Question to Theists About the Source of Morality
#2
RE: Question to Theists About the Source of Morality
I believe as human beings, we all have the capability of choosing to do 'bad' things vs 'good' things. Morality is subjective to me. I've had disagreements with other theists over this, actually, because many believe that morality is always objective. That God is the source of morality. This may be so, I look to God as a guide for my life, but still...it is up to me to make a good or bad choice. A choice to help someone or hurt someone. This is why we see Christian bigots, and atheist philanthropists, because morality is subjective, and just because someone believes in a deity, doesn't mean that he/she will make anymore moral decisions, than a non-believer. Plus, morality being subjective means that what I deem moral, another might not...and vice versa.
