Sacrificing our Moral Compasses

[FatAndFaithless]

From your POV, which I take to be atheist, people can't surrender their own moral compass to that of a god. They're rather surrendering it to the moral compass of other men. That's pretty much necessary to an extent, unless you're advocating anarchy.

I don't think I'm exactly sure what you mean. When Christians claim that God is the moral authority, and that right and wrong is contingent upon his word, then they are surrendering their morals compasses to God.

or, are you saying that the Bible is simply written by men trying to interpret the word of God...and therefore I suppose if someone adhered to Biblical morality they would in a sense be surrendering to other humans' morality.
