Lie. From your post 944: You can't rationally engage in praise and blame of people unless you have a standard that stands outside of everyone, including John Calvin, and including you, and me, that says for instance that we ought not punish the innocent and let the guilty go free.

The statement is modified by, ...unless you have a standard that stands outside of everyone...It is conditional. You do have a Standard outside yourself that you do not wish to acknowledge, and your capacity to make moral judgments is irrefutable evidence of it. I'm telling you the truth. You just think it is a lie.

Cordially,
