All in the name of Tolerance.

Even more, all in the name of Science.

You speak of truth and for truth, yet the people you are speaking against have re-defined truth to mean "a repeatable physical experiment." Anything else, they will argue, is subjective. Keep in mind that most have said that love is simply an electro-chemical reaction in the brain and, therefore, real. If it weren't an electro-chemical reaction in the brain they would not declare it real.

So, the fact that a certain moral standard has withstood the test of time, always working to uphold the rights of society and its memebers without fail will not make that moral standard "true" to the likes of them. In addition, the fact that every other moral standard has failed to uphold the rights of society and its members does not prove that moral standard as "true" to them.

Since they have so narrowly defined "truth", they deny your right to argue that a particular moral standard is true, and therefore worthy of support, encouragement, or enforcement on the part of society.

What we need to do is ignore them and stand on what we know. Most people won't accept this narrow definition of truth. They know which moral values are right and which are wrong. People like you and me just need to give them permission to give voice to what they know - no matter how loudly the adherants of Scientism try to shout us down.

Shalom.

Uhhh, without the electro-chemical reaction, there would be no "love", and thus the reality of something not experienced would be impossible to debate.

With that, I completely agree!

I stand with you on this, ArGee. I couldn't agree more, and will act accordingly.
