The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work
RE: The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work
There is no contradiction in my thinking. Just because I don't believe in an absolute right or wrong, doesn't mean I have absolutely no basis for right or wrong. You think your god's opinion of right and wrong is absolute, despite the fact that when morality comes from someone it is subjective by definition. Your response is to just say it isn't because god is different. Different how? Different because he's on top? Might makes right, and we can't do anything about it, so we might as well agree with him.

Judging someone as evil doesn't mean I instinctively know he exists, any more than judging any other character in any other book as evil. Or good. Or somewhere in between. I think Batman is awesome. It doesn't make him real, any more than me thinking The Joker is evil.

We're at a standstill now. You claim subjective morals have no meaning because they are subjective, while stating god's morals are objective despite them coming from him instead of just something he abides by himself. I disagree on both, and neither of us is making progress convincing the other. We're just going to have to call this a draw.
