Obviously, evaluating anything without a frame of reference is impossible, however, the attempt is always objectivity. By identifying that which appears to be deeply rooted in human nature we can go a long way toward dissuading false assumptions which our based only on our current cultural outlook.
I am most certainly not claiming empathy. I believe you misrepresented certain historical figures and used a psychological term to make a moral judgement without showing how the two were related, so I was correcting you. How is that ignorance?
As for my theistic bias, although I probably do have some bias, you don’t know in which direction it leans, something I purposely avoided. You might be somewhat surprised, however, if you found out.
My bias in this case is clear. I have a real problem with gross, misleading oversimplifications such as:
The one-to-one comparison is silly and childish. You’ve made no attempt to understand the allegorical meaning behind the story of Abraham, nor have you looked at the situations leading to the woman and her children.
Although this is a free country and you are allowed to hold any opinion you like, I believe this kind of junk is counterproductive to a society already corrupt with intolerance and emotional judgements like this one.
If your ire is at the jab I took at you at the end of my post, know that I’m only attacking what appears to be an emotional outburst. Something we’re all guilty of (including myself) from time to time. I therefore apologize, as I was being quite a bit childish myself.
