I cannot see the issue where you are debating the philosophy of objective morality, when this morality comes through punishments of sin as stated in the bible from your mythical god.
Quote:Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid.
God has come to test you, so that the fear of
God will be with you to keep you from sinning."
If your mythical god told you to rape an innocent victim, as much as murder is a religious sin, so is rape EXCEPT when commanded by your mythical god! Just as mythical god sacrificed his own son, sin has always been for the objective morality of mythical god. What can you say against a command by your own mythical god? Will you show weakness of your faith and stop because you have been argued against by 'human morals' that are subjective? I would say no. Your answer would be > TO RAPE, as demanded by your authority.
I say to you that your moral standards are not as mine. I have no sin nor do I feel it even exists. No man or woman was born evil or should be labelled sinners that deserve external punishment, NOR is any child born evil irrespective of their actions.
My morals are provided from a HIGHER source than your mythical god. They are humanitarian and well thought out by an entire society. Even if I was pushed to break my own morals and society's laws, I would know it is wrong and make a choice not to continue. My standards are not held to an authority that YOU yourself agree gives me free will to go against; obviously UNLESS the demand is put onto you, where your morals are thrown out the window.
My views on objective morality > Ridiculous and laughable. Unless of course anything I've mentioned is against your beliefs. and you wish to comment?
How can you honestly say you are against rape when your own mythical god commands murder? (and rape to the Israelites). That's not morals that's crazy talk. No wonder you don't want to have anything to do with other well thought out views, I don't want anything to do with yours!
