“It seems that when it comes to pets, the boundary between moral and immoral is in the neighborhood of $5,000. Good to know that.”
No beating around the bush, eh? You’re just going to get right down to the dishonest argumentation, and make no pretense of good faith.
“Judging people by what they spend on their pets vs on charity is an absolute, inescapable moral duty imposed on us by God.”
Reading this kind of dishonesty makes me want to go take a shower. You may think it clever, but any idiot can misrepresent an argument.
“Since all of us here on FR aspire to lead moral lives”
I see no sign of that on your part. You’re not even concerned enough with leading a moral life to argue honestly on an Internet discussion forum.
By the way, you should change your screen name. Honesty is an indispensable component of conservatism.
Proof that you are a sanctimonious, pompous, pretentious, pitiful, disingenuous, manipulating, inconsistent twit.
Look back in this thread. These are your statements.
Anytime someone points out your errors and inconsistencies you accuse them of dishonest argumentation, which is precisely what you yourself are guilty of.
It's time you leave decent people on this site alone and don't bother them with your dishonest garbage again.
You should be ashamed. And you won't be, which is why you should be doubly ashamed.
