Sacrificing our Moral Compasses

[FatAndFaithless]

Well, thanks for not answering the question.

And no, if anyone told me to kill my son, I'd react similarly to Hitchens and say "Fuck you" to whoever told me.

So you don't trust your moral sense?

Interesting, thanks for answering.

No I wouldn't do it either. Would that be weakness or lack of conviction on my part? Probably. I can't imagine how I'd react in that situation.

How about you? How do you reconcile what you've just said given your original point?

The utter surrender of one’s own moral compass to the whims (as the above mentions) of a being is something that I find both disgusting and extremely dangerous.

Isn't selfishness in going against what is right disgusting? Is that how you think society should work?

What in the hell are you talking about? I wouldn't kill my son because I do trust my moral sense. You seem to have your immoral cart before the horse in your second question. What's disgusting is the fact that someone would give up their own morals to someone else (god), admitting that they couldn't tell right from wrong.
