Lol, no he gave people the free will to do what they want, even break His rules, i.e. killing another. Hes not going to stop them, simply becuase their mistakes will cause consequences to innocent others, thats something for them to consider before they shoot of a gun like morons. God (I...

Lol, like anything. Its not that He wanted the 4 year old to die, like just because He didn't stop it from happening means He killed the 4 year old. The dickhead with the gun did. He just didn't intervene with that guys free will to be a dickhead and mess around with a gun, and committing...

God loves everyone equally. He is just as likely (well I don't know this exactly, since I can't imagine what being in His position is trully like) to save a satanist from death as He would be to save the Pope. Obviously should He choose to intervene in this world to save someone (anyone...

...They had religion, it was just nothing like that fllowed by Western Civilisation however.

Rofl :haha: "I'm a Nigerian princess fleeing the civil war in my country, I need you to help me take my vast fortune of money" lol....

Wow good work! Esp History and English :)

Morality is the notion of right and wrong. Charity is right, slander is wrong etc. I believe in absolute morality. Most of the time, people act within the framework of that (for what I would maintain the wrong reasons, but w/e they're still doing good). They are not immoral because they do...

I think, a lot of the time people who kill others, think that they are in the right, and have "good" reasons, from their own perspective. From ours, it may look like they are definately in the wrong, but I really doubt that most murders are carried out by people without something to gain...

Ah k thanks, so although there is an infinite volume of where matter may BE, but there is only a finite section of that infinite volume where matter IS?

I think absolute morality exists, however society's, what could be thought of as "collective" or consensus morality changes. "Collective morality" changes with society's changing interpretation of absolute morality. Does that make sense? :S

Nonono what I meant was, athiests forcefully forcing their beliefs upon others (that is there is no God <-- thats a belief) has had just as bad consequences on humanity in history as has religious people forcing thier beliefs on people, then bringing up the exmaples of Stalin and Mao etc. I...

It was a satire :) I never expected anyone to take it seriously.

If morality exists to facilitate peaceful social interaction and co-operation (from an evolutionary perspective in the context of our "tribe" or w.e), how would that explain that societies morals change?

Um primarily the belief in that there is no God.

Can someone clarify this please?

Woops :uhoh:

Thats one of the major issues I have with the notion that morals can exist outside of a religious framework. If you don't have a God, telling you (at least initially) what is right and wrong, it all becomes a matter of opinion and because everyone has the fundamental right to act in regards to...

LOL HAHA I'm sorry for insulting your religion. Omgosh how pathetic. Please tell me you don't actually think of science and mathematics as anything greater than mere tools with with to carry out the human conditions insatiable curiosity regarding the world around us?

Lol, so in 200 years time, if everyone comes together and decides that rape is Aok and we have a vote, it becomes legislated for, and mroally acceptable? Just becuase it hurts someone is not a reason why it morally wrong. Advancing your own self interest at the expense of others (this is in a...

Lol, asserting that there is no God, requires faith in unto itself as there is not proof that God doesn't exist. In fact, it requires faith to even believe in what science can demonstrate. One must first have faith in the scientific method, the scientists themselves, and subsequently, faith...
