In this antecdotal evidence you submit (which does not hold weight in a philisophical or scientific realm), was the woman being treated by a physician? Was she in a hospital?
Furthermore, the relativity to prayer does not prove anything. If I turn on a light switch and then chronic pain in my back disappears, it would be foolish to praise the light switch.
Yes, it WOULD have to be every instance of evil, according to your own definition of what evil is. God would have to completely remove all ability to choose incorrectly, since evil is the result of "action or inaction" by human beings.
Call me a troll if it makes you feel better.
Furthermore, statement 2 is flawed as well. There is no correlation between taking away the choices that are divided by free will and removing suffering, your hell not withstanding.
Therefore the sort of karma-like suffering that you speak of bears no real weight within your religion. Only one's action, and possibly thoughts, count.
Basically, allowing suffering past consequences of an action is an unecessary thing and anyone who conciously allows unecessary suffering that they could prevent would be inherently evil by the standards of your religion.
Since you yourself arrived at your concept of morality, then it is individually subjective, and of course it then it is an admission of personal preference. And you have no right to tell ME anything is wrong without qualifying it by saying, "in my opinion."
"We all know?" Who's that, exactly?
Athiests believe that the systems of morals that govern the ethical behavior of a society are a survival instinct.
The reasoning behind this is simple, morals and ethics are developed by the species, not just humans, that serve the purpose of making the rate of survival greater. So this is subjective on a global scale but it is not subjective on a personal scale.
A.) If there is a universal moral code, please explain the evolution of christian morals throughout time. If you need clarification on this with specific example, then please let me know.
B.) Please explain why there are other creatures that actions are inherently dictated by such pillars as "thou shall not kill".
