Neither that, nor the fairy world imagined by so many, has any bearing on a hypothetical moral reality, however. How and by what we were or are made is no more than a biological reality, not a moral reality.
Quote: Christians make the exclusive truth claim that our world was established by YHWH or the unmoved mover. God is real weather or not your brain imagines him to exist, and there are countless spirits within the world which your imagination also denies so all you are left with is your own cognition.The world could be chock full of things that go bump in the night..but, as above, whether there are one or one billion gods, that has no bearing on a hypothetical moral reality. How many angels dance on the heads of pins would be a supernatural reality, not a moral reality.
Quote: Our base truth-claims are worlds apart, you are a creation which denies the existence of a creator. You are an intelligent being which denies the existence of an intelligent, or intentionally organized world. Your birth was based on biological rules but my question to you is what is your explanation for as to how those rules were written?Are the rules of nature as expressed in what you believe to be a created world interchangeable with moral rules? Unless you think that what is natural and/or supernatural is right, you've got a non-starter here.
I get that people who firmly believe in created worlds and intervening spirits think that this somehow effects a moral reality - but..rather than assume this and leave everyone wondering, perhaps you'd care to draw some straight line between them, so that it could matter whether or not those claims are true?
