I know what a dog whistle is. Having said that, it is true that I’m using it in a somewhat nuanced way here. This is a bit like the difference between a Peircian signal and a Peircian signal/sign. I can’t be sure that the person who tells me that I can have my world view and he can have is world view is intentionally telling me he is a creationist or an appeaser, but the signal is clear.

How about, “Does the commenter above pass a Turing test?”

Why is it appropriate anger over the 20 Newtown “babies”, but not the millions killed in the womb?

Aside from that, why is “survival of the fittest” the concept that you aim to teach while banishing the teaching that every HUMAN life is precious because it is a gift from our Creator?

How can one cling to the worldview that “survival of the fittest” is proper thought and then decry weaker humans being slaughtered?”

Your worldview is inconsistent.

You’re claiming the commonly held religious belief that children are innocent in order to advocate banning inanimate pieces of metal (thereby diminishing a person’s ability to defend self and others). When it is convenient to do so, you utilize religious arguments. When you like, you disclaim religious beliefs.

These inconsistencies demonstrate the illogical nature of your worldview.

The attempt at reverse psychology is interesting. You think that by posting Worldview = “I know you’re right, please don’t hurt me” that I’m going to take a defensive position when your position is indefensible and you are the one saying “I know you’re right, please don’t hurt me”.

Now that we’ve addressed the distraction of this post, do you care to engage the questions originally posed?
