Well that's rude. Your 'Regards, DL' is annoying. What does it stand for ?? D*ckheaded Liar ?? Somebody ban this troll. He's been here a day and caused more trouble than I have in my year of being here.

Some interesting points. Thanks.

Some I agree with others, well, just wow. Like the view that God would end sacrifice by having one last really big one for the gripper. So to speak.

I was surprised that you did not think homophobia and misogyny as immoral since you do know a bit about reciprocity and the Golden Rule.

You may be right that I would have to wait for a theist to engage but I did pull the following for a quick follow up.

"I'm no expert on matters of moral philosophy, but from the two classes I took on the subject, it would seem that it is not the same. The positive form is instructive. It tells us what to do to others. The negative form is prohibitive. It tells us what not to do to them. It is trivially easy to follow one rule and break the other by one and the same action (or indeed inaction)."

The positive form is instructive.
I think that if you know what to do to others, then you would automatically know what not to do to others.

The negative form is prohibitive.
I think that if you know what not to do to others, you should automatically what to do to them.

If you agree then you see that either form is identical to the other in terms of instruction which is what I originally stated in my reply.

Eh, the "Dickheaded Liar" thing is no less rude by any means, if we are going to make rudeness important at all.

But with that, and in light of what OB said, too, I'd also remark that I do not think GIa is trolling.
However, given that he posted this also on an art sharing community , a drug harm reduction and self-help community (which, if I may be so opinionated, I find a rather distasteful choice of place to bring religion to), and a Total War gaming community independently and around the same time (though he has been a member of all three for years now, and mostly preaching much of the same, at least on DeviantArt), I am getting to doubt just how interested he is in discussing this as opposed to just spreading his message.

I do think Greatest-I-am/Gnostic Bishop is at least representing his genuine position, even if I wouldn't dare assume that he sincerely seeks to think about it or anyone else's, here or elsewhere.
