I'm trying to avoid the obvious dodges that theists use to avoid answering the question, so that I can get to the information that I want to know; namely, whether you derive your morals from an unchanging source, or whether they change as god's opinion does.
Surely you'd agree that, when you're asked "would X or Y change your position?" that answering "X or Y will never happen," doesn't answer the question?
Quote: Secondly, you are trying to ask a hypothetical with what intention, to trap me? They did the same to Jesus. I am not going to answer this one.
Trap you? No: I just want to know whether your moral positions shift along with the opinions of a conscious (divine or no) entity, or whether they're actually objective and remain true regardless of what anyone thinks of them.
Though I find it rather telling that you'd consider that question a trap: could it be that the answer that actually came to your mind struck you as somewhat troubling? Would posting it here make you look bad among the atheists?
