Quote:if God is the source of moralityAgain, God is not the source of morality. God is the source of true Righteousness. Morlity is man's attempt at said Righteousness. That makes God's express will absolute and unchanging, and yet allows man to change his understanding of 'morality' to fit whatever culture or age he lives in. In short morality' is the sin man has found acceptable to live with while True Godly righteousness is the absence of sin.
Quote:then morality isn't objective as it's subject to God's will; if morality is not subject to God's will then it may or may not be objective but God can't be the source. That's a conflict which scripture simply can't address. Instead, special pleading is the only way that apologists have tried to resolve this problem.
What's your response to this argument?

is an attribute of God? Or the greek word: dikaiosynē
1) in a broad sense: state of him who is as he ought to be, righteousness, the condition acceptable to God
Quote:Being righteous means adhering to moral principles. Which is why, even if your god describes himself as righteous, his actions, since they speak otherwise, allow us to judge him as decidedly unrighteous and immoral.
