I said your morality is not an absolute, its a variable. God is an absolute not a variable. The problem being you can not judge an absolute against a changing variable.
Okay. But you didn't answer the question.
Would it bother you? If you found that your God had indeed authorized or sanctioned such a thing, would you consider that act to be bad or wrong?
A straightforward answer would be appreciated, but I understand that providing one might take more than you're able to give; house of cards and all that jazz. Whatever it takes to hold it together.
Avoid the question if you must.
nupe.
Why you ask?
Glad you asked, whew we could have a mess if you chose to just blindly respond.
Any the why is simple really, i do not assign 'moral value' on any action. As my thread points out we can justify absolutely anything if enough of the people in a given society want it. so to say this is moral or that is not is simply to parrot back what people want your responsibility to society to be. Which is cool, fine whatever.If you live in a society we must have rules. now if the proclivities of society is to exploit a section of society that need protection then yes I'm all for that. However, that does not mean their is an inherent evil that needs to be associated to a given soceitial law or even immorality.
Again slavery is a good example. Now without a doubt in society it is illegal to own a slave and also immoral to even endorse it. Yet this society can not exist without them and a lot of them. Our whole economy still works of slave labor/cheap goods. So in society rather than admit this principle found in every single human society that is or has ever existed. 'we' pretend to be better. But we have a problem, we still have slaves. so what do we do? we relabel and re market them. we exaggerate one or two attributes of slavery and pretend that ALL slavery is really really bad, so we can then say this (what we are doing now) is not slavery. The problem? it is. If we simply look up the defination of the word and go with the definition provided of general slavery, we will learn that all of those who provide our cheep good albeit not "Chattle slaves" they are still slaves even though we call them by different titles.
Now why isn't all modern slavery all immoral like society says? because without it billions and billions of people would literally starve to death. and/or be with out shelter, that the world economies would fail, and billions more would die. without cheap goods the money you have quickly becomes worthless.
Point? while you assign moral value to words like slavery, you turn a blind eye to it actually happening all around you.
Similarly you want me to judge God for potentially allowing a minor to get married, yet society blesses two teens with condom give aways at school, and birth control for girls they don't have to tell their parents about.
How foolish is a society to judge God for making or deeming a young couple like that married and make them be responsible for their action, while it lets the same age kids pass each other around like candy.
So again no, no problem at all.
Now ask what I think about the hypocrisy of a society that allows kids to have sex, and judges God for the same act when responsibility for their actions is added.
