Default Re: A problem with some religous views

[ QUOTE ]
You have two numbered as 1.

The first:

[ QUOTE ]

1. My moral sense tells me that a god that enforces the given statement is repugnant.


[/ QUOTE ]

is just a statement of your moral code.

The second number 1. :

[ QUOTE ]

If 1. is true then either my moral sense misleads me, god is not good, or any religon that subscribes to the view in the statement is mistaken.


[/ QUOTE ]

combines the premise of the first number 1 and implicitly adds the premises I stated.

Your logic is not necessarly wrong but it is stated in a confused way, which is why I tried to rearrange it.

Ignoring my attempt at formal logic, what I said in my other post still applies.

I'm also not sure what you mean when you say:

[ QUOTE ]

If 1. is true then either my moral sense misleads me


[/ QUOTE ]

Do you mean it is true that your moral sense tells you this or

Do you mean your moral sense is true and God would be immoral if He punished sinners?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think I see the confusion. All that is meant by the single premise being true is that it is true that I have the moral feeling not that the moral feeling is correct.

Does that make sense now?
