But Oh! for the peoples of this world, because love, they do not want to add to they truth.

What can I say to you?

If you love this world then you love the falsity, because this world do not know the good.

So do not walk in joys of this world, but turn you eyes to God, so that you may get know the Truth for the salvation, because Lord Christ is the Truth, and through him we may saved, and inherit eternal life.

So leav this world manners behind and start to hate all the seduction of this world, because seduction is not from God, so refuse it, and start to do good. Go and sell all you extra goods what you do not need necessary, and share that to those who need it, and so you collect your self eternal treasure.

And the end. Remember to love other, to love everyone, because without love we are nothing.

Exhort from

Mikko Ainasoja

Lord Jesus Christ's and God's servant

Nope, there is a much simpler philosophy to follow, and it does not need any faith in any omnipotent, anthropomorphic but invisible entity.

If it feels good, do it.

If it harms others or yourself, don't.

And that covers about everything one needs to consider about being moral or living within a society.

In this areas where I live Christians who isolate themselves from the world and do not read the news and forbid any television or radio , and even reject the deliverance of Christ are called the Holy Rollers ......and there are demons called irregular demons who can come in and look down on the world and can posses these people when they walk through stores and through the world .....So to resisting the sin of the world is fine and called as long as Christians do not over step their bounds and reject loving their neighbor as themselves ...And the sexual seduction of people is to be resisted as it devalues people with demeanor which the Lord will oppose

Without God there can be no morality, no right and no wrong. So even your simplistic moral code lacks any authority and is therefore nothing but a facade.

The harm is the problem. Denial of God harms the self as well as others.

Denial of God results in the condemnation of hell upon the fool who puts God out of his mind so that he may do as he pleases. God is part of the equation of life and death. To deny Him is the greatest folly imaginable.

There is more to life than living and more to death than dying.

To deny God before others is to place them in danger as well, for much of what we know comes by way of word from others who have encountered and discovered things we might not know ourselves. It is better to profit from the wisdom of another man than to suffer the pains of foolishness by one's own actions.

and that's just me, hollering from the choir loft...

Your stating that without a god there can be no morality presumes that your statement does not need to be demonstrated.

Seeing there is no proof, only faith, that there is an omnipotent anthropomorphic entity, especially one who micro-manages each one of our affairs, your statement means nothing. It is a false attribution.

Great quote from Dawkins. I'm not sure how it is relevant to the proposition:
If it feels good, do it.

If it harms others or yourself, don't.
