Well, that's kind of annoying and all, but since you surely understood the underlying question, being a sapient being who's probably quite smart aside from this one religious barnacle on your brain, why not answer the question the first time instead of making us all leap through these verbal hoops first?Because the truth lies in the details. If you are asking for a proper answer then we must be on the same page when I give it. so many words have been rewritten and have completely lost their orginal meaning. (that is why I defined bigot for you) Yet even in light of the dictionary defination you could only even respond to the popular interpertation of that word... Think of all the other terms that have been redefined.
Save some time, bub!
Quote:So a big part of your job as a good christian is silencing your own morality in order to serve god? That doesn't strike you as a tad creepy?Nooope.
Quote:Nice way to avoid answering the question. I'll amend things, then: if you had an explicit instruction from god, in the parts of the bible you do follow, to murder one child a month as a sacrifice to your god- yet nothing else in the world changes and you would still go to jail for it, say- would you do it?It doesn't say that. Why not ask me how much of what it does say, that I have done? It is almost sicking to me how willing you are to over look what is actuallying being done, to test the principle responsiable for all of these 'good works' on a what if senerio.
What a dark morally corupt thing to do (Even by your own standards.)
Quote:This seems more like it. Will you stick with this answer? Because that's just awful, and I can now say, safely, that my morality is better than your divine commands, because to me, murder is always wrong.
Which is the reason for self righteousness/Morality to begin with. To put God on trial, convict Him inorder to feel 'Moraly obligated' to seperate one's self from Him, while at the same time minimizing one's own sin.
