Good Evening. I am Zed Aliz Zed
And this shall be a briefing on Morality. and issues with different kinds of it.
What is Morality?
The basic creed of every civilization and fundamentally the basis of "Good" and "Evil" the idea itself is probably as old as Humanity is. as even without written language, there is always an unspoken code.
or for definition
ob·jec·tive
əbˈjektiv/
adjective
And the second stance the one I will be arguing for.
sub·jec·tive
səbˈjektiv/
adjective
adjective:
simply because it can be taken apart simply by saying "well if Lucifer was even more powerful would you follow his creed?" most Christians would say no. but then they admit that morality cant is objective as if it comes from a higher power. then it changes depending on who holds power.
a secondary argument is God in the bible has a personality. a goal of some sorts and a large portion of what he commands us to do helps him not us. so it could be argued his morality itself is subjective and he simply pushes it objectively on us. that would also explain how it changes throughout the Bible
once wearing mixed fabric was a sin. see Leviticus for detail around the homosexuality. (which if you are going to quote don't lay with a man I best hope that shirt and pants are all cotton or of the same fabric or your a hypocrite)
but seeing as how no one seems to follow the mixed fabric rule and many argue Leviticus does not apply any longer thanks to Jesus you can see a change of law and morality.
Law itself is mostly reflected upon Morality but depends on whose in power. so really the bible does not deal in morality but in law. as the law does not claim to always reflect morality, after all, there are many law's here in the US which are seemingly [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] and helps no one and yet exist for some odd reason.
Laws also directly change year to year and sometimes in opposition to the generally held morality of the time. which makes sense as if Law is reflected on morality than it goes on the morality of whoever decides the Law.
Morality varies person to person even within those of the same faith and sect.
Where does that Leave Good and Evil?
That's just it. I don't think there is any such thing as Good or Evil. while there is Illegal and Legal there is no real Good or Evil. such things require consistency and Objectivity. but if the bible changes and the general message changes and both are from the same being that he himself is not solid but liquid. and changes as well. as does every Animal we all change over time. in one way or another.
so you yourself, if you are Christian, can argue that let us use Homosexuality as an example. you can argue it against the biblical law but you can't exactly argue it immoral. especially when even within the Christian faith it is becoming more accepted and overtime if the religion still exists in the coming century will probably be treated like that mixed fabric rule. and completely ignored.
I Myself am Deist and see the only morality there is, is the law of nature. which is unbreakable. so there is no point trying to follow it. as you already do.
everything else is man-made. morality itself a construction of thought. a needed tool and one we can not exist currently without but one that should not be considered in stone. as everything changes. Law. People. Time. and so we should welcome such change and keep tweaking our codes and creeds until we find the perfect set if possible.
If you have read this far without storming off I applaud you and would love to hear your thoughts or arguments on the mater. though I probably have heard them all and countered them all at one point.
Good Night.
