The Quran and The Prohibiting of Pedophilia? Marriage Contracts
#97
RE: The Quran and The Prohibiting of Pedophilia? Marriage Contracts
If it's moral for god to torture people, then that does away with any kind of objective morality. (Obviously this doesn't apply to Atlas' non-sentient version of Allah.) If it's okay to do stuff it otherwise wouldn't be just because of your standing in the universe, I'd say it logically follows that it would be moral for me to torture my own self-aware creations in a virtual (sub)universe, assuming I could create such a thing. I am their God, effectively.

I don't understand the "God isn't a man" explanation. If a non-human super powerful alien showed up and started torturing us, would that be moral?

Of course, God (assuming it is real) is generally defined so that it can do whatever the hell it likes. But morality isn't about what you are capable of doing, it's about how you should use your power. In my eyes, the more power you have, the more responsibility you should bear to use it carefully.
