To religious people: If god declared that rape and murder were morally acceptable, would that make them so?
Most of you would probably say that god would not say such a thing. But why not? Presumably because god would have some reason for not making such a declaration. But this means that there is some reason for finding rape and murder to be morally wrong. In which case, why can't we appeal to reason directly and remove god from the discussion?
Believe that "Stone him" would be the accurate term to a rapist. Either that or idk...
But we are aware of this "judgement" problem that Men (human) people had.
God does judge, but righteously, by the fruits of men (works, other).
