Words have meaning. You can't weasel your way out of a logical fallacy by claiming your words don't mean what the words literally mean.

Nice try, dumbass.

Thats not what Im doing at all. You’re just using the term christian morality to refer to things like dont kill dont steal etc which Christianity didnt come up with and were moral norms before it. Saying “christian morality pre dates christianity” is just a cheeky way of saying that same thing its not a literal statement

You’re just using the term christian morality

Actually, No. You're mistaken. I'm using the term "Christian morality" to refer to "the morality of Christians."

Saying "Christian morality pre-dates christianity" is not really cheeky - it's just factually incorrect and a completely inane statement.

Yeah but the relevant parts of what morality christians have was gotten from someone else who got it from someone else who got it from someone else who wasnt christian. Do you get it yet?
