I know he doesn't see it this way, but the god that Acrobat alleges to believe in seems to me an impersonal god that, through Acrobat's agency, is moved to move Acrobat to feel various sorts of feels and oughts. But then, what important causal role does such a god play then if all this can be done without it? What exactly is an atheist like Vulcan missing in his moral view that Acrobat thinks he has?

Yes, it renders god completely obsolete, especially considering the fact that the Bible (if he is Christian) doesn’t even condemn the most horrible moral atrocities, like rape and human slavery, that Acrobat himself probably (hopefully) has no internal inclination toward, and never has.


You're right about one thing, Christianity, as expressed in the NT, isn't all that interested in condemning actions, because it's not really about actions at all. It hardly ever addresses the injustices or immorality of Rome, or the political concerns of the time. It concerns itself with being, or what might closely be understand as "character". So rather than Paul condemning the actions of the slave owner, he demands something more radical, that he love his slave like his own brother, treat him as he would Paul himself, etc...

It's less concerned with condemnation, and more concerned with reconciliation, the uniting of the slave and his master in love. Such love might make it possible for a man to own a slave, but Christianity need not say that much.

Christianity isn't concerned so much with the fruits of sin/bad/evil, but the root of it. Something that liberal politcal ideologies, might say is rooted by economical/political disparities, which Christianity sees as far deeper than any of those things, but as the collective failing to submit to Love, and our inability to recognize the weight of that failing.

Racism is failure of the heart, that isn't resolved by any sort of political structure, or implantation of new laws, but it does require a recognition of the lynching tree, of an innocent man hung up on a tree, whose blood lays upon our hands as the result of our collective failure.
