Natural Law, this is no trick question. Nor is it a false or incomplete premise. I am asking a simple question that would, if answered, at least establish some basis for discussion.
I am trying to find what we do and can agree on together. You seem to be acting like I am trying to lure you into a trap. I am not. If you find that you cannot answer or cannot trust the good faith of the one who asks - and has assured you of good faith - then I guess I know where this discussion is going ... nowhere. And if that is so, what is our purpose on the FR Religion forum? Argument for the sake of argument? I would hope not. That is not why I check in from time to time. If it is why you check in, OK, that is your privilege. And I will conduct myself accordingly.
Fair enough?
I'm not trying to be obtuse (some say it comes to me naturally) but I am having difficulty sifting through your syllogism to find an answerable question. To me it is like taking a true/false test with neither answer being right. Please restate your question and I will give answering it an honest try.
Peace be with you
