Why do some christians think that morals come from god?

[workmx]

Objective morals come from God.

How?
By what pathway?

 

[dpadre]

Follows of Christ get morals from Him. Those who don't believe get them where ever they want.

I doubt that.

Why do some christians claim that all people get morals from god, just that some choose to ignore it?

man this thread is still going on.

Yeah - I can't believe it.

Why can't christians accept that they cannot provide evidence for the assertion that morality comes from god?

Already given, anything in material word does not have morale, so morale can't be from material word. But you don't accept it.

I cannot accept, as you have not provided a rational explanation of how that would occur. Despite my attempts to asist you with it.

And I have given you evidence that the pillars of morality are present in other eusocial species, but you have ignored that posible explanation.

If any non-living things can't have moral, anything build with those can't have moral, then moral doesn't not exist in pure material word. Unless you can show me how you can build a machine with moral, we can't convince each other. So this thread is moot

I saw it, and I explained to you that living beings are likely host of spirits/souls that are not material. None has build a machine with moral, and none has even proposed a possible way to build such a machine.

You can discover objective moral truth two ways. The first way is from Gods word, the bible. God says don't murder and we know it is wrong to take a life without justification.

The second way is to discover them like we discover mathmatics. Sometimes objective moral truths are self-evedent. We don't invent objective morality, we discover it like we discover multiplcation tables.

I wish I was intelligent enough to participate in this conversation. Half the things on here is hard for me to understand.

Well that does not make any sense.

In what way would the characterictics of a inaminate object have an effect on the cahracteristics of a animate one???

Other mammals have empathy, help each other and have a sense of justuice (both distributive and procedural). As I have said before, my guess that in the future, we will discover that moraity is an evolutionary adaptation.

AND another gap where people try to sneak in god will be forever closed.

How would you measure that? What does a soul weigh?

On the machine issue: have you heard of the Turing test?
