so because people deny whats been in place from creation that means morality isnt real wow...morality
mə-răl′ĭ-tē, mô-
noun
The quality of being in accord with standards of right or good conduct.
A system or collection of ideas of right and wrong conduct.
Virtuous conduct.
The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

You can claim all you like that there was " creation" as per Bible,
and that something has been in place ever since.
That gets you to the same place you will get to find morea
of the gold books of Mormon. Nowhere.

There is no evidence whatever that any of it is so,
except in a book.

Much of what is in the book is demonstrably untrue.

So, no. Fail.

 

[Astrid]

weird others can understand

For clarity is good to use standard English, if you are capable of it.
It also shows some respect for your audience.

Leaving out the comma after " weird" , btw, means that
the onesw ho understand you are weird.
Perhaps that's what you intended : D

"morality is subjective" ≠ "morality isn't real"

if morality is subjective how is truth not subjective? for TRUTH determines if somthing is acctually moral...ie one could make the cause utopianism could be achived if [blank] how do you know if what its saying to do would be immorial...for if morality is subjective THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS....if its a "good" cause....

most villians are NOT the villian in their own mind

"truth" ≠ "morality". These are not synonyms.

That's exactly right, because ... wait for it ... morality is subjective.

or wait for it they are wrong...because morality states their actions make them a villian ...

No. They're wrong because the rest of society says they are wrong.

So you change the subject from what I said with what you
think is a gotcha.
Fail.

Better put in a dictionary quote for the literacy- challenged among us

Always trying to deflect. Not something
honest people favour.

Morality can speak. Droll.

I've been beaten and raped.
I didn't need a code of morality from god to
notice there was something wrong with it.

No doubt he thought the whole thing was just right.

my question to you makes senses...you dont understand because you dont study thus i asked if you even study...when it was well apparent you dont did i not ask if you would like me to explain in more secular way...however at the end of day are you not on CHRISTIAN forms? so my apolagizes for a non secular first approch ....

It was an aggressively rude question. It may very well make senses to you, but it shows no understanding of what I was getting at; none. You continue to not show any understanding and, even more, no interest in understanding.

I have been on CF nearly 15 years longer than you have, so save that lecture for someone who might be impressed by your telling them where they're posting.

i dont understand being so hostile you get irritated by these things....i dont get irritated at followers of quran or Jews or any other preaching to me...i just try to understand one another and find the truth ... so
semiotics

I haven't been hostile to you, but I prefer being talked to rather than preached at. You asked if I would prefer a 'more secular' explanation, but bristle when I tell you "yes" and why.

You didn't quite get what I was meaning, I'll try and explain it with a question. Could you please prove that 1+1=2?
The reason that 1+1=2 is because of the logical system of mathematics, which you can't prove is true due to it being intangible. It exists only within the mind, similar to how you would view morality (which is why I said your line of reasoning works against itself).

If I have one thing and then I add another one thing, I end up with two things.

And I believe that in "Principles of Mathematics", Russel and Whitehead proved that 1+1=2.

Yes it would be subjective for God but God created all of existence, all of the knowable universe and all that we could possibly know. He Himself is self existent, The Creator without a beginning or end, eternal. This being the case means that everything material traces back to Him as the source of all existence, including morality. If God created everything so that murder is wrong, then it's wrong because He determines what is and why it is. So it would still be authoritative for us as we are His creation.

Irrelevant.

If I create a computer program, do I get to objectively decide what is moral within that program?

But if someone who didn't have empathy for the same things you did murdered and stole they would still be as correct morally as you are due to you both sharing the exact same reason for your morals being 'right', that being evolution. For example you cannot say that Rome as a nation which had a policy of crucifying people were wrong, only different. Only that you disagree (due to arbitrary preference). If that is your position then that's ok and I suppose I'd commend you on your consistency. If it's not then anything else would be to assume a moral truth (which would make it universal).

I'll link a couple of posts that explain where I'm coming from a bit better. Don't feel like you have to read it or continue responding if you don't feel like it. I like discussing this stuff so I could go for hours but I know it can get tedious for most people and I don't want you to feel obliged or like you've "lost" if you don't answer. There's nothing to lose as I view it as a discussion rather than a debate. We're going to disagree fundamentally on morality because I believe morals can be true due to the nature of truth, whereas your worldview doesn't allow for moral truth (which allows atrocities to perpetuate because you cannot say they are wrong, only that you disagree based upon personal preference). But one thing I've found is that Atheists rarely have to defend the coherence and implications of their moral stances because most people aren't equipped to go on the attack. Epistemology related things can be hard and super convoluted.

I'm not quite sure the hyperlink format on this forum yet as I'm still new and working stuff out so they will be long links but they are to a single post:

The last three are more pertinent to the discussion than the first as I've already established it. God bless .

Yes, I believe my "don't mug people" morality is correct, and the mugger believes their "it's okay to mug people" view is correct. But I'm sure the mugger would quickly change his tune if he was the victim of the mugging.
