You accusing me of hating Jews:

You mean you accidentally revealed too much? Shocking.

Kramanica was doing the same thing, and more blatantly than you:

That's how I see it.

It's really not though lol this incessant denial and circling of the wagon is really tiresome.

Why can't you just fess up and admit you want the Jews kicked out of Palestine.


As for the wife-tapping, that was pages and pages of stuff that started way back when. But I'll drop that because that wasn't really you lying about me, it was just you understanding the difference between a tap not being abusive and actually beating someone which is abusive.

And for any passerby who's wondering what I'm talking about with "wife beating" and "wife tapping" go here. Scroll down until you see "'Wife-Beating in Al-Islam'" and use those links.

Hitting someone not "severely" is still domestic violence, Amin. I really don't see what is so hard to grasp about that.

*rolls eyes* No. You can't be serious. Please tell me you aren't serious. That may win at least top 3 for stupidest things you've said. A pillow fight is consensual and all sides want to participate in it. Otherwise, yes. It is wrong, Amin. Just like if I punch someone during a boxing match, it is alright but if I punch a guy randomly on a street, it isn't. You really seem to be having trouble grasping the basic concept of consent. What with this and your support for marital rape.

I'm talking about the force being similar to a pillow fight. A more accurate comparison is this (watch 0:35 - 0:53)

Morality from god is objectively objective, as an omnipotent being enforces it. And I agree with things being morally wrong, but without a source other than "I feel it to be wrong, for these reasons" it can differ from person to person. God's morality isn't subjective if an omnipotent being does exist, merely our interpretations of said morality are inherently subjective unless they are directly revealed to us by said deity.

That's not true tho. Religious morals are essentially god's morals, and like any other morality, that would also be subjective (and also, generally not a good set of morals). God saying his set of morals is objective is essentially the same as me saying my set of morals is objective. Both are false, though mine is probably a better set of morals.

If a being is in the unique position of omnipotency then whatever they say goes. in theory, religious morals would be god's morals, but as shown on this thread no religion is united on what their religion's morals are. If everyone in the entire universe will be judged according to a set of morals, this is the standard and therefore the objective benchmark of morality. Concepts like "my morality is better" are also meaningless, as this in itself is subjective. To Amin, your morals are likely not as good.

God saying his set of morals is objective is essentially the same as me saying my set of morals is objective. Both are false, though mine is probably a better set of morals.

If a being is in the unique position of omnipotency then whatever they say goes. in theory, religious morals would be god's morals, but as shown on this thread no religion is united on what their religion's morals are. If everyone in the entire universe will be judged according to a set of morals, this is the standard and therefore the objective benchmark of morality. Concepts like "my morality is better" are also meaningless, as this in itself is subjective. To Amin, your morals are likely not as good.

But logic also dictates that god's omni-stuff is limited (i.e. his omniscience and omnipotence are both limited to the boundaries of logic "can't invent a four-sided circle" and also to his whims at the time), which also makes the "Whatever he says goes" part untrue... which is actually not even an atheist's view, but a religious one (i.e. almost every Jew that I know of) because, you know, from an atheist's point of view, god's morality isn't superior because its benefactor doesn't even exist.

Never forget that the Muslims literally made up a new meaningless name for him when they forgot the name of Adam's Firstborn.

An omnipotent being is not confined by the laws of logic, it is inherently above such constructs. If such a being wished they could easily create a four sides square, a rock which they couldn't lift and then lift it. Omni-potent means all powerful after all. From an atheist perspective there isn't an objective morality at all. So of course an atheist won't believe that God's morality is objective, because they believe it is a man made construct.
