I feel compelled to point out that Zarathustra's name is supposed to mean "one who owns old camels".

Who's counting the wrongs you commit? When you start behaving in a right manner, your life is transformed. Your past wrongs become irrelevant. You can just let them go.

It just doesn't work that way in reality.

Oh, I'm sorry...I must have missed the thread where you conclusively demonstrated that our morality is divinely implanted. Until I find it, I'll just have to assume that you have no way of knowing whether Manson and Hitler didn't have some vestiges of morality, however heinous their crimes.

"Dumbing it down" for me? ROTFL. Have you forgotten the high school math lesson you received from me not too long ago?

No, Mr. High-and-Mighty, it was great. Helped me pass my mid-term with a D+. Thanks!

My point is that it will [b]not prevent you from doing these things - you can still do them if you choose to.[/b]

uh, sure. Nor will a belief in a Great Big Spirit in the Sky prevent you from embezzling funds, drinking whisky to celebrate and then going out and having pre-marital sex....if you choose. So?

What's your rationale for being moral?

It makes me feel good. It helps create solid relationships with other people. Are you telling me if you weren't being threatened with eternal damnation, you'd be out snorting lines of coke off the ass-cracks of adolescent prostitutes?

Don't you find that to lead to unacceptable losses of coke?

It's the first sign that a coke-head is losing his marbles.

And that's a piss-poor place to be looking for them, too.

Would you all please leave. I'm feeling miserable today, and prefer that you go kidnap some else's thread, thank you. 😠

Let this one just drop into blessed oblivion if you have nothing to comment on Zarathustra. 😞

Sorry, stock...it's a worthy thread. Don't let it die, I'll even let Hammy have the last ad hominem I know is on the way...

(OK, since you asked nicely...)

There's a difference between a jibe, a straight insult and an ad hominem. Look them up.
