Morality

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Turn it around: if God mandates what is moral, why does morality differ so much depending on time, place, and circumstance? Tribes in Papua-New Guinea clearly don’t have the same moral strictures regarding murder that you and I do. Stealing medicine for a desperately ill child clearly doesn’t carry the same moral burden as kidnapping.

It strikes me that if God is the source of morality and wants people to behave according to his moral strictures, he could easily have imparted the same innate moral sense to everyone who has ever lived.

Supposedly he did.  "14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:  15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;" -- Romans 2:14-15.  Which leads to the next bad faith argument that these people who do not follow the law of God do so because they are in rebellion against God for loving sin too much.

Hey Kingpin, got any more shitty arguments that have been dragged through the mud so many times there ain't a clean spot on them?  All you're doing is demonstrating that you are an ignorant and stupid man.

Reminds me of the old chestnut about the primitive tribesman and the missionary. 

The tribesman says, ‘So, if I believe what you’ve told me about this Jesus fellow, I’ll go to Heaven, but if I don’t believe, I’ll go to hell?’

‘That’s right,’ beams the missionary.

‘But what if you hadn’t told me about him - would I go to hell?’

‘Oh, no,’ says the missionary. ‘God in his mercy would understand and forgive your ignorance and you would go to heaven.’

The tribesman grips his spear a little tighter and says through gritted teeth, ‘Then WHY did you tell me about him?’
