Evangelical Alliance: "We aren't homophobic women-haters"

[Lek]

Unless you stone adulterers and people who work on the Sabbath, god is just as much a moral relativist as anyone else. If you want to say that these things are good because god decreed them, fine. But it's clear that even god does not promote the idea of objective morals. Unquestioning obedience based on blind faith doesn't make for a particularly strong set of morals, either.

They used to hang horse thieves. You could kill a person by stealing his horse. This isn't moral relativism, but the same morality being applied to the situation at the time. God was purposely separating the Jewish nation, which he needed to remain whole, from the surrounding nations. The strict law was one of the ways to keep the pagan influences from working their way into the Israelite nation.
