Understood. But I'm sure you realize that there will be opposition to what you pronounce as truth, since your faith is tantamount to belief for everyone else.
I would hope they believe it is more than that. If they are equivalent then neither is right and then we get into the issues of "moral relativity" and the whole problem becomes who dictates right and wrong which the only real answer is, the majority. That type of system gives me the shudders. *chuckle*
I was an EXCEPTIONALLY bright and mature 12 year old who had sex with a 40 year old over a number of years. I came back 20 later and put that motherf***er in prison.

I think the mind is far to complex for anyone to understand it,
Ever?

Why do you think that everything in life is result of cognitive experience?
Because I don't subscribe to "everyones version of truth". All other truths are nothing more than rationalizations of man to serve his will. If I were to accept that all other truths are valid, then I would deny my own truth.
There is a big difference between truth and opinion. You are speaking about the latter. It doesn't help that you keep referring to it as the former.

My point is, that while I do believe other truths are wrong,
If something it true, how can it be wrong?
Quote:
I do not attempt to hide behind logic that attempts stand for all truths valid while trying to proclaim another superior. I know my truth to be valid and all others wrong. You can be sure that when we discuss something, my truth will be consistent to the Bible while that will not be a case with individual truths as they will change from person to person.
Again, you are speaking about your opinion, belief, conviction, etc., but not about truth. Truth is not subjective, however what you are talking about is entirely subjective until proven to be factual.
But this guy says he was born with it. Therefore it MUST be tolerated, accepted, and embraced. More cannibals should be characters in movies and TV shows, and cannibalism should be taught to children in elementary school as an "alternative diet" to make it acceptable in our society, even though its not and goes against the moral values of our people.
Mutually agreed upon cannibalism? Weird, but fine (imo). There was that case in Germany a few years back where a cannibal sought out someone to cannibalize and a guy with a "being cannibalized" fantasy volunteered. The cannibal ate him. While I do think it's weird, these were two adults doing something mutually consensual. I'm not sure on what grounds I'd be able to find an issue with it as there is no victim.
These were two demons. They should have both ate each other and it would have been two less demons we have walking the Earth. Well, at least it is one less demon now.

Ok, this is what you wanted me to respond to? I see why I didn't, its irrelevant and has nothing to do with my post. In fact, It is a logical fallacy as you attempt to attack me personal with your suggestion and attempt to generalize a system of belief by the actions of an individual. Seriously, what does this possibly have to do with anything? Or are you just so angry you feel the need to attack with this garbage?

Ok, define a moral truth to me then. Explain to me via the scientific process how your moral truth is valid, and mine is not. You can't? Then why do you keep proclaiming me wrong while insisting you are right? Could it be that you to also believe that your position is valid and it is based entirely on an issue that can not be measured or quantified?
"I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout."
