Why It Is Not Too Late To Repent And Turn To Christ

[Esquilax]

Their deity isn't moral at all, because he doesn't have to be. He makes no bones about it, either; his words and actions remind us that he's the boss and he can fuck you up eight ways to Sunday if he's in the mood for it.

The Christian's morality has a single component: what does god command? That is why some of them refer to absolute or objective morals. Whatever god commands is moral. Whatever he does not command is immoral. No action is intrinsically right or wrong, good or bad. If a Christian man walked over to his neighbor's house and slaughtered the parents, pets, and sons and took the virgin daughters home today, he has committed an atrocious and immoral act... because god did not command it. Not because killing, kidnapping, or rape is wrong in and of itself, but because he was not acting under god's orders.

So if Rev is asking where we get our morals, he's really asking who it is we blindly obey. He feels that without god, we have no one to blindly obey, and therefore we cannot have morals. Because that is what morals mean to him.

I think you're about right here, because when I actively tried to ask Rev about this, instead of answering the question he got all evasive and accused me of trying to trap him, which just makes me think that the honest answer he'd have to give sounded pretty goddamn awful to the objective part of his brain.
