"Morality" is a variable and not an absolute standard. In essecne morality is whatever you want it to be. To judge this moral or immoral means nothing aside from taking a survey of the popular moral standard of your peers on this board. Morality is not the standard of righteousness you believe it to be.

Quote:and that God’s first principle of morality is hare/harm and that this would prevent him from demanding the death of his son?
To make this assertion based from the bible, one would have to ignore the rest of the bible that calls for the death/blood sacerfice of Christ.

Or admit that it is all a myth.

I assume you chose your God and did not just inherit him from daddy and granddaddy.

If so it would have been on his morals.

If his first moral edict is not harm/care for children then what is it?

Thank for trying to dance away from the issue of the O P.

It has little to do with death.

It has to do with the morality of God having his son needlessly murderered to fill a condition that he himself set.

Was it moral for him to do so.

The secondary issue is, --- is it moral to punish the innocent for someone else's sin or crime?
