Brian get that huge ass straw man outta here. I never claimed that the Abrahamic God was the first God claimed in Human history.
Jor, before we proceed with another post of all that Reductio ad absurdum we've had for 3 posts, please answer my questions first
The rest is a misrepresentation. I never stated that societal or personal morality was bad, just that it was not sufficient for objective measurement because of it's fails through history. I'm certain you used the term "think" unintentionally as you obviously feel I'm not thinking at all. I was positing that a moral objective authority would be better than a societal and subjective morality. I wasn't arguing the nature of said moral authority, or via for compliance with any such authority, just that a ruler measurement than a guesstimate.

We follow laws because they're objectively defined by our society with comparison to us. It is our subjective choice to follow those laws or not and our subjectively moral interpretation whether they are "good or bad". If there is a problem with a distinction or definition of personal morality and societal morality please let me know.

Quote:again with the "believe" .. how tiresome... history is rife with problems with societal morality ie. slavery, witch hunts,crusades, women's rights, I'm sure there's more.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
