Sacrificing our Moral Compasses

[FatAndFaithless]

I believe that the question that Frtodo might be posing is akin to an example in which -you- belong to one of many tribes throughout history (for example) that practice infanticide as a means of birth control (or really..for whatever reason). As a member of that group it's likely that your compass would tell you that killing an infant son, say, for the greater good of a small tribe with limited resources - was just and right. You may even feel compelled, no other option. Might, maybe, mayhaps. This going strictly by the reality of such practices throughout history.

Again, going by the behaviour of the vast majority of human beings on the planet, one generally does what ones "moral compass" compels one to do. Whatever direction that compass is pointing - and however they acquired it.

Is that the sort of question you're posing Frods?

I guess that MIGHT be a bit of a more intelligible question, but he's starting with the premise that I would already think it was a good thing.

"If your moral compass told you to"

I'm just asking where his moral compass points NOW, and asking if he would compromise that based on a God telling him to.
