This is getting silly.

You're arguing that he is misrepresenting your position because he said "actions make them a bad person" rather than "actions not thought", when it means the same thing. Removing "not thoughts" doesn't change your argument that actions are what make impact one's character, which he correctly maintains as your argument. 


and then you proceed to completely misrepresent his argument that thought does play a role by arguing that he is saying that "thoughts can make someone equally as bad as actions" when he never even came close to saying that. Matt gives an example of putting down sick Old Yeller versus killing a dog out of malice, and that's what you took from it?

This is beyond pathetic.

Well the 2 of you can always be counted on to provide your unbiased opinions. Why would I not call it equally as bad when, he was the one that said there was "no scaling of badness". So if there is no scaling and "no degree" another thing he said. Then they can be nothing other that equal. 

No one can argue the merit of the thought only the semantics. Even when Matt did try to refute the point by providing example; he had both people committing an act. Not one single thought in your head makes you a bad person. It is your actions in regards to those thoughts that makes one bad.

Yep, pathetic.
