If you've posted in forums you might remember writing some decent responses. I usually spend a lot of time polishing my discussion forum responses depending on the subject or who I am talking to. Often I want to remember what I said about something, but finding the original post can be difficult. So it makes sense to capture the better responses for later review.

Fun Moral Questions (Religious Forum)
1)Do you believe that there is an objective spiritual reality?
2)If truth is subjective, define truth.
3)If truth is subjective, is there an objective moral code?
4)If truth is objective, but our understanding of truth is subjective, how can any objective moral code exist?
These seem like pretty easy questions to answer:
(1) Put your hand in a fire. Is it cold? Why then do you pull your hand away? That is objective reality; it is also subjective reality.
(2) Put your hand in a fire. Why do you pull it away. Truth is the movement of your hand.
(3) I see your hand is burned. I ask you to put it back in the fire. Why do you refuse?
(4) You hand is burned. You better see a doctor.
