Question to Theists About the Source of Morality

[God of Mr. Hanky]

Mr. Hanky

Well, just who is this god?

I gave the answer to this in my post to Irrational, this very post you seem to dislike.

No. You. Didn't! You couldn't even pick him out in a police lineup. How about biographical data? What, none of that either, and still you claim to have "personal" relationship with that "person"?

I call poo!

When you lift folded hands to the sky on bended knee, or whatever it is you do when you call it "prayer", the  obvious fact is that the only person who you are conversing with is yourself when alone, and when it's out loud in company you are doing no more than addressing the crowd.

Oh, Hell! That's a huge leap to take for one who won't even reveal himself to you.

This absolutely makes no sense. The One who created all things is limitless.

So limitless that he can't even show you his face without killing you? So limitless that he couldn't cut his own stone tablets, much less write a book without the use of other people's hands, and then he couldn't even get those hands to write with any consistency on their bio data and how events played out? You need to stop posting, and read that bible some more - read all of it, and then read it again!

This is why God gave us His word so that we could come to belief in Him and search out who He is in a relationship with Him through Christ. This is a simple way to explain what Christians understand or at least most of us, but to go into it deeply would mean a Bible study which most here would ignore.

Oh, so it's the god of that book - the one of a long list of atrocities which I'm sure even you are aware of, and who's best solution for saving people from his own errors as an all-perfect creator was the murder of his own son. One who thinks that's anybody they should trust is one who makes me worry!

What errors? Man killed Christ not the Father, man was able to kill Christ because Christ allowed it to happen, this is stated in the scriptures that seemingly you haven't read or you wouldn't make such statements. Yes, it is the God of the Bible.

Intentional martyrdom is suicide. Suicide is evil. Child sacrifice is evil. Filicide is the most horrific abomination against humanity imaginable! Attempting to mitigate the impact of evil with more evil is pointless, and particularly stupid. We are supposedly in that god's image? Well, I'll give you this, being one who generally believes that man has created gods according to his own image, it's disturbing to think there was a man who was bad enough to create your god! Perhaps such an incredible multifecta of evil really does require something supernatural. But I know you won't judge the actions of your god, because he told you not to.

Given the multiple personality variances according to the different people who wrote for this god (who is so mighty he doesn't even have his own hand to write with), plus the fact that he still won't even show anyone his face, there's less a chance that the bible describes any real god as there is that the ramblings of anybody's sock puppets describe the real god.

God is Spirit, He's not a physical being as we are, again if you had read the Bible you would know this. What requirement is there that God has to reveal himself to our eyes, many people believe in dark matter yet it has never been seen. By what you say dark matter must be rejected because it hasn't revealed itself to us.

You know there happens to be stronger evidence for the existence of dark matter than there is for the existence of any metaphysical god? This will always be so for any scientific idea, including geocentrism and the Flat Earth conspiracy theory. It's like that because they are logically falsifiable ideas, while your assertions aren't in any way. That's why they don't belong here!
