lacking in another, plus the increasing ridiculousness of various statements does lead one to a particular conclusion.

Taking that all into account: How much sincerity do you want to assume the poster has?

A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones reference, there is a character called Gren :P

But I must ask, how can you reconcile Christianity with the fact that you reject Christian morality? Surely any Christian must at least acknowledge their sins, rather then pretending they don't exist, or trying to justify any un-Christian action they partake in to absolve themselves of feeling guilt.


Ah. I never got into that series.

I don't reject Christian morality. I just fail to see how the ideas of a rational, loving, merciful God, as inherently required by Christianity, can be reconciled with the ideas of a God who would consider things that don't inherently deprive others of their God-given rights without informed consent to be sins. Either Christianity's basic assumptions about the nature of God are wrong, or the people who are claiming that God considers certain things (which harm nobody) to be a sin are wrong. Personally, I prefer to believe the latter over the former.

Which isn't saying that I have not sinned. I have certainly done certain things in my past that have deprived people of their rights. And I own that, and try my best to not do them again.

Wanting irrefutable fact and reasoning is not a cop out, sorry. If only mysticism and unprovable dogma are your defenses, it is best not to bring up a subject as ot will be disregarded by most of the community.

You could try to do so using basic facts and logic. You don't have to appeal to the Catholic Church's authority.
It is impossible to definitively prove anything is immoral from a secular standpoint. If there is no God, then morality does not exist.

An argument can be made to lend credence to certain moral views from a secular standpoint, but none of them can be proven beyond any doubt. I am admittedly not very skilled at debating, and lack the tools to make such an argument effectively, however I know such arguments exist, because I've seen them, many times. It all makes sense within my mind, but I cannot figure a way to express my thoughts in a way that can be understood argumentatively.

Immorality has nothing to do with any definition Ive ever read. Not inclined to beleive it.

Really? So the secular legal system doesnt exist then?

You realize people have an inkling of what is right and wrong without a mystical figure, right?

It's completely true. If God does not exist, then morality is a meaningless invention of man, and is completely subjective, and thus no single moral stance can be proven as true.

Yes, the painful truth of reality is that there is no one thing that will ever be an absolute truth. Absolute truths don't exist in reality.

It would be an invention of man, yes, but not necessarily meaningless, at least, not any more than things like language are meaningless. Social constructs still have meaning.

If that were the case, you would have to acknowledge the meaning and validity of the supposed social construct that denounces promiscuity.
