You have claimed just the opposite - that they do decide their own morals - that's your problem.

So you aren't going to put up the contradiction like a man are you? You are just going to ignore your insulting claim, now that you've noticed your full of it.

On that basis, you can't argue against the morals of the Christian community - you can only say you do not "prefer" them, and I don't care about YOUR moral preferences. What else is there to discuss?

The fact that my preferences, unlike yours, can be due to a reasoned analysis of available evidence regarding the likelihood of valuable results from a choosing a given set of moral prefererences.

Morals are either preferences or they are not - you have said they clearly are (need I repost for you?). Your community reasons your way, we reason our way - in the absence of absolutes, any "objective claim" you make regarding morals is contradictory. Period. You are busted - why don't you just quit? I don't care about your preferences - get it? I have my own.

I don't know what you're talking about. I have stated at least 10 times what you have also stated at least 10 times - assuming your position that each community decides its own moral preferences, you can't make any objective claims about the morals of any other community outside your own. That is the basis for your logical downfall. What are you trying to pull? You lost the debate - why do you extend your agony?

[yawn] - and why should I care how you formed YOUR preferences?
