Morality is an arbitrary standard in which man derived from his own personal version of righteousness. It is man's attempt to grade and judge sin. Minimalizing common sins, making them acceptable, and vilifying others making them heinous to divert attention from the sins we come to accept.

In a word morality is What Christ described as Self righteousness. (A personal righteousness found apart from God's stated righteousness.)

How about, just once, you address the point raised as it was raised, instead of demanding everyone else work to your secret definitions of words? You know very well what was being said there, and yet instead of answering that you launch into this nothingy little rant about what words should mean.

Just reply according to intent in future, honestly. Not everyone needs to speak your twisted up version of the english language.

Now, to continue the discussion, you're essentially advocating divine command here, right? Whatever god says, goes? So you have no morality, then (no sense of "righteousness" if it helps you.) Nothing is beyond your scope of reason, so long as god commands it? If he commanded you, personally, to murder children, but alters nothing else about the world, shows himself to nobody else, only you, you'd do it? Even though this divine edict will, to the outside world, seem nothing but abhorrently evil?

Would you do it?
