Bored now. You still haven't moved past unsupported opinion. Put up or shut up.

You must be new. If you actually think you made a cogent point, well, you're the one who made it, so it's still on you to prove it. You haven't shown one shred of evidence for anything.

You can't refute a point that hasn't been made. See, here's how evidentiary debates work: You make an assertion. Then you actually back it up with something. Then there's actually something of substance to discuss and other people can start challenging it or making their own assertions. So far you still haven't graduated from "things I expect to hear from hobos after midnight", but ...

More like time for you to stop waving your hands for dramatic effect and actually finish your thought with something akin to a factual (or at least intelligible) grounding. Nobody's going to go chasing something you can't even articulate, nor should they.

Perhaps I over-inferred. That's a thread in itself. I'd actually start with a couple of verses from Leviticus 19 and work from there since those are some of the clearest underlying definitions. (And then I'd spend another week pulling references out of every other text.)

You still don't have it straight. There's nothing in the text, for example, that suggests that it's their passions. That's kind of my point. Claiming that your interpretation is the One True Interpretation (tm) is a quick path to Fallacy Town. Meaningless statement. Was that supposed to make any sense? Hey, you're the one claiming that people have cause to be scared for the mere p ...

Well, I know what one of those is in reference to, so I'll respond to that. I hate LD. Vapid has been the perfect word for it since it got booted from ED.

Yahtzee? Actually, I'm just demonstrating that what you're assuming to be the only possible path of reasoning is not, in fact, the only possible path of reasoning. What's happening right now is you're trying to defend an assumption, and I'm laughing derisively as I ask for evidence to support this. Doesn't seem scary to me. Love YHWH, check. Love thy neighbor, check. Kind of hard to * ...

Somehow, that isn't hard for me to imagine at all. Are we looking at the same text?

Sin, by definition, is a violation of divine law. Likes and dislikes and feelings and vapid conjecture belong in therapy sessions.

Bingo. He hasn't said so. That's usually a good start. Also assumptive. It still wouldn't make it a sin.

Which still doesn't change the premise that Alan thinks mushrooms on pizza are great. Of course Alan's being a d**k because he knows that Alan thinks it's a waste of a pizza. Welcome to Tautology 101.
