Because "God" is not self-evident. If you think he is, then I could argue that Lucky the Leprechaun is self-evident.
Quote:I'll fit it into your explination:
God - meaning creator of our enviornment - is self evident.
No, he's not. But please go on...
Quote:It is the basis to which morality applies.
Then all believers should have the same views when it comes to morality, shouldn't they? I mean, if this deity is the "basis to which morality applies", then what is considered moral should be crystal clear. Then explain to me why devout believers come down on both sides of many issues of morality. Capital punishment, abortion, gambling, consuming alcohol, homosexuality, etc.... Fervent believers argue about these issues! If "God" truly let us know what is and isn't moral, there would be no disagreements whatsoever!
Quote:You make distinctions in your life based on your perceptions of God.
No, I don't. "God" does not figure into any distictions I make.
Quote:It's a given that everything you percieve is from God since God created everything.
And here you try to slip in the unsupported claim that "God created everything". Show me some evidence of this.
Quote:The concept of God will be percieved as righteous if it conforms with your idea of how reality works.
This sentence means nothing.
Quote:God is self evident because it's used as a method for determining what is right and not right - I use God as a yardstick to measure and improve individual morality.
See above comment regarding "God" and morality.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
