What do you say to anti-theists on the formation of the universe?

[2PhiloVoid]

I'm not leaving myself open to the charge of calling anyone out. If you have been following the last couple of dozen posts then the matter should be crystal clear. If you haven't, then I strongly suggest that you do.

I strongly suggest that I avoid doing so.

... why does it differ from how I take my coffee?

Have a cup on me, my friend → (~)?

Then maybe it would be a good idea not to pontificate on a matter that you haven't been following.

Always an oddity when a moral relativist views themselves as having the moral highground.

Do you mean your saber rattling you're doing with Fervent?

Ye gods, man. If you have a point to make on anything that has been discussed in this thread then bring it to the table and stop wasting my time.

I'm sure you don't want to hear what I have to say, and I don't have the extensive time to deal with your lack of interest.

Then please feel free not to post anything at all in regard to any matter about which you think I'd have no interest. If only some other forum members had the same consideration...

So Bible story not actually believed in.. Response given.

War stories told by vets.. Response avoided.

Behavior speaks volumes.

The deduction is simple.

Double standards don't sparkle and shimmer very much.

No one in this thread is going to step in between the rock and hard place?

Grenade carrying children not a hot topic or something?

I'll hold my breath if it helps... (Just don't count)

Oh, please! Spare me your virtue signalling, especially the kind that has no restrictions on dismissing out of hand the guard rails that exist.

The thing is, Christian history is full of examples of the worst kinds of horror where the guard rails ceased to exist, all due to the perceived Divine calling of God. I think it's a valid point. One wonders sometimes if some elements of today churches are loosening those guard rails somewhat.

And is the secular world leading the way by showing they have no guard rails at all? How many women and children have died in wars and the governments are aware and still launching rockets, mortars, drones?

I've lost count of the number of supermarket grocery stores I seen in reports blown to bits and civilians and children dead in Ukraine.. not to mention all the other conflicts going on, that one simply gets a lot of attention.

Why aren't these civilized, moral people showing us how it's done? Diplomacy seems too hard now and intellectualism takes a backseat to violence on people that aren't even enlisted in the military.

I don't claim to know the statistics or details, but I'm nearly certain (note the nearly) that children have, and are, dying due to the wars going on from military attacks directly.

I really don't think anyone is going to dispute that fact, it's prolific. These things horrify me, but I hear a lot of people saying things (especially in "comment sections") like "they deserved it," "just an accident," "they took their land," and wow have I ever found hatred between the two nations themselves, such as Ukraine and Russia.... I can't even repeat the things they call each other.

Claiming that, "the world," or "humanity," has any moral high ground seems a bit difficult to say the least.
