The flaws of NT-based morality

[Charles]

Are you just dense or deluded Star? The only critique you could bring against scripture would find its foundation in your relative cultural mores. Which as a launching pad for moral condemnation is meaningless.

You seem to presuppose that scripture is something more than just relative to culture. If you read what Starlight actually points to instead of insisting that he must by definition be wrong, then you might actually start to see the point that scripture is relative to culture and the period in which it was written to a very high degree and thus is a poor guide for us today. One can simply point to the fact that it does not answer the moral questions that are relevant to us today. But I guess you will hardly allow for us to have an opinion about that either....

Just stay in the car, Chuck.

So you have got no answer?

It would hardly be appropriate for scripture to address matters wholly irrelevant to the time and circumstances then in play. But which moral questions does it not address, at least to the point of allowing an adaptation of those that it does address? Keeping in mind of course that moral issues are only peripheral to its intent.

So you are giving up the idea of objective morality Charles?

In the car. Stay.

Can you name one such skeptic, and identify the publication in which the argument appears?

I'm referring to informal conversations and debates I've had and various skeptical articles I've read over the past couple of decades. I've not done a formal survey or anything like that.

I don't see a car. I see a rather simple question that you left unanswered... Talking like that does nothing to help you.

Nope. And that does not follow. But once again you are using a cheap trick in order to avoid the points. It's becoming way too obvious, seer.

Sparko, it is not worthy of you to behave like that and you know it. Why don't you just answer the question?

Can you point us to any of those articles so we can see someone making the argument?

[Charles]

Sparko, I don't think you are convincing anyone or perhaps you are at most preaching to the choir by acting like that instead of answering the question. It was a rather simple question. Can you answer it?
