I assume you consider these "rights and wrongs" are objective. Can you provide us a list of these rights and wrongs provided by your God?

Of course they're objective. Why wouldn't they be?

I've asked the question before on another thread -- Is it ever morally "Good" to torture babies purely for personal pleasure? The answer, of course, is no. It's written on our hearts. It is a moral absolute.

But because the god of the bible told Moses to go out and kill all the men and women child of a neighboring tribe but keep the virgins for themselves that's okay?

Especially when you consider that Moses group was invading the others homeland.

I wonder what the moral lesson in this is?

But your belief in your God comes from the writings of that wandering, ignorant, desert tribe does it not?

That was God's judgment on that society. That is different. Now, can you answer the question?

Honestly....do you WANT to have a nice discussion, or are you just trying to be rude and obnoxious? Every time we make a point to you, you counter with a variation of telling us that we're stupid.

It's certainly possible that some people might call that kind of behavior "trolling". I'm not suggesting it...but some might.
