The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

[robvalue]

Objective morality doesn't make any sense. It doesn't exist. For one, if God "made morality" then it is subjective to God. I don't care about god's opinion, especially when I don't even believe there is such a thing. Why would I take people's word about what a magic being thinks over actually looking after those around me as best I can? I don't need old books to tell me how to be nice to people. My evidence that I'm doing a good job is simply the feedback I get that I'm a nice and good person, and that I've seen the positive results of my actions throughout my life. If you think I'd be doing a better job by condoning rape, slavery or genocide then you'd be sorely wrong.

My morality is based on maximising the wellbeing of life as much as I can, and minimising harm. That's it, plain and simple. Any other definition of morality I have no interest in. I couldn't care less what "makes God happy", whether or not he exists. He should be able to take care of himself. If he doesn't like me being nice to people, he's a nob.
