I tend to stay out of moral discussions, specifically because they tend to get over-long and I get tired of explaining myself. I look at morality as a value judgement. Not really any different from abstract concepts of "beauty". You find something beautiful, I don't. Are you "wrong"? Of course not. Am I wrong? Nope.

The same goes for how we try to describe some action as "good" or "bad".

Hmmmmmmmmm, I guess the wisdom or truth was a little to much for Dave to handle. Trust me I understand why you didn't get it.


There was no wisdom, nor truth in the post I responded to.

The most adequate response to it was humour.

And who is this Christ you speak of?

Regardless, to return the gesture I prayed that his holiness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster (cheese be upon him) shall touch you with his noodly appendage and teach you true enlightenment. He has personally assured me you shall be touched by 2:57 in the afternoon, next Thursday. I recommend dressing as a pirate while receiving his blessing to give it extra meaning.
