Completely true! Although, I believe we were
'dead' 'forever' before we were born, and not
just for 13 billion years. I also believe the
universe is a lot older then 13 billion years.

Because without objectivity it is self-refuting. And for someone who is proud of espousing logical reasoning that should be of much concern to you.

So Hitler was within his rights to murder millions of innocent people? If everyone's moral code is equally valid then so was his.

That is a different topic altogether. My original argument is that Christian morality does not change, so I just need to show internal consistency. I was not making the case for the Bible being the universal source of objective morality. The latter argument involves the authenticity of Christianity itself, which is a wide open topic. Don't think you really want to get into that. If you do then message me with a specific topic because I will need more space then this.

"Atheists say it comes from nature"
Isn't it funny how we can construct a natural theory via simple logical conjecture based on observable evidence?
We know that 'nature' exists.
You need to explain how you know this 'God' thing exists AND the mechanism it used to 'give' us a conscience.
"it comes from God" isn't a very informative theory.
"collapses upon inspection because it lacks objectivity, the theistic explanation doesn't."
Who said objectivity was a criterion? Not me.
"What is immoral will always be immoral. It does not change with the times."
Really INTJ22?
Well then tell god that he was wrong when he didn't denounce slavery for over 4000 years.

INTJ22,
only an insane country would warrant killing anyone over being over six feet tall, or wearing a yellow shirt, or working on the sabath.
right, b/c im sure after your holly texts have been re-authored, edited and re-translated over 1000's of years all of sudden the meaning of slavery just up and changes. no, it doesn't. killing = killing. genocide = genocide. rape = rape. gay sex = gay sex. slavery = slavery. you can't be objective with those things.
