But here you are complaining you don't find a lot of people debating 1 + 1 = 2.
please be slightly more specific

you don't find a lot of people debating 1 + 1 = 2
Because something that simple and obvious need not be debated.
But here you are complaining you don't find a lot of people debating 1 + 1 = 2.

i'm simply mentioning it as an example

this does not even remotely qualify as "complaining"

Saying, “you don't find a lot of people debating 1 + 1 = 2.”

Is like saying  you don’t find a lot of people being nice.

That is complaining because you would have preferred a lot more people debating 1 + 1 = 2.

a statement that a situation is unsatisfactory or unacceptable is complaining.

Your statement , “you have thoroughly and completely misread my intention.” Is a complaint.

So subjectivity and morality isn’t relevant to anything we’ve been discussing?
My god dude, read the damn thread.

We were talking about objectivity and subjectivity until you suddenly switched and started focusing on appeal to emotion fallacies, which I have been explaining ever since is not relevant to our conversation.

You can't even keep up with your own objections.

Maybe you should take your own advice.

Which isn’t a departure from subjectivity if you read the damn thread.

K_Michael:  Either the Bible (or whatever informs your flavor of religion) has clear instructions on how you should live your life and you don't get to decide for yourself, or the Bible isn't the word of God. 
Tarik: You can agree with something without it being your word.

K_Michael: If the Bible isn't the word of God, then what indication do you have that He agrees with it?

Tarik: I never said The Bible was or wasn’t the word of God, I simply made a general statement.
This was not a general statement in that it was made in the context of our discussion of the Bible, and while it might be generally applicable to other subjects and contexts, it would be disingenuous to claim that it is inapplicable to the Bible being the word of God. It is clear from your previous interactions in this thread (quoting scripture for things like whether God punishes nonbelievers) that you take the Bible to be a credible document that can accurately inform your religious beliefs. And if you believe the Bible, then you must believe that the Bible is truthful when it states
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 - KJV

It says Christian on your profile. You've quoted the Bible several times in this Forum topic alone. Regardless, if we were to replace every time the Bible was mentioned with "whatever informs your flavor of religion" as I said before, my point stands.
Either the Bible (or whatever informs your flavor of religion) has clear instructions on how you should live your life and you don't get to decide for yourself, or the Bible isn't the word of God.

You mean your question? Well in that case I guess it’s because I agree with it and I’m not satisfied with just feelings alone, I want them validated and God does that.

No, looks like it's still a declarative statement.

Validation is still just a feeling. Verification is factual, and you've provided no evidence that God has done that, especially since you still haven't specified how you think God makes His Will known on Earth.

You should visit the case for the historicalJesus for any validation.

Which isn’t a departure from subjectivity if you read the damn thread.
The only time it was discussed at all is when you asserted that the two were necessarily tied to which I ignored it because it's a nonsense assertion and not what we're talking about.

In case you forgot (which you clearly have) this conversation is about what objectivity and subjectivity are, which we had to get into because of the original conversation that morality does not make sense unless it is objective. Nothing about that topic has anything to do with appeal to emotion fallacies.

So why don’t you get back to the original conversation which is about what objectivity and subjectivity are, which we had to get into because of the original conversation that morality does not make sense unless it is objective.

If the topic has nothing to do with appeal to emotions, how is subjectivity influenced by that?

That was an exchange between Tarik and Double_R. See Post#889

Tarik: Which isn’t a departure from subjectivity if you read the damn thread.

the concept of moral-impulse defined as merely a reflection of personal-preference makes much more sense than trying to conceive of some unknowable "objective" moral-standard

That is why God handed Moses the 10 commandment. So Moses would be spared the burden of building concepts of moral-impulse defined as merely a reflection of personal-preference. No Moses could claim the moral standard came from God and not conceived of some unknowable "objective" moral-standard.

Moses did!!

Exodus 34:27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
