Alright, now I can go through and try to decipher this woo of yours.

Does the above knowledge claim mean you get your morality from corporate lizards?
Sure... you seem to be prone to believe in some pretty off the wall sh*t, so ya... go with that.

Are these absolute, universal truths?
The stuff about actions no being fundamentally moral or immoral?
Yes, that is true.
The part about the notion of God (capital G) didn't exist until we made him. Consider that on our first attempt, we attributed greatness to many gods (little g). The consolidation from polytheism to monotheism was a great stride in humanity, because it meant we got to spend less time praying!!!
Amen to that... oh, and that part was true too.

You're knowledge claims are based on your senses, memory & reason.
So how do you reconcile your senses, memory & reason with your fallibity?
wtf?!?!?...

(I'll help you)
Using your senses, memory & reason to validate your senses, memory & reason is known as circular reasoning.
Are you high on crack right now?
Dg west deptford wrote:
The claim that anyone is wrong without an absolute standard of truth?
Is that a statement or a question?
Dg west deptford wrote:
If truth is arbitrary than claims that refute your worldview could not be wrong
Yep... high on crack.

Your strawmen expose contradictions in your source of knowledge & refute you.
You're misusing the word strawman in this context. RayR gets it right... please don't copy RayR... he's a deflector, so he gets what he gets.

Your hypotheticals would make sense in other instances but we are talking about the necessary starting point to make sense of argumentation,
Yes... hypotheticals about the things we don't know... like what happened before the big bang?
Your answer... unequivocally, absolutely with universal certainty... God did it.
Personally, I like Roger Penrose's answer (ccc)... unfortunately it's hard as sh*t to explain to anyone. They just give you blank looks like you triggered a cluster bomb in their head. Admittedly, it's hard to explain because I don't fully understand all aspects of the theory... but I do understand it well enough that the reasoning behind it makes sense to me. Unfortunately... despite the wealth of information on it, I have my doubts that you would understand it with better teachers... for that you would have to have an open mind...
Another sample of what we don't know...
How to interpret the measurement problem of quantum mechanics... there are several interpretations... none of which includes the term "God did it".
Is space continuous or discrete?
Hmmm.... that's a tough one... I keep flip flopping on that one... but there's no room in your theology for flip flopping is there? There's no real room for free thought... quick, find a circle and say "God did it"... logic... see, it's a circle? Don't you get it? Truth!!!
Yes... I get it... circles are amazing, and if I believed in divinity, then a circle would certainly be worthy of being called divine... but I'm not, so I don't.

You don't know me very well do you?
Dg west deptford wrote:You could be wrong about everything you think you know
Yep!!! But I'm less likely to be wrong than you... that's the important part here.
