Quote:That's God for you.Then I'm greater than him, morally and rationally. In this case you could be believing in the wrong god or...perhaps there are no gods.
Quote:So, if we have a sense of what is truly moral, but God does not, and we are contingent beings. Where then does moral consciousness come from? Looks like we've just pushed God back one more step in the chain.Our sense of morality comes from us. We're social animals and social animals by nature look out for each other. That's how they survive as a species. God is our invention, because unlike other animals on this planet, we have an imagination but sadly it can cloud our perception and does so in many.
Quote:It's God's universe. He can and does kill every living thing, ultimately. He's the God of life; He's the God of death. But then "God" would have to be, wouldn't he?If that's the case, wouldn't you prefer a universe where there is no evil all powerful god and that we are in charge and can decide our own destiny.
God is your creation, you can feel him if you want, hear him, make him angry or happy. Your imagination, your in control of it. But for you, I guess the first step will be the hardest.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
