Morality Decreasing With Time?

scottness That is a conjecture not a definition. You assert that God is unchanging but you can in no way demonstrate that a God exists much less that he is absolute

scottness That only demonstrates your willingness to do lay down your life not his existence. Cult members do it all the time. There you go telling me what I think. I am not the one making the claims concerning God and absolutes, you are. The onus is on you to present the argument to convince me and you have yet to do so because your logic does not yet stand up to questioning. You do not make something valid by declaration alone sir. Flavouring your speech with biblical reference and posturing is as equally meaningless. Defend your assertion with valid reasoning and not drivel pertinent only to your own narrow view of the world,otherwise you cannot hope to convince other of its validity. You are not offering me any kind of conviction here because it appears to me that you made the decisions when emotionally unsettled {I cryed out to him} which is the worst possible time to be able to rationally determine the validity of an experience. You know only what it appears { and would therefore lean your bias to expectation heavily towards achieving} you desperately wanted and not necessarily what was actually occurring.
Yet again this is not a convincing arguement in your favour. Can you offer something independent of your emotional instability sir? I have no idea of Freuds position on this and it is also irrelevant.
Of course you cannot argue someone else's experience of an event but neither can that person use it as a premise to an arguement since we who must listen cannot judge for ourselves its validity nor logic.
Again you are left with your own subjective world and cannot bring to bear anything of value.

scotness So you say.What makes you think I am unfeeling? By what measure do you determine the extent of a man's heart sir? You claim that god works on it yet here I am unworked by this God and yet having no problems with it nor having a great deal of angst concerning it. I can only assume by your descriptions that the likelihood is that you are deluded in your assesment of your experience. I could be wrong but have no way of determining this. Oh contraire sir. I dearly loved my mom right up till she passed away. She was a gentle loving woman who gave me great gifts of compassion and tolerance.I do indeed think with my mind. How is that a disadvantage? If my mind can clearly see that an emotional condition is clouding its judgement in matters such as you bring to the floor how is that to my detriment/ If God indeed exists then how can mere questioning of the validity of an experience be capable of destroying that validity. I would expect a event that God participated in to be strengthened by the questioning of it not weakened or abolished. Did you actually think before you wrote that? Convincing someone requires that they be cognizant of deception {both in themselves and others} as well as being able to question their assumptions in full and complete freedom in order that the experience should be considered valid.It is not a matter of shunning the existence of a God it is the demanding of evidence for such an existence.Why should God hide away?
Why should evidence of a entity such as God amount to nothing at all?
Why should reasoning be absent in the determination of God if that very God is responsible for our ability to question in the first place? This makes no sense at all IMHO.

scotness You evade again the issue altogether scotness. I am not after proof as you use in this strawman example of yours. I only require evidence which I can examine for myself. Since mothers tend to be a common experience for people and feelings that we call love are as well then these are the things I would set as examples of evidence. Proofs are for mathematics.Also in your example you are a priori asserting the conclusion that my mother does not exist and have set your beliefs to filter out the possibility despite the evidence to the contrary.
I, on the other hand, am quite willing to examine the evidence you would give as support for your assertion of a God. The difficulty for you lies not in my unwillingness to deal with the evidence but on the poor quality of the evidence you bring to the discussion. You again avoid dealing with the issues by setting up a situation totally out of line with my requirements for your assertions. Please lose the rigid attitude that is clouding your ability to debate honestly and with respect sir. Failing this please excuse yourself from the discussion.
Logical arguments are not incapable of giving evidence for the quality of emotion we deem love sir. Again you are playing the whiny oppressed christian card and expecting that this is somehow a debate tactic rather than a childish ploy to hand wave away the difficulty that You must deal with in your assertions. Grow up and participate instead of throwing mild temper tantrums in the vain hope that people will somehow think you have a valid issue.
