Why Secular Morality is Superior

[John V]

To be born into a criminal sentence is justice? To inherit a criminal sentence for the crime of a man who (never) lived thousands of years ago is justice?

We're sentenced for our own crimes. Regarding those who die as children, an age of accountability doctrine can be derived from Scripture.

You can call God's salvation mercy, because choosing not to punish someone when you have the power to do so is merciful, but let's not misuse the word 'grace'. Graceful forgiveness would only be possible under a just legislator and just laws. We may argue on what makes a law just, but I imagine you live either in the same country I do or one with a similar legal structure, and you would probably not wish to submit to the legal system based upon despotic fiat.

From another human, I agree, but this isn't coming from another human.

I, personally, would not make an exception for any despot, including your god. I recognize as valid no legal system imposed upon me by a legislator who considers himself above his own laws.

I, personally, believe a creator has the right to do with his creation as he wishes. We've discussed mankind's treatment of other species (which we didn't even create) and you haven't gotten around that point yet.
