Materialism a discredited philosophy  

"Right and wrong exist without the issue of sin or the requirement of a divine being or force. On that issue I take the Buddhist position that an intelligent, learned person would not think of commiting a 'wrong' act."

well, that position has been fully discredited In human experience and modern history. Show me one absolute moral truth that can't be relativized  ( on a human level)

that's the problem with you libz. You don't believe in objective good or evil, and you relativize everythig. And you must relativize everything since you act as though a absolute standard of moral truth doesn't exist.

"let God be true and every man a liar". -- saint Paul. That includes you Crowbot. I assume you imagine yourself a intelligent learned person?

Have you ever committed a wrong act?

I rest my case.

useful idiot.
