Lets be honest about religion

The answer is simple: logically EVERY RATIONAL HUMAN BEING THAT EVER LIVED should look for a natural answer BEFORE looking for a supernatural answer. Science now has an answer as to how the universe began. Is this answer 100%? No, of course not. But nonetheless it is a viable answer and I will choose to accept an answer based purely on the laws of science and quantum mechanics before I make the leap to magic and wand waving.

Science

There is a place for science and a place for religion in everyones life.

Science should NEVER try and answer certain questions about life, namely, science cannot tell me how i should live my life from a moral stand point.

It doesn't always work because religion is missing in one's life. If one followed and obeyed the Ten Commandments one would live a morally sound life and so religion is essential in one's life as a guide to righteous living.

We all have free will to choose to do right or wrong, if everyone inherited a characteristic to do just right or wrong for that matter then it would appear as though we are like puppets on a string but we are not puppets on a string because we control ourselves and our actions and are not being controlled by another.

Nobody is absolutely 100% righteous because we are all sinners and at one time or another we have all sinned. The only living human that was without sin was our Lord Savior Jesus Christ.

Ok then, lets live by your world for a moment. if i go and rape a little girl, who are YOU to tell me what i did was wrong? Cause society tells you? Who is society? Why is your societies opinion anymore valid than my societies opinion? Who is the judge on that? the Government? Last time i checked governments were going around killing people in Iraq for oil. If they can kill innocent lives for oil, why cant i rape an innocent little girl?

I will be waiting for your answer anxiously.

Have a good think about it.

Yeah sure, if i say rape is right and he says rape is wrong, is no different whatsoever to me saying Kobe is a better basketball player than lebron.....Just one opinion against another....Neither is right, neither is wrong.

As you say, there is no objective morals,

Remember, they are YOUR words, that morals are NOT objective. Therefore, by your definition and world view, there can be a scenario where murdering a little innocent girl is ok...Remember, that is YOUR view....If you say here isnt a case, then morals are objective.....

See the mess you got yourself into with your atheistic view...

No silly! it has been verified in the New Testament which is an historical, scriptured Holy Bible. Several disciples wrote their gospels in the holy scripture...amen brother!

Now are you going to dispute their gospels as lies? What would be their motivation for lying? Do you know that they themselves were also crucified for spreading the gospel? Now what would motivate these disciples knowing that their lives were in danger for spreading the gospel? If it was a lie, who in their right mind would continue to spread the gospel? It's obvious why they did it, it's because they were spreading the truth and nothing but the truth so help me Lord!!

Just make sure you have a good think about that....REMEMBER, in your world, raping and murdering a little innocent 6 year old is NOT ABSOLUTELY WRONG.

You believe rape is wrong based on the rules and society we live in?....Don't you just know instinctively it is wrong regardless of the rules?

So if you lived in a society that said it was ok, you would believe rape is right and you yourself would probably be a rapist?

What if Hitlers reign truiphmed and we all lived under his regime? Would it be right then?
