Do feelings count?

Thanks, robin. Do you have anything to contribute to the topic?

Well, I remember in another thread you made the comment: You seem to be implying here that if God existed then there would be an objective standard of morality. I bumped this thread in case you wanted to elaborate on that.

An ad hominen would be if I were to use points of your character and claimed that refuted your argument when your character is, generally, irrelevant to the logic of an argument. So in actuality I never committed an ad hominen.

No, I did not, but if it makes you feel better I will clarify what I said.The fact that you act like a 12 year old has not bearing on the validity of your arguments. Your arguments will stand or fail on the soundness of the logic you use.

If I hurt your feelings, then I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. All I tried to do in that post was express my fustration at the previous post you had written.

Ha ha. I was thinking exactly the same thing!
