Four questions for Christians

[Consilius]

If God was responsible for everyone's sense of morality, as I allegedly claimed, not only would humanity be an ant farm under mind control, but we would be exempt from all penalties desribed in law, and in the law of God himself. "God made me do it" would be a valid statement.
What I simply said was that we all have a basic sense of what is good and bad because of evolution. Religion is an official statement of what we consider right and wrong in respect to a god. Morals are laid out by God in religion, and similar ones are laid out by society. Morals exist because of people, and your sense of what is right and wrong comes from your society, which is a reflection of millenia of religion, environment, and pure circumstance. For example, desert peoples like the Israelites valued hospitality to strangers more than we do today.
And, sorry, I wasn't there when the Pope incited the Crusaders, or the Spanish conquered Mexico. I did not suggest it, I did not carry it out, and I did not support it. Neither did God. I never knew a single one of the people who did these things. Don't pin me down to their actions, and I will not blame you for Dawkins' advice to ignite religious persecution:
