Moral Truth: How Do You Determine Right & Wrong?

[RobotzAreAwesome]

I just read the Bible and take an opposite type approach to its commands. If it tells me I can own and beat slaves, I choose to abstain from slavery. If it tells me I should stone my kids for talking back, I choose to make them pulls rocks out of my garden. If it tells me polygamy is ok, I choose monogamy. Etc, etc....

So far its worked pretty well =)

So you kill people, rape your neighbors wife, eat meat after it's gone bad, steal stuff, and commit adultery while never supporting your community?

Not a christian but it seems kind of dickish to not listen to the good stuff .

[RobotzAreAwesome]

@ChrisGnosis Actually, all that "good stuff" can be found anywhere. Seems kind of dickish to assume such nonsense.

@RobotzAreAwesome

Not saying that it can't be found anywhere else but there are also other old texts saying you can have slaves, stone disrespectful children, and take more than one wife. I can give examples if you like. The Code of Hammurabi and The Book of Mormon are just a few.

The point is, discrediting an entire religion based on outdated social laws held 2000 years ago is stupid. The actual teachings of Jesus (not Moses) were peaceful. Once again not a christian, also not anti-christian.

@ChrisGnosis stupid? You do realize, the bible explicitly states, "God wrote the law". So no. Its not stupid to disregard their version of God. Those laws show his character.

Situational ethics are no ethics at all. The Word of God is the absolute truth on everything. Anything else is false.

My basis is The Word Of God!! If I base it on anything else, then it's faulty.
