So does the morally righteous God create or conform to states of pure morality?
>>
He is those things.

The reason there is good in the world is because all of those benevolent thoughts and actions are a reflection of God.

We were made in His image, so we share a little glimpse into what He is like.

As for sin and evil, that's what separation from God is like.

When we compare subjective morals between nations/states/people, we are infact comparing them to an objective moral standard, which is what we could call God's standard or absolute good/law.

C.S. Lewis goes more in detail about this in his book "Mere Christianity".

This. if there was no God, we would be nothing but savage animals seeking to fulfill our chemical urges. there would be no such thing as "good" or "wrong", everthing becomes relative and lawless

God is immoral.

Following God's morality without exercising your own is amoral, because you choose to follow a moral standard without exercising your own morality.

>Implying were not animals
Moral standards stem from a sense of our collective tribe, and are based on what benefits the group, rather than just the individual.

Sin and evil stem from people acting in their interest instead of the groups, or from a lack of empathy.

You're literally sucking Satan's balls dry, that's how much skull-fucked you've been.

>>563417
That's not even a proper sentence, anon. You're accusing someone of being a materialist? You're a hypocrite then? Because you obviously care about the material world; you're on the internet.

No, you kill yourself. Paradise awaits you friend. Why exactly are you still here if that's truly what you believe?

>despite UFOs and ghosts proving you wrong
Proving me wrong by not existing?
>despite quantum physics proving you wrong
Please, enlighten me as to how quantum mechanics proves there's more to the world than material. I'm sure you're very well versed in it's framework.
>despite the Holy Bible proving you wrong
>M-muh holy book
