Why would you suggest that I do that? I don't dictate how people live.

Yet...you guys continue to flail and flail miserably when I try to ask the simplest of questions. You have no clue how to answer the simple question of "How do we define morality?"

Neither does your god. Christians have not cornered the market on morality.

Perhaps he thinks he is not a mere human being but something more.
I absolutely agree. I have no ability to declare anything or anyone to be "moral" based on my opinions alone.

Please explain how I have NOT answered your question, Vizio?

Prove you don't.

I've decided to employ the Vizio System of Posting. Make a claim and expect it to be believed. You never say, "In my opinion the Bible....." You make absolute statements and claim all sorts of things and expect everyone to accept what you say as God's truth. Literally! (The most wild being the statement you know how God thinks. That was an exciting day!)

It's quite freeing. And so easy to do! Just claim things as facts and expect the other guy to prove you're wrong. I'll enjoy using it. It should free up a lot of brain cells for other things.

I've answered that many times.

"If it harms you or someone else, don't do it."

You never ask me nor did I offer such a definition - this is just another diversion on your part. You made a point and I responded and asked you a question - you are the one who is flailing and fumbling.

I'll take this as you can't answer the question I posed to you because it obviously showed your fallacious argument.

Thanks for playing and loosing!

We are civilized humans, we have social mores that change over time. Your morals don't come from god, they come from men who wrote the Bible, claiming it it was god's word. You don't follow every word in the Bible, you pick and choose what works for you.

If your god asked you to sacrafice a virgin, would you do it? You realize you wouldn't be the first person god asked to commit murder, it is written in your Bible.
