>>78034928
God created the existence we have. He gave us free-will. You believe your own judgements on right and wrong are superior to what has been told by God through the Holy Scriptures and long before. If you don't hold yourself accountable to a higher being that has superior morality to your own, then you have no basis for morality apart from human judgement which is flawed, very flawed.

Morality comes from the ability to empathize. Religion has no monopoly on empathy. Some would say it has even less of agrasp on it than the secular world. [spoiler]And they'd be right.[/spoiler]
>>
>>78035364
Because it's an ancient myth and you could have adhered to literally any ancient person or mythologies moral code and it would make just as little sense. You also cherrypick rules to follow, probably hate gays but don't adhere to the other arbitrary rules.
>>
>>78035376
>Human judgment which is very, very flawed
Human judgment which is responsible for the oral tradition that carried the stories of the Bible for hundreds of years before it was finally written down by human judgment, translated by human judgment, organized by human judgment, cherry-picked by human judgment, and interpreted by human judgment.

All those flawed humans and you obey the product of their judgment without question.

Yet Christians cherrypick passages to follow and also are human so they falter on the morals they adhere to.

Strict rules about stupid shit doesn't mean it is "morality defined." There is nothing moral about not eating pork, nor nothing moral in shutting a menstruating women up in her house until she is "clean" again.

You're confusing blind adherence to relics with morality. They are not the same.

As arbitrary as atheist morality, at least in every religion that doesn't take their book literally and discards the bits that they don't like.
The religions that don't discard stuff are known for bombing buildings etc.

They were guided by God's hand to create and pass on tradition. I'm not saying the Holy Catholic Church is perfect in the beings that reside and partake in the traditions, but the formation, continuation, and propagation of the teachings of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior has kept on over 2,000 years. I think I have some validity in believing in a power that has kept my religion intact over this long period of time.

I follow the Noahide code, God's moral code given to gentiles at MT. Sinai.

Do not deny God
Do not blaspheme God
Do not murder
Do not steal
Do not engage in illicit sexual intercourse
Do not eat of a live animal
Establish courts for the administration of justice

Best moral system I've come across, and allows for tailoring to the individual culture, while preserving rule of law, traditional family, religious freedom, and legitimate objectivity

Do I have to explain the universality of Jesus Christ and God? Do I have to explain the Hindu god's have always been related to the areas of India and Nepal?

Do I have to quote wikipedia: "Hinduism does not have a "unified system of belief encoded in a declaration of faith or a creed" While Catholicism does which emphasizes God's work, love, and salvation for this world?

Come on man.

If you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, you are a good Christian and that shit really doesn't matter.

Objective morality can't have an arbiter, or it's not objective. Thus all divine command theories are relative and arbitrary.

If you think morality can't be arbitrary, then god's bitch list isn't morality. It's just him making you his bitch.

If you think morality can be arbitrary, then you have a modal problem. Which translates into for any given set of morals X, X is not necessarily moral.

Either way, god's fake and your bitch list just makes you a bitch and not moral.
>>
>>78037970

There ya go, there's some ultimate reality/God/oneness which gives force to any objective ethical code. that's what I like about the Noahide laws, is that the first law is merely to not deny God, not to adhere to any particular conception. Even an agnostic would be welcome to live by these laws.
