47. I'm not going to engage in a line item debate.
Edited on Sun Mar-22-09 09:48 PM by Why Syzygy
I will respond thusly. But, I will not be drawn into a freeper-ish method of "discussion".
Dissection has its place, but for this, I'm going to stick with concept, which represents synthesis.


The God we're talking about hasn't changed. You start with deflection.

I guess this depends on your definition of God. I was just referring to the one I am most familiar with.

The Sun is perfectly just. We agree on that point.

That would mean that nothing exists greater than man.

The Sun? The planet Earth is pretty great in my view.

Name anyone in history. I've already posted my definition of justice. If you're not going to consider the ideas I've already presented, quit wasting my time.

And while, as referenced in an earlier post, man appears to be hard wired to seek fairness/justice, there is no just among us.

How do you know there are no just among us? What sort of criteria do you use to measure whether some is just?


Breeding is hardly the only requirement for survival. If you care to use grown up discussion, count me in. I won't play the freeper game.

What a cruel fate of biology! To hard wire us for a survival desire which has no hope of ever being fulfilled is counter productive to all conditions of evolution!

How has our desire for justice and our failure to attain justice interfered with our ability to breed?

******

See if you can dispute this. No one can take any action no matter what it is, without *justifying* that action.
