Six Iranians arrested for dancing to promote islam

let me know when you are done with the distractions and ready to show us how Natural Law is inconsistent with a Creator.

Lol, the distraction was yours.

I think we can find common ground here, though:

Natural law, which we say exists, is not inconsistent with a creator(s) which we say exist(s). Why? Because we say so!

It was for me.

It was for STUpid, too, until he made this blunder that he's been trying to troll his way out of.

Unfortunately for you, the term "their Creator" is not a passport for you or anyone else to arbitrarily insert the word God for everyone. Had founders intended to mean God they would have surely used the word God. They do not use the word God either in the Declaration or Constitution.

Nothing quite like thinking for yourself is there.

It was for you, about God.

but personally I do my best to stay out of the religious topics

So just a matter of cut and run as far as you were concerned ?

What do you mean, cut and run? I'm still here. But our conversation (yours and mine) has gotten absolutely nowhere, and is unlikely to do so going forward.

Thinking for yourself allows you to be the troll you are.

Nothing like arguing with dictionaries and scholars while crossing your fingers behind your back.

What a closed minded ignorant world you must be living in.
Not accepting everything on face value, reasonably questioning dictionaries and scholars is why dictionaries change and scholars and everyone else becomes better informed. Quite unlike yourself, remaining the gigantic troll you are as evidenced in this thread and so many others.

Gotten nowhere because you've cut and run. You finished by saying for you it was about God, although I'd asked you to consider the wider and essential basic philosophy behind the issue.

But you are right in that respect. Not discussing an issue is unlikely to move it anywhere. Which is I suspect the best outcome a religious approach can hope for.

I know what you asked me to consider, and frankly it doesn't interest me. Actually, little of what you discuss around here interests me, which is why I've rarely engaged you before.

You can tell yourself it's a cut and run approach if it makes you feel better. Lots of folks tell themselves things that make them feel better. But from my perspective, you just aren't all that interesting. That's really all there is to it.

Enjoy your day.
