OK, what is god's position? Surely he could just fix this problem for us. Does he want us to let people starve?
(If it's ok, and so we can move through one subject at a time, is it ok if I just try to understand what your position is exactly before delving into the God aspect?)
Ok. You answered yes. Now my question is why? Why is it moral to treat others the way they want to be treated? Why can't it be moral for me to treat them however I want, if it makes me feel good?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
