I never stated that anyone who does not share my beliefs is a psychopath. You have clearly either misunderstood me or are being intentionally obtuse.

Not sure what you mean here as I simply can't understand the grammar and meaning of your wording

Theologists commonly argue "there is a moral absolute" (called god) - so far no proof of this one (fun fact: moral absolutes are not proof-able. They even cannot be falsified - thus their existence is not important. I will leave this research up to you (in fact its a point of believe. And I think we agree that "believe" should not matter in any reasonable discussion.
1: No proof does not mean it does not exist.
2: You may think they are not important but that is simply your opinion.
3: You may think "belive" should not matter in a reasonable discussion but that is again only your opinion.

Incorrect.

As I have already disucussed, killing someone can be justifiable and "right" depending on the circumstances and therefore would not be an absolute.

An absolute would be a specific and therefore you would not be able to apply a certain part or quality of that specific to other circumstances. Example, "premeditated murder" is an absolute(just as an example) That is specific. I am not saying "any and all killing of a human being is wrong" as that is not specific. See the difference?

So to argue that just because "any and all killing of a human being" is not an absolute means that "premeditated murder" is not an absolute is non-sensical. To aruge such would be no different to saying "because an orange isn't an apple then all apples aren't apples".

Have you truly misunderstood me? Is English not your first language and therefore you have mistaken my meaning?(honest question and not trying to be rude)

Or are you utilizing a straw man arguement? Or maybe just trying to be obnoxious?

I don't think anyone else in this thread has taken my meaning to be "if you do not share my beliefs you are a psychopath/sociopath/terrorist(I never even used the last two words for gods sake!)"

If you are not trying to be intentionally rude then I suggest you do one of two things....
1: Ask for clarification before jumping to assumptions
or
2: Learn to read and comprehend the english language fully before attempting to join a discussion with those more fluent in the language than you.

Firstly, Sharing Vs Copying is not semantics. The two are completely different processes and the meaning of each must be made clear and understood by all before discussion can take place.

Secondly, I was merely trying to point out that the picture posted by the person I originally replied to stated that the process was copying and therefore to suggest it was sharing without the process of copying taking place was a bit disengenious.

Finally, I wont bother responding to you any further as it is obvious you either do not understand the written word well enough to enable discussion without far too much effort or you are intentionally misinterpreting my meaning in an attempt to be rude and obnoxious.
