No we are not answering your questions. The onus is on you to refute the argument and get yourself out of the corner you have painted yourself into. Carry on...

If you are not willing to agree to terms on establishing some middle ground we will continue to talk past each other because when I use the term ‘morally acceptable’ I am referring to behavior that is in line with scripture.

Within your own definition, the one you have been using to argue your silly premise in here for over a year, whatever definition that suits you, any definition that prevents you wriggling and squirming, hemming and hawing, dodging and ducking...whatever....

Is the stoning of homosexuals universally morally acceptable? Yes or no?

A “yes” answer is often - or eventually - followed by an assertion that it is in the nature of God to command only moral acts. This sometimes leads to the Eurythphro Dilemma and around we go...

Explain what you mean by ‘morally acceptable’. I have told you what I mean to say when I use the term, what does it mean to you?

If an action is not moral because God says so, is it moral because we say so?

Neither, it's personal preference.

If 'good' and 'evil' are merely terms that describe the actions that the majority like or dislike, why should the minority adhere to the personal preferences of the majority?

Santa's morals are objective. He is the standard by which gifts are measured by.
