Atheists; what do you base your morals on?

[jstrodel]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You have two options with the Bible:
1. It IS the Word of God
2. It IS NOT the Word of God.

What is the Word of God? Where does the definition of what the word of God come from? Have you ever seen a Word of God? What does a Word of God look like?

When you define the nature of the concept "Word of God", what do you use to fill that understand of the concept?

In the Bible, God uses prostitutes, adulterous kings, deceitful people, murders and blasphmers and horrible tragedy to declare his Word.

Where do you get your idea of what the Word of God is?

I challenge you to prove to me, based on a trans-cultural perception of ethics, why I should accept the present system, which taxes my money which I worked for and uses it to pay for things that are against the most important thing to me, my faith. Why should my money go to be used to promote liberalism?

Umm, maybe because your non-existent god tells you to pay taxes..?

Matthew 22:21
"Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're in fact a Poe. Such a slip up can't be anything else but someone pretending to be a Christian.

Obviously being commanded to pay taxes is different from accepting a tax system in a Democratic Republic that is heavily tilted against the Christian church. Of course, Christians are required to pay taxes, I am not encouraging people to break tax laws, I am saying ethically, why should Christians feel any obligation to accept a system that disadvantages them?

I pay taxes, but I don't accept the system. It is tyrannical.

And anarchists shouldn't pay any taxes at all.

I was an anarchist before I became a Republican, I still consider myself left libertarian, non-capitalist (but this must come from below), anti-authoritarian.

Liberals are tyrannical.
