To answer Nudger, I think that your interpretation of the NT is a bit flawed, what makes you think that it is authoritarian and coercive?
Also, do you guys think that human nature is good, bad or somewhere in between?
Cool, the only commandment I can't do is loving "God." So everything else regarding kindness, empathy, morality, etc. I can do. But you're right, I won't love God. That's fine with me? Lmao. Idk what point you thought you were making.
Human nature is not good or bad. That makes no sense. "Good" and "bad" are inherently subjective. How could we "naturally" be something subjective? I don't like the question. It's like asking what the natural state of H20 is. There isn't one, it's always dependent upon context.
