Why is this so difficult for theists to comprehend?whole community is believing that there is no god so where would these laws come from.
Let me give u an example if we are the society and we all agree here as people of that society that doing drugs is a personal choice then there will be a law permitting that.
And if we all agree that robbing a bad person isn't a bad thing then we legitimize too.
And if we all agree that incest is a personal matter then we will legitimize it too.
And they come up with some pretty strange rules.
There are actually societies that internally agree that cutting off the tip of men's penises is a good thing to do.
Then they claim that some God told them to do it.
And don't get me started on dietary conventions......
Some people drink secretions of cows.
Weird but true.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
