Yes, I believe I made that point myself.
Quote:It doesn't matter to the person obeying the laws whether Moses made them up in a magic mushroom trip, or whether a real God handed them down as per the story.
Yes, and?
Quote:On the other hand, if the willingness to ACCEPT an imposed moral code represents subjective morality, then even Christians following a real God are exhibiting a subjective morality.
I agree.
