The Struggle to do Good

[downbeatplumb]

It's not just our opinion that skullfucking our neighbor to death is bad

If God doesn't exist, then that would just be your opinion that may or may not be shared by the majority of people.

An opinion produced by a bag of skin and bones. A bag of skin and bones that didn't have to exist that is the byproduct of a mindless natural process that didn't have to exist that just so happens to be pointed towards increasing the survivability of species rather than what is true.

On the other hand, if God does exist, then these principles that you admit are "not just our opinion" would be ultimately grounded in the first, necessary, and maximally powerful being.

What difference do you think the possible existence of god makes to morality?

Some people think it is moral to kill their daughters for talking to boys.
Some people think its moral to kill homosexuals.

Both of those are "morals" based on religion.


In the bible its immoral to eat shellfish, pig, wear mixed fabric or have tattoos.


I'm fairly sure you have "chosen" to do one or more of the above which are in the bible so would have come from god if there was one. But you subjectively chose to ignore them didn't you.
