Unearned moral virtue

Who says you earned yours? Plenty of people knowingly engage in business with and trade with others who have bad reputations. Look at Mel Gibson, or Harvey Weinstein, George Soros, Alex Jones, YOU, Andrew Tate, I mean... The list goes on and on. A bad reputation is not a barrier to cooperation. You're even acknowledge that you have a degree of notoriety. So your reputation isn't good and if your reputation doesn't coincide with who you actually are than it's not a 'reputation' it's a 'facade.'

Hym "The retard is not the fiancé of the whore. Therefore, the retard coveted the fiancés whore-wife. Elon Musk coveted Johnny Depp's wife and you are perfectly willing to laud and cooperate with him. I haven't directly killed anyone yet but in your interpretation of 'speak softly but carry a large stick' you afford yourself the right to use violence. What I took I was allowed to take by people who where perfectly aware of the fact that I was taking it and was in exchange for my tolerance and I paid back anything else I've even taken with interest. All debts paid. And you are a literal charlatan who doesn't believe in an ontologically real God but rather a perennialist euphemism. Every time you arbitrate sin you take God's name in vain.
I also don't require myself to BE good. I am as all others are. Duplicitous. That's an imposition being made by you. You require me to be good. Because, as you said in your debate with Sam Harris, you either have to embody the spirit of christ (by becoming God unto Pharoah) OR you need subordinate yourself to dogma (Which is something you just made up and I require neither of those things). And what I've done demonstrate that not only are you not embodying Christ but your aren't even subordinate to your own perennialist dogma. And I did it publicly and now you're embarrassed. Frantically trying to do damage control to prevent yourself from being put in your proper place. Your problem is that you've largely over-represented the degree to which your virtue has been earned. I've called that into question and now I'm guilty of denying your 'self-evidently earned virtue' and 'damaging your reputation.' So, NOW you're using this to justify taking from me the only thing to which I have a claim (the contents of my own mind) and you're doing it out of spite. And I know what you do is not very difficult because you read a speech that I wrote for $100,000. I don't need unearned moral virtue. My righteousness is demonstrable. And I still HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN MY REFUND!"
