If by having a lot in common, you mean holding diametrically opposed positions, then sure.

I guess that means I could track you down and bash your head and then justify my actions by saying say my moral standards say such behavior is OK.

if you can convince the rest of society to overturn the laws outlawing murder beforehand? sure. otherwise you'd be breaking a law regardless of what you believe to be moral or immoral. great example though, troll.

Because I am obviously not the person or persons you all wish to believe that I am, and I have no interest in discussing global warming or any other scientific myth on this board.

If morality is a subjective concept, why do we have laws against murder?

Grudgingly, I have to respond to this. Assuming that God has established absolute moral standards, how are we to determine what they are?

If, as is the case, all we have to go on are books written by men about God, then surely it's safer to assume that their assumptions about God's moral standards are just that: human conjecture, and therefore fallible.

To apply infallibility to a human idea is not only foolish, it's dangerous. We all have an incomplete idea of what God's moral standards are.

I find it extremely insulting to God that we assume we would even be able to wrap our puny minds around his omnipotent reasoning.

I brought a lawsuit against that hospital using his reasoning, and when the judge tried to laugh me out of court, I walloped him but good. And it was a real hum-dinger, when he woke up his clothes were out of style. And who was laughing then? I was. All the way to the bank. Now, stick that in your pipe and smoke it. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

It has been my experience that when the accusation of troll is tossed around so freely on a message board it is because the mutual admiration society, whose members populate the board, have been discombobulated by irrefutable facts coupled with the sound reasoning that comes from a superior intellect.

You people cannot confront me on facts, reason or intellect so you resort to insults, whining and nuisance.
