You sound like you know the ropes. I hope it wasn't "painful knowledge"...

As I said...wild exaggerations everywhere. Don't believe anything until you see it with your own eyes...and you can't go wrong.

Truth be told...ReplayRandall and I are friends...and we occasionally tangle here just to keep our sarcasm sharp.

In the novel Huckleberry Finn the writer identifies himself as the eponymous Mr. Finn, however there is considerable evidence that Mr. Finn was not the author of the book and that Mr. Finn is a fictitious person.

What makes "objective truth" vague (for lack of a better word) is the coupling of the adjective "objective" with the noun "truth." If we are not discussing probability or fuzzy logic then a statement is either true or it is not. Why qualify it with the word "objective." I assume you have a purpose in adding the qualifier but I am unable to perceive what it is.

More's the pity. However, there is what Jefferson called "a decent respect for the opinions of mankind."

I hope we are able to become globalists before we manage to use nuclear weapons to exterminate our entire species.

All very true. More is the pity.

I cannot speak for all atheists, only for myself. If by "reason" you mean a purpose imposed by a deity there is none since there is no evidence that said deity exists.

The burden of proof rests upon the one making the claim. By definition the claim is that the null hypothesis is false, e.g., "time is not the same for all observers" -- Albert Einstein. The null hypothesis cannot be stated in the negative. To do so is the onus probandi fallacy, shifting the burden of proof.

The null hypothesis, avoiding negatives, is "German society's morality remained the same as other nations." The argument given is the Nazi atrocities. These were the acts of Nazi leaders and not German society.

The social contract is based on the interests of the species as a whole, i.e., humanity, and not the interests of a "self" or an individual.
