“Fixed point of reference”Actually, I knew that, but it's to the point
to have it stated.
What definition for " fixed" do you intend,
when you speak of fixed morality from the
Bible?
It's way worse than silly for you to maintain youIt’s your fault for claiming that I used the word incorrectly. But now this discussion has become quite silly.
And what happens when your "fixed" point of reference is later proven wrong? Do you stick with it because you've decided a fixed point of reference is more important than the truth? Or do you change in light of new information.A fixed point isn’t necessary in order to say something is wrong. That’s correct. And if you go back to my first posts, you’ll see that I’ve not said anything different. A fixed point of reference I’d necessary, however, to say why something is wrong. To be wrong or right, you need something to compare it to. Otherwise, it’s just a feeling.
That is not a definition, that's an example of“Fixed point of reference”
No; I've mistaken you for the guy who claimed there was a universal moral standard accepted by everyone and I assumed you would be willing to back up that claim.Why would I do that? ................I think you've mistaken me for a more fundamentalist version of my fellow Christians.
How about fixed interpretations?And what happens when your "fixed" point of reference is later proven wrong? Do you stick with it because you've decided a fixed point of reference is more important than the truth? Or do you change in light of new information.
What's the use of having it fixed, if it is written in such a vague way that it can be interoperated differently by different people who have different agendas?How about fixed interpretations?
I liked what a Jesuit priest said toWhat's the use of having it fixed, if it is written in such a vague way that it can be interoperated differently by different people who have different agendas?

“Thanks for at least being the first to admit (to acknowledge; confess: ) that you have no basis for right and wrong. I’d say it was good, but it’s meaningless in your worldview.”It's way worse than silly for you to maintain you
are right when you are wrong.
It kills credibility, among other thungs
Show me a dictionary ( cut n paste
will do) that defines " admit" as you claim.
Do it and I will exile myself for a week.
If you can't, then admit you were wrong.
I guess if that happens, we are left with your worldview that can change at any time. I don’t have that problem.And what happens when your "fixed" point of reference is later proven wrong?

Seriously? After you claimed you /“Thanks for at least being the first to admit (to acknowledge; confess: ) that you have no basis for right and wrong. I’d say it was good, but it’s meaningless in your worldview.”
See you in a week.
See, it's all about "fixed".If that was the case, there wouldn't have been witch burning or bans against interracial marriage in the first place.
Yes, the interpretation might change. Are you familiar with the illustration of six blind men trying to describe an elephant?And yet the interpretation changes, which is why you used to do both.
Wrong.If that was the case, there wouldn't have been witch burning or bans against interracial marriage in the first place.
Right. The definition I gave a few days ago is right in the definition I copy/pasted, as you requested.Seriously? After you claimed you /
it meant "acknowledge"?
Never mind, I will leave it to judge Judy
to get on your case if you try something
like that on her.
The opposite of 'fixed".Yes, the interpretation might change. Are you familiar with the illustration of six blind men trying to describe an elephant?
