Quote:This is the sleight of hand. I should be asking "is Google a human being"? Because I thought we were talking about ownership over morals themselves, not people.
Why would god have ownership of human morals any more than ownership of human people? It's called self determination. Try it sometime. Let's not pretend anyone's engaging in sleight of hand here but yourself. You stepped in shit..and frankly, there's no way out of it now. You're suggesting, here, that my cat might have some authority over my morality, and there's no way for you to justify that in the case of god or my cat that doesn't amount to something you'd rather not be seen saying.
That suggests, to me, that you know better.
A cat, or an existent god for that matter...might have it's own morality, and it may own that. That says nothing about a human morality, or any given human beings morality. There's no room there for cross species or inter-individual moral proscription.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
