Quote:1. (Perhaps most important) Theistic morality confuses the issues of what morality is and what is moral.
Perhaps some of them weren't meant to be laws of morality? They're more like guidelines for living for God.
Remember what Christians today believe. They don't care about sticking to old rituals too strictly, rather accepting Jesus.
There is a verse in the Bible(I'll look it up later) where Jesus says something about there is no "greater sin". Every sin is the same. A murder is the same as calling someone a fool. It's more based on conscious of what is right and wrong. If you conscious tells you it's wrong, it's wrong.
Quote:2. Theistic morality provides an "easy out"
Do you know what the word "repent" means? That is what you're supposed to do when you commit a sin in Christianity. You ask for forgiveness and promise to never do it again.
Quote:3. "GodWillsIt" is not an answer
4. Euthephro's Dilemma
Idk what you're saying there? Care to explain?
Quote:5. Read the damn Bible already!
I'm pretty sure it said no adultery. As for slavery, it says "obey your master". I know that sounds harsh but get this, slavery back then more like being a servant. It was nothing like the trianglular trade African slavery we think of. Genocide? Do not murder?
Quote:6. Christianity is a dangerous belief system
Exactly, so have faith and believe.
Err Idk but I'm a Christian and I don't kill.
Quote:7. Look at the results
People who call themselves Christians aren't neccassarily Christians. Just cause they celebrate Christmas doesn't mean they follow the teachings. My school is full of Christians, and they're the nicest people I have ever met, no joke.
