Why does science always upstage God?

[pocaracas]

Yay!! You finally got the quotes right!!

I’m trying! Hahaha

I can accept that morality is societal if you can fully commit to your worldview.

For instance, if you can say that slavery in America was moral at the time. I get that society changed, but as long as you can admit that at that time slavery was the moral good because society said it was. Obviously, once times changed, slavery became immoral.

If you can say that stoning homosexuals in Israel 3500 years ago in the OT was moral.

If you can say Aztecs cutting the hearts out of sacrifices to the sun god was moral.

If you can say that in Canaan 3500 years ago burning children alive as a sacrifice to Moloch was moral.

If you can say young boys in the Sambia tribe being required to suck off old men until the young boys reach puberty is moral.

If you can say Hindu cannibals stealing dead bodies to eat the flesh is moral.

If you can say rounding up and torturing Uyghur Muslims is China is moral.

If you can say that criminalizing homosexuality in the past in America was moral.

If you can commit and say that all of these types of things were moral goods at the time they happened because society said they are good I’ll at least believe that you believe what you’re saying. I’m not saying you have to want to do those things. I’m just saying you have to say those things are moral goods for those people. I just need you to become the monster you’re trying to stop with your societal moral system.

As I did not live in any of those societies, nor do I know enough about them, I cannot judge them the way you want me to.

My judgement would arise from me applying my societal morality to those instances and finding them, as you do, monstrous.


How would you like to add to your list some of the things that, I guess, according to you, as follower of the whole bible, should be moral?

Colossians 4:1 ESV
Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Ephesians 6:5 ESV
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ,
