Truly amazing. Its like telling a Christian that I don't believe any such
omni god exists, then being repeatedly asked what I think "God" intended. I
assert that morality is myth; send with it many arguments. You challenge
none, but not only assume that I must be mistaken, but hold "morality" as a
"sacred idea" not to be questioned. No priest nor preacher has ever
evidenced more faith in a revered fallacy. I'm sorry I intruded upon your
worship service. It won't happen again.
