What any of this has to do with moral relativism, I have no idea. (just kidding. I know that it's a common talking point to call someone a moral relativist when they believe in giving people greater freedoms). I don't think Ftk knows what moral relativism is.

And of course, FtK is not going to expound on her position, other than some stuff about "icky feelings".

Congratulations to FtK and Sal on managing to finally get a reasonably extended discussion of just how icky horse sex is. I'm just going to assume you enjoy it, due to the sheer willfulness with which you've pushed to center your position on ranting about sex with animals, incest, orgies, homosexuality, marriage and pedophilia.

Your logical connection with "Darwinism" is nonexistant, delusional, and already easily refuted. The rest of this is unrelated bad logic and appeal to emotion. By "emotion" I mean "fear, disgust and hate", which I guess some people are into. I won't touch that, and since you won't properly support any other argument - for instance, a scientific one - at all, that leaves nothing worth saying.

Have fun.

Er...after months of lurking and muttering exasperated remarks in the general direction of the screen, I really can't believe I'm going to make my first comment on this thread in defense of FTK, at least on one narrow point in particular:

My dictionary confirms my general understanding of 'condone' to mean "forgive or overlook" or "approve or sanction, usually reluctantly". Given Skatje's post and comments, and my interpretation thereof, I would suggest that FTK does not misuse the word.

That being said, considering the rest of FTK's 'arguments' on this and other matters, I'm going to go take a shower and pray that she doesn't now identify me as part of a rapidly dwindling subset of reasonable sorts with whom she'd deign to converse. The horror . . .

Edit (there, now I feel fully de-lurked): argy beat me to it. And while we could certainly debate the various connotations of the word, it is silly to hold up FTK's use of it as "quote-mining" in such a target-rich environment.

Maybe FtK is concerned about it because rural right-wingers enjoy sex with animals.

Point taken. A good example of why settling on the definitions is the first task in any formal debate.

My apologies, FtK. If that is how you defined "condone", then my definition is different. We were talking about two different things.

But the argument about the word "condones" revolved around your writings, not Sal's. His quote-mining and innuendo stand on their own, independent of any argument about your word usage or definitions. The usage of "forgive or overlook" won't absolve him; he implied active participation.

Condone - from Webster’s dictionary:  to forgive or overlook.

Quote
Not all cases of bestiality are this way though. Animals can approach humans for sexual reasons too. Ever owned a dog? They’ll come right up to you and start poking at your crotch. What if you don’t have pants on at the time? And what if you maybe enjoy a little complication-free oral sex? You go to jail for it? It’s not like you shoved your meat into their face and raped them. The animal isn’t hurt, so animal abuse doesn’t apply.

The second argument against zoophilia is that animals are unable to consent to have sex. That’s complete crap. Animals understand what sex is and they CAN communicate it. Not in words, of course, but in action.

Sexual relationships between humans and animals come as such a shock to people, but it doesn’t to me. There can be very deep, meaningful relationships between humans and their pets. Obviously they can’t obtain the same level a deep human-to-human relationship, but loving your pets isn’t anything unusual. People care for their pets, talk to them, spoil them, feel relaxed in their company, and mourn them when they die. This relationship is so underestimated. Why does it come as a surprise that when someone feels a deep connection to their pet, they might be interesting in doing something more expressive and intimate like we do in human-to-human relationships?


If that is not “condoning” zoophilia, then I don’t know what is.

[qu[ote]Finally, if your moral code justifies quote-mining and innuendo about a teenage girl having sex with a collared peccary, I think you have no credibility in discussing the moral codes of others. [/quote]

This is certainly not an example of quote mining, but then it doesn’t surprise me that you would think it is.  Darwinists cry “quote mine” at the drop of a hat.  The innuendo about a “young lady” (no mention of a “teenager girl“ - please keep your facts straight) bringing home a collared peccary to Mom and Dad has already been condemned by me.  The fact that you keep stating that I justify it is dishonest.

Oh, hell.  You guys are posting faster than I can respond to you.

I'm going to beg off a while and let everyone have there say before I try to respond to anyone further.  Right now, I'm thinking about 6 different questions that have been posed to me and my thoughts are becoming a tangled mess.

Later...

Does anyone here remember Neal Horsley's "Christian Gallery" website?

Actually, it's still up and it makes Fred Phelps' site look positively tame by comparison.

Years ago, he used to have a page up that advocated the use of nuclear weapons against major US cities - there was an infamous page of graphics that showed why the cities needed to be nuked.

I didn't try to "justify" a thing.  I'm saying that you're all extremely hypocritical.  AtBC members make comments that put Sal's to shame on a routine basis.  Nobody says a thing about their behavior.  Strange.

LOL! You know, part of me actually just had the brief urge to track Davey down. But much as I don't (usually) listen to other agenda-driven parts of me advocating re-establishing ties with long-lost exes, I'm going to ignore that part, too --  nothing good can come of it. Nevertheless, a man needs luvvin -- is it too late to choose the peccary?

Of course.

Personally I just wanted FTK to know what it felt like to say something, and then provide something else, in this case the specific part of the post in question that she felt most significantly encapsulated her point, as further proof and in support of her original argument.

Mostly. And I was interested in the specific part that would be picked.

Now, perhaps, the other pending "questions" can be dealt with in a similar matter?

I defended your use of 'condone' as proper, but if you expect the same for your use of 'justify', you're pissin' up the wrong tree, lady. I guess I'm a hypocrite that way.

Good work, Argy.

It's interesting that it took a lurker to point out Dave's innacurate accusation.  I can't imagine the rest of you all agreed with his definition. But then, god forbid we point that out since it was a "creationist" being accused of something that is inaccurate.

I'd extend to Incorygible my appreciation for him speaking up, but that would probably make him look bad, so I won't.

I read the linked article - not the comments. Reading the comments at DailyKos is right up there with self-trepination on my "things I like to do" list.

I've never been clear about whether or not the Nuremberg Files were posted at the Christian Gallery or not - and I've never had the stomach to search through that site to find out. And the link does nothing to clear that up.

Umm, just for the record, I think it was oldman who first brought up the apparent lack of the use of the word "condone" in Skatje's blog post.

And just for the record, my definition is as accepted as your definition, which makes it OK to agree with my definition. It's not a problem. It's certainly not as much of a problem as agreeing with Sal about something which is indefensible to all who are not wearing creationist blinders.

And finally, just for the record, I immediately apologized to you for the confusion, in case you didn't notice.

You're quite welcome, even if you can't bring yourself to type "Thanks".

Carry on.

Do you ever climb down off that cross? Never mind -- I've lurked on this thread long enough to know the answer (note that I've posted here before, hon). So I defend you on one narrow point of diction and now you're making hay, eh? No worries -- you have a lot of straw men to prop up. Have your little 'victories' been so few and far between? (Never mind -- I know the answer to that one, too, m'dear.)

Only you, FtK, could use my interjection on behalf of accuracy/consistency as an argument that you'll never find it among us hypocritical non-creationists. Only you could follow up a number of posts agreeing with my interjection with "I can't imagine the rest of you all agreed with his definition". Only you could mention Argy by name -- whose defense of your use of 'condone' preceded my own, as noted in the edit -- one little period before asserting that it "took a lurker" to point out. Only you could presume to know, on the basis of a few posts, when I would choose to speak up against the dread Darwinian gestapo. Only you would characterize this incident as "unfair" to creationists. Need any more nails, luv?

Winston Churchill on the battle against the Nazi Darwinists and Perverted Science

...There is a video which dramatizes the victory of Christian civilization against the Nazi Darwinists in the Battle of Brittain. You can get a copy of the The Battle of Britain starring Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer, and Trevor Howard from Amazon.

Winston Churchill describes his voracious reading during his early 20s:

"From November to May I read for four or five hours every day history and philosophy. Plato's Republic - it appeared he was for all practical purposes the same as Socrates; the Politics of Aristotle, edited by Dr. Welldon himself; Schopenhauer on Pessimism; Malthus on Population; Darwin's Origin of Species: all interspersed with other books of lesser standing."

It's interesting that it took a lurker to point out Dave's innacurate accusation.  I can't imagine the rest of you all agreed with his definition. But then, god forbid we point that out since it was a "creationist" being accused of something that is inaccurate.

Umm, just for the record, I think it was oldman who first brought up the apparent lack of the use of the word "condone" in Skatje's blog post.

And just for the record, my definition is as accepted as your definition, which makes it OK to agree with my definition. It's not a problem. It's certainly not as much of a problem as agreeing with Sal about something which is indefensible to all who are not wearing creationist blinders.

And finally, just for the record, I immediately apologized to you for the confusion, in case you didn't notice.

You're quite welcome, even if you can't bring yourself to type "Thanks".

Carry on.

I don't know what's not to agree with in regard to what Sal wrote.  Obviously Skatje finds it morally acceptable to have sex with animals as well as participating in incestuous relationships.  It's written in black and white.  No quote mining necessary.  I find it seriously odd that this is condsidered quote mining.

Well, obviously:
1.  Hitler was a Darwinist.
2.  Churchill fought Hitler.
3.  Therefore Churchill was a creationist.

I'm looking forward to part 2:
4.  Stalin was a Darwinist.
5.  Hitler fought Stalin.
6.  Therefore Hitler was a creationist.

And part 3:
7.  Stalin was a Darwinist.
8.  Churchill was a creationist.
9.  Stalin and Churchill were on the same side.
10.  Therefore Sal is suing his brain for non-support.

Ftk, fact is, you're lacking a LOT of knowledge the evolutional theory and Darwinism. Really, a lot, even some mucho importanté basics (like the morality thing). How can we properly discuss this with you then?
