Simple question for Christians.

Wait, wait.

I look at someone smashing someone else with a rock for no reason and taking his stuff. I judge that as immoral because it is harmful to human life, and society, to behave that way. I can defend this position rationally.

You see the same thing, and you have to ask someone else if that was okay or not? You go to a list someone gave you, and if it says it's OK, then you have no problem with it? You don't care about whether or not the act is simply harmful?

Here's the real difficult question: God turns up and tells you to kill your family. Would you do it?

PS: One more.

I'm raising a child. Let's say we agree hitting another child for no reason is wrong.

I say, "How would you feel if another child hit you, would you like that? It will make them sad. You know what it's like to be sad. If we don't hit each other, we'll all be happy."

I can answer any questions from this basis, based on reality.

You say, "God doesn't want you hitting other children."

The child says, "Who is God? Where is God? Why do you care what God thinks? Is that the only reason not to hit someone?"
