That the Greeks got along fine on coming up with morality and ethics without your god.



This is a complete switch of tangent. First we're talking about which philosophy came first, and then you start getting into the specifics of the philosophy itself. You're really getting desparate huh?

In any event, as was divulged earlier, Plato and Socrate's ethical ideals were indeed very successful. Something else to note, however, is that their ethical philosophy was alike to the Judea philosophy--Just short of the concept of morality. Meaning their rules carried the same principles.

And as far as God goes: Both Plato and Socrates, again, were mono-theists just as Judea was. They found logic ground in the idea that their was a God, just as the Jewish were asserting at that time--And even before then.

3 pages ago was like 3 months ago. I'm not so into this argument that I'm going to reread every little bit of it from the past.



3 months ago? Way to sling the hyperbole.

you come off as a surly teenager who found a philosophy book and misinterpreted everything but still quote it to look smart.



Misinterpreted everything? Is this some sort of implication that you have the correct interpretation?

The Klan is a fringe religious organization, and you know it.



No. They're not. Not all Klansmen are Christian and Christianity was never the root of its foundation.

Quote:

They are as much a representation of Christianity as Islamic terrorists are a representation of Islam as a whole.



Again: The KKK was not founded based on Christianity, and, moreover, there is nothing within Christianity that would allude to such actions. Klansmen aren't Klansmen because they're Christian. They're Klansmen because they hate black people. Muslim terrorists, however, do what they do in the name of Islam. That's a very clear foundation right there. And what's more, their doctrine also calls for such actions. Christian extremists do not truly represent their religion in their actions, whereas Muslims do.

Quote:

Thou shalt not kill doesn't cover executions but does cover abortions?
People still interpret it their own way.



Even though it is my personal belief that it does cover abortions, where did I actually say that it did? I said that the terrorists who kill abortion doctors are going against the very philosophy they claim to represent.

As for "not covering executions"; that depends on the scenario and whether or not the execution was based on just conglomeration and representation of empirical evidence.

Please stop refering to governments as "objectivist": you're misusing the term. Try realist instead, so that you'll appear to understand the material.



No. I'm not.
