What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[Catholic_Lady]

defined by a person =/= created by God

Remember when I said I believe morality was created by God?

Remember, I do not believe God is a person. Perhaps the word defined was not the best word for me to use. Created would be much more accurate.

'Created' is irrelevant. Does god have a mind? A point of view? An opinion?  That means subjective.

How do you know you're right?
said the Little Prince, because he never let go of a question if he asked it.

Ignoring things won't make them go away....especially if those things are me

I am sorry, Neim, I did not mean to ignore you. The question of "how do I know I'm right" would basically be the same question as "why do I believe in Christianity," Which is all that is comes down to. This has been covered already in this thread. It is long and difficult to put into words. But Randy did a good job of it. His posts about it represent my sentiments as well.

I understand this. My question was, would the boy be more prone to suicide if his offender is behind bars for life verses if he was dead?

If so, do you support the death penalty for child molesters?

I don't support death penalty for anybody. Does it matter? It wouldn't make a difference.

I agree. That's what I was asking Nope.

Is it objectively wrong to push a knife deliberately into the body of another person?

The isolated act of pushing a knife into someone? No. :-)

Because as someone pointed out, it could be a medical procedure to save/improve the life of another person.
