That, if you had a time machine...you could go back and loot and pillage and rape with the alleged founder of your religion.......and that would be totally kosher? That's a convenient set of morals for a child rapist, I'd imagine. Maybe it's only wrong on the second friday of every month that falls on a even number? Or maybe it's only wrong during one holy month. Or maybe it's only wrong five times a day..when you should be doing something else?
Maybe it's only wrong when your victims don't totally want it/love it/have it coming?
Quote:As I already said, you can't demonstrate that anything is morally wrong outside belief systems. Why the killing of an innocent human being is wrong if getting away with murder means that the killer will never be punished for his crime ? What's the difference between the genocide of thousands of people and the extermination of million of bacterias when you shower ? Can you even prove that morality is rational without warranting any religious premise ?If you have to ask, that might explain why you don't see a problem with your prophets actions.
