Just remember to ask also at the beginning: "Is there any possibility that I can change your mind, using my reasoning, evidence or proof?". If they say "No, I'll always believe in god no matter what", then why bother? Great one.

It's quite versatile. Just play dumb whenever someone mentions something that you don't understand (faith) and go from there. Thanks for the feedback guys, I hope I've removed a lot of frustration from your futures. You can use it in the middle of any arguments you’re having right now, as well. It’s quite versatile.

Like Chappy, I may have to start using it. “Will you be putting forth, as a statement of truth, that faith is greater than reason?”

]]> Comment on Is objective morality even possible if it is God’s will? by trendyhipster http://trendyhipster.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/is-objective-morality-even-possible-if-it-is-gods-will/#comment-399 trendyhipster Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:53:35 +0000 http://trendyhipster.wordpress.com/?p=18#comment-399 "Morality is not subjective if you know all that can be known". This suggests that there is something outside of God to know. It boils down to this: Did God create the rules of morality, or did God look to something outside of preference for morality? “Morality is not subjective if you know all that can be known”. This suggests that there is something outside of God to know.

If you are limited in knowledge and not influenced by others then your morality is subjective. God knows all things. …who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor? Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him? Children are always subject to their parents even if the parents are evil, however, that does not mean that you are always correct in what you require of your children because you are not all knowing. Perhaps I am not able to fully follow your thought and I may not be addressing your point at all. For this I apologize. Morality is not subjective if you know all that can be known.
