Wait. You'll probably now go 10 pages without responding to this request for clarification.

So. Regardless of what ...[text shortened]... pute or conflict ~ to be morally justifiable? No, I wouldn't.

What about you? Same questions.

So if an army were to totally wipe out a terrorist organisation, on what basis would you view their actions to be immoral?

You know my stance on the Bible. Do you not know what the Bible says on the issue?

Speaking as a Christian, do you believe that the assertion "homosexuality is immoral" is one of these "universal truths" you talk about?

Good to hear. You need to go back 30+ pages and respond to dozens of my posts.

I believe the Bible says God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

Is the idea "homosexuality is immoral" one of the "universal truths" you have been talking about on this thread?

If someone invades a home you believe it is morally justifiable for the homeowner to kill the person posing a threat to their life. Yet it seems you believe it is immoral to wipe out a terrorist organisation that also poses a threat everyone alive. I would like to know why the first scenario is justified but not the second?

I don't have any any moral objection, per se, to military action against a terrorist organisation.

What is your objection to the military action in the old testament?

Your notion that your opinions about moral matters are "universal truths". I am asking you specifically about homosexuality.

Give me a scenario.

I don't think so. I know you think it can. I know you have described my condemnation of rape as being "incoherent" and that "it doesn't matter" if I condemn rape, and that it doesn't "make logical sense" if I condemn rape. I don't think it will change and you have declined to create a scenario in which it could or would. The wrongness of rape is something I feel ...[text shortened]... f moral objection - or the impression I give others - by calling my opinion a "universal truth".

Would you say the statement 'rape is wrong' is a moral truth? If so how is this 'truth' different to a universal truth?

Do you think that my opinions about what the Bible says about homosexuality are different from what the Bible actually says? In other words, if I were to believe that homosexuality is wrong because I think the Bible says so, would you agree that the Bible does in fact say so or do you disagree?

I have already addressed this issue repeatedly.
