    Monkeys talking about God or morality confuses the order of things.

If you insist on being involved, stop being caught unprepared for these discussions and holding a grudge after you inevitably lose. That said, I suspect that you're overcompensating for your former fundamentalist self. I don't take it personally. You're kind of a sad spectacle.

    No, it can come from you but it hasn't and it doesn't appear that it ever will. I'd ask you to support your latest claim but I know you won't. Anyway, I see that you avoided the point of my reply. That was probably a good idea because, as usual, when you can't respond to the challenges of religious people you resort to demeaning and insulting them. Let me know when you can account for objective morality.
    All of the statements bolded, above, are lies - so we're done. Let me know when you can engage in a grownup discussion without posting in bad faith and lying.

    You're attacking me again, Wolf. All of what I said is true but all I'm interested is how you account for objective morality. The short and long of it is that you can't. Have a good day.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I think I understand your position. It is perfectly acceptable to lie to all the people as some good may come from it.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    You're not just lying to "the people". You're lying to yourself. Just the other day you were condemning the "forces of evil". What could that even mean? You think they're evil and I'm sure the feeling is mutual. Who is right? No one of course. It's all subjective.
