Can Creator create morality from nothing?
#38
RE: Can Creator create morality from nothing?
Whether or not a creator can do anything (including create this or that morality) is honestly superfluous in your line of questioning Mystic. You might say "it's impossible" but based upon what? Your understanding of who or what a creator is? Excuse me for finding that far less than compelling. Perhaps their creator demands precisely this sort of behavior, and it is their creator that is responsible for the cosmos and not your own. Adding in a creator to this question doesn't clarify or elaborate upon any point or issue, it only turns it into a spiritual buffet. Anything that can be asserted becomes equally possible if you simply shuffle around the creators and their creations.

Could such a morality exist, a morality based upon prowess or skill in combat and headcount? Um.....a resounding yes, what with the plethora of cultures here on this very planet that have had similar sorts of morality...I'd say it's possible that such a morality could exist regardless of whether or not a creator was involved in any way. Whether or not you would agree with their understanding of morality is an entirely different issue.

If I misunderstood the question, and you are asking instead whether or not any morality like this could be said to have come from a creator....well....see the above -anything can be said to have come from a creator-. Whether or not anything actually did....lulz.

I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
