No Absolute Morality WITH God Either

"Its deja vu again"

Huh? I was replying to Not Ready.

Just because you dislike the outcome of a position -- might makes right -- it doesn't mean it is not the nature of reality. Might does make right, though in human affairs it can get quite complicated.

I never said it isn't true because I don't like it. I try to point out that if might makes right is correct it's absurd to talk about morality. I'm just trying to show those who are immersed in relativity what are the consequences of their position. Hitler wasn't wrong, he just lost.

I talked about possibly disgreeing god was good even if he existed. You accused me of being silly because you would have to obey god .... Then you did the same thing and someone misunderstood you in the same way.

Struck enough of a chord to dig out the old thread. Finding one of my best jokes was a bonus.

Put another way, I say that what is "just" is a matter of opinion. You seem to sort of agree with that


[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know how you can think I've ever even hinted I agree with that. As I've said before, God's "opinion" is produced by His character - He isn't arbitrary, His character is holy, righteous and good - and therefore so is His opinion.

To say otherwise, to put a standard above God by which we judge God, is to deny the possibility of God. Something has to be highest, absolute - I belive it's God. Anything else denies God.

Your stance that God is the source of absolute morality is, by definition, nothing but might makes right.


[/ QUOTE ]

No it isn't.

God's might makes right, not humans.

Been saying it since my first post on morality. Don't know why we have to keep going over it.

THEN THEY HAVE NOT HEARD THE VOICE OF THE TRUE GOD!!!
