If you are on the auth right, try rephrase your arguments so that:
1) you do NOT mention Bible
2) you do NOT mention God or objective morality as written by him.
3) you do Not mention degeneration

I am sure you will get much better results.

@LukeAlmighty Libshits pilpul "degenerate" like it needs some metaphysical justification but it just means "getting worse" and if you say that, they can do the same thing with "worse"

I get being hesitant with it since it's a meme, but also being defensive about it would probably just lead to the same thing with something else. If they try pilpuling it just post a dictionary at them

@applejack @LukeAlmighty how is "I liked it better before" a relevant point tho?
@applejack @LukeAlmighty that's what "degenerate" means. It's a value judgment like any other, it just doesn't make for a good argument

@cereal @LukeAlmighty Exactly the pilpulling I meant.

degenerate adjective
: having declined or become less specialized (as in nature, character, structure, or function) from an ancestral or former state

It's a word, you retard.

>a good argument
"good"? That's just a value judgement like any else. Kill yourself

@applejack
Throwing out certain words as easy as you'd breathe mellows / severely dilutes their meanings. 'Degenerate' is supposed to be an utterly gutteral, almost brutish response to an action or a state of being, so applying it to stupid and meaningless arguments and non-problems makes you sound wishy-washy and signals to other people that even -you- don't value your own words.

@Bunn0241 @cereal @LukeAlmighty I haven't applied it to a single thing. Do you have any idea what you're even trying to argue?

It was more of an agreement to the original post rather than a targeted response to you specifically. You couldn't have known better, since I replied directly to you by mistake.

I don't form arguments for conversations I'm not a part of.
