I really don't belong here anymore. Sorry for making this thread and bothering everyone.

Sophrosyne; They didn't take him seriously so he sets them on fire... forever... would you do that to your child when he doesn't take you seriously, or do only perfectly righteous beings do that their kids? There's a good chance they thought he was crazy, like I would if you told me anything...

If your boss calls you and says "Come into work today or I will kill you, the choice is yours" what would you tell him? God actually killed these people. This isn't like driving off a bridge, it's like the repairmen hitting you in the head and pushing your car over the edge. and Noah would...

Alvis, Rape is bad for the same reason that Rotten Apples are bad. Rotten apples are bad because we don't like what they do to us, Rape is bad for the same reason but to an infinite greater extent, to such an extent that it could be called a divine decree. But we do call them bad and for good...

:) Cool.

I don't think we agree on what good and evil are, or that either of these things exist. Good and Evil are words that express how we feel about something, not substances or characteristics that can be accumulated. These words describe ourselves. I asked because most people have not...

Ah ok, well cool cool.

Why do you suppose that a God would be good?

You seem conflicted, you can message me if you like. :) I do understand these conflicts, though I eventually grew out of what I suspect your conflict to be.

Alvis It's similair to you making a rule in your house that if anyone steals candy you shoot them with your shotgun. Stealing candy is wrong. One day you find your child in candy jar and conclude that you have to shoot him and there is nothing you can ever possibly do to prevent it. You can't...

Sure we can consider that but Jesus owns hell, not Satan and Jesus puts people there, not Satan, Jesus made the rules, not Satan, Jesus saw the future and knew it would happen, not Satan, Jesus can do anything, n ot Satan. Jesus is trying to keep Satan from making himself kill people. "He made...

The problem I find with the "we cannot kill people because we are not perfect, we cannot kill people because we are not the creator of all" is that this implies that perfection, divinity, the source of life... can destroy and kill more than anything else. It implies that perfectly moral...

Aiki We seem to be in agreement that God is not subject to any moral system, he himself is the system. This is why I conclude that Christian is not a system that is concerned with determining or projecting morality, because fundamental parts of it are excluded from this these assessments. It...

Hey I try to follow the rules, send me a message and we can chat it up.

When we commit murder it is wrong, the wrong is not in that we are not the person's creator, it is that murdering a person, destroying their life is wrong.

Under what circumstances would you destroy the human race? Under what circumstances would it be just? What would I need do to you in order for you to drown me?

You aren't more skeptical than me, I doubt it. I just don't think the evidence discussion is valuable anymore. It's easier to go at it from the moral stand point, in my opinion. Things can seen as good or bad, easier than these biblical events can be seen as true or not. I can't determine...

I can rightly perceive your intent and your values. I am simply saying that a supposedly moral system that does not actually consider the morality of an action should not be called a moral system. The process of considering morality is clearly not most important.

Well yes it would become that, if he provides a moral system the morality of his actions should be abled to be considered, though they would always be found moral. But the morality of his actions simply are not considered and they cannot be considered and so I do not find Christianity to be a...

... alright :(
