I would like to hear the logical demonstrations of why mass-murderer and “do what feels good” moral systems are invalid. Thanks.
I’d say that’s not too hard.
My 2Q system for testing whether a philosophy is valid says to ask, “Would I condemn another for reasoning as I do.” If I reason that mass murder is okay, [...]
I just wondered if there is any update on the status of your 2Q book regarding whether you will decided to have it published.
And secondly I noticed on your site that you have some Amazon ads that link to various books. I just wondered if you have any recommendations for good books that examine [...]
I’ll do my best to respond in a logical and somewhat ordered way so that other readers can follow. Hope it makes sense:
Let’s start with the Question of Origin:
To quote you:
“I say that God does not exist “so far as I can tell” because to the limit of my experience and knowledge I see no [...]
Sorry for the long delay…been quite busy. Hope your had a nice Thanksgiving.
Let me simplify if I may even more, and maybe begin to wrap this up.
I believe that we are getting to a point where we will soon be debating in circles.
If I may, it seems to me that your efforts are in attempting [...]

Before I proceed, I would like to relay the point that in no way do I intend to come across as condescending when I portray explanations regarding specific biblical passages. I get the feeling that some of my comments were being interpreted that way, and that was most likely due [...]
Let me start with the second half of our conversation, that being the conversation on Morals:

Let me first clarify what I mean by “Objective Moral Values:”
Values which are right or wrong, whether or not anybody believes in them.
For example:
If Nazi Germany had been successful and won WWII, [...]

In response to the first round of comments on 2Q, I’ve updated the pre-publication copy. For those of you who have already ordered it, don’t worry — the changes are largely cosmetic at this point. They did increase the page count, however, so the price has gone up to $8.26 (still just slightly above the [...]
I have just finished reading your pre-copy of your 2Q book and I have a comment of some significance. I have to disagrew ith your idea that people would all agree that their philosophies should not contradict themselves. Religious people do this all the time! Atheists will agree with you, but theists will not and [...]
It would be easier to help you with comments on 2Q if it was possible to download the text.
I agree. My problem is that a couple of publishers have told me that they would not be interested in considering the manuscript if it had been made available previously as a download. I’m still investigating my [...]
