Lol you don't even considered it objectively wrong to kill the innocent. As I told u b4 God has the authority and right to take life.



Lol U are not omniscient, ur knowledge is limited, u not even sure if the nazi's did anything wrong, ur last comment regarding them implied u don't think they did wrong because they didn't think they were doing anything wrong.



Yep



Nope, man's not the creator and sustainer of another humans life and existence.

So let's assume the nazi's God commanded them. . So that ends it

A God that can't even fight mortals is who u worship

Israelis just use the imaginary God as an excuse

If i tell u GOD asked me to kill u how will u react??

Your second argument fails...the existence of good and evil doesn't imply an absolute moral law...you are taking a quantum leap from subjectivity into objectivity.

Good and evil doesnt exist outside the realm of humans, we are what give those words meaning because by definition, it is purely subjective on the human experience. So extrapolating that there is an objective law that determines this is like saying there is an objective way of experiencing Red, that is highly flawed.

In other words, anarchy is a welcome development based on your argument.

Again, why do people use the word 'wicked' in describing the extremist sect, boko haram, when all the murders they have committed is 'good' according to their subjective definition if the word?

Even if you don't agree with their definition, do you think they are right to act the way they do given the fact that morality does not have an objective scope of interpretation or definition?

U shouldn't have mentioned bokoharam, to them they are fulfilling the basic reason the exits.. Kill the non believers of God, what could be better??
I laugh when Christians conderm bokoharam but praise joshua for killing innocent people to fulfil the promise of God

What prove do u have that there is a God

Morality is a product of perception and which in turn is a product of what u have experienced, being told that's what build ur perception and which builds ur morals

There is just a basic law, fo what u wish and are comfortable with as far as it affects no one .. That's it

No one.. We are all humans and are all equal, so in other to maintain peace an order was put in place.. That's just what brought about rights... The society now dictates what the majority is comfortable with its not about God or no no God.

There are many things God allowed that are morally bad now

The only proof I'll give for now is the fact that there is good and evil. God is good, all the time. wink The onus is on you to prove that there is no good or evil.

Who put an order in place, the society? Which society is to say what the moral code should be? A racist society will believe that it is their right to be racists, other societies believe that it is ok to murder unborn babies, Islamic terrorists believe that it is moral to kill people of other religions or to ethnically cleanse a population, so which society should dictate what is comfortable to all of us? Who is to say which position is to be followed?

If you want to know what the Moral Law is look at the decalogue. (The 10 commandments). Tell me which one of them is morally bad in this day and age. undecided

We have the United nations that set standards for nations to abide by

God ordered Saul to kill a tribe is that morally right?
Choosing to love iseral over his brother is that morally right?

Asking Israelis to occupy a land thata not there own is that morally right?

Ordering killing of stubborn kids is that morally right?

Punishing man for hia fualt is that morally right?? Bro see there is nothing right or wrong is just perception

The Uncreated Creator who Created life and land is the Only One who has the right to dispose or bequeath it to whomever He pleases. He is the Only One we are all accountable to and that is why we have to meet His standards or else... shocked

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right." (Ephesians 6:1).

The verse above is an expansion of the 5th commandment. You should only obey your parents as long as they are not breaking the Moral Law.

mrvitalis:

You shall not commit murder, this goes beyond the physical shedding of blood. The Bible says the moment you hate your brother you have committed murder in your heart. Can the UN legislate against that?

The moment you visit the link I suggested above and test yourselve whether you are a good person according to God's standard then you may come back to tell me how this is too weak. cool

Committing murder is evil regardless of culture, society, colour, age, creed or sex. Are you saying that anyone has the right to murder you because they feel it is good?

Read my post well, i never said people should do what they like, I said good and evil is a subjective experience based on HUMAN BEINGS. So a law existing out of the collective subjective experience of humans wont be possible and would be frankly flawed.
