How would you define the phrase?Belinda wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 12:51 pmI see, thanks. So cherry picking is when someone picks only what supports his bias.Sculptor wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 11:45 amWhat is wrong with cherry picking?Belinda wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 10:26 am
What is wrong with cherry picking? The present pope has some good about him and some not good. It's my work to decide for myself which behaviour is good and which not good.
Moral principles are the criteria of good and not good. Is applying moral principles the same as cherry picking?
You seem to have missed the point of the argument.
Answer this: does cherry picking find "tenets"??
When someone cherry picks all the negative things about homosexuality - are they then the tenets of Xianity ?

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
Sculptor me ol' chum. Where did Christ tell blokes not to fall in love, indeed, have sexual relations with each other?
btw. You have upset me with Matthew quotes which is my favourite gospel - only read each night when I was under the duress of this God entity around 1998...I decided, well, about time I actually read some of this stuff. I will research what you posted - electronic searches of my electronic buy bull can come in very handy - especially when dealing with evangelists, and all their preconceived ideas.

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
I draw no conclusion: it's not my book or religion. I mentioned it only in response to your question. Jesus didn't seem to forbid sex (though he seemed to frown on it).attofishpi wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 2:59 pm..so you drew what conclusion? - rather than wank off each night he should.........marry....a bloke or a woman?henry quirk wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 2:57 pmAs I recall, he said if a man can't be celibate, he should marry.attofishpi wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 2:53 pm

Well. If that's the case Y does God come across as bisexual when I am on the right path, in heaven and he is doing me every which way.henry quirk wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 3:05 pmI draw no conclusion: it's not my book or religion.

If you want a response you will have to learn how to answer the questions of your interlocutor.attofishpi wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 2:53 pmSculptor me ol' chum. Where did Christ tell blokes not to fall in love, indeed, have sexual relations with each other?

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
It will have to wait - I finally fixed my PC interface to my VR headset today - I won every stage of the Poland WRC!! Amazing what I can achieve without drink driving. It is so realistic..in VR with da Thrustmaster force feedback steering wheel and of course, peddles.Sculptor wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 4:13 pmIf you want a response you will have to learn how to answer the questions of your interlocutor.attofishpi wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 2:53 pmSculptor me ol' chum.

I genuinely did not know. The phrase never interested me enough for me to find out.
