If the shoe fits...

Do you try and come off as an ass intentionally?

Not really. God is.... whether we can prove it or not.

To an atheist, it's just an opinion, not a fact. In which case, according to the relativist, the atheist is equally correct.

God has his own reasons for denying all of us certainty with regard to His existence and nature. Those with faith ought not to feel superior.

Society seems better without homosexuality.

Since people have differing views, the opposite must be true as well.

Those wouldn't be in the majority so if it turns out their point of view is closer to the truth it wouldn't matter anyway.

You're unclear on the concept. The point is, it doesn't matter what you or anyone else thinks if there's no universal truth.

I think the lack of clarity belongs to you. You have adopted the "either/or", position in the debate that so many dogmatists are fond of. The fact that we exist in the universe is evidence of some kind of universal truth. Its your strawman that assumes a position for others.

But I think we'd all die for certain principles.

But that's just dumb.

You should know.

Can I use a lifeline for this?

Who hijacked this thread again with their smug superiority? Seems to me it was the group insisting that dying for one's faith was stupid. If you want to start a thread on the wonders of "I'm right, you're right", we won't intrude.

Those wouldn't be in the majority so if it turns out their point of view is closer to the truth it wouldn't matter anyway. Ask Robert Smith of Maryland whether the 1% of homosexuals (and their agenda) in the United States have impacted his life.

Dogma is absolute, not negotiable.

The fact that we exist in the universe is evidence of some kind of universal truth.

You can't prove that we exist.
