It is obvious that if one believes in A God, Creator of the Univers, and everything in it, MOrality, and the rest of the world comes from God.
Why would then one, who calls himself/herself a believer would even ask the question? To what end or purpose?
What would you say if a polideist would say that morality doesn not come from ONe God, but was voted by a committee of Gods with a slight majority?
Or to a communist who would talk to you about "communist morality"?
And most of all, why do we have some many moralities anyhow?
Why do people see morality so different? It is obvious to me that throwing God into morality questions has only one purpose. To bring the Power of God to bear into imposing MY morality over yours.
It does seem to me that the most useful thing politicians have used God for justifying their own rules as "moral" and Godly.
If you want an intelligent thread, ask these questions:
Why do we have such different moralities around the world?
and most of all:
What is morality? What is moral, and what not?
If killing isn't moral, why do we regard soldiers as moral, and prostitus as immoral?
If one believes in Christ, why would one want to be rich?
If one believes in the old Testament, why would one not be circucised?
The list can go on.
But it is intellectually lazy and profitable to say:
My morals come from God, therefore I am better than you, you should do as I say, I am a special, priviledged person.
Bush Sr. sure made the statement. Your question seems to support it.
