Where Does Moral Authority Come From If Not From God?

[Theland]

There can be no objective moral authority without God.
Without God, what passes for morality becomes purely subjective and chaotic.
How does an atheist identify what is moral authority?

[Khandro]

n. //Proportionately, Muslims are by far the largest group in our prisons,//
That's a fair point, but ............ I don't want to go down that road.

[naomi24]

Khandro, I'm sure you don't.

Keyplus, look for books on secular morality or humanism. Plenty reading matter out there.

[Theland]

No copy and paste. All my own work. If you want answers research them yourself. YouTube is a great starting point. End times prophecies. Or can't you be bothered?
Oh yes, the abuse and mockery is also prophesied. God gives such people over to the deception they have embraced, so that it
Becomes almost impossible for them to acknowledge Him.

[Theland]

Now have a good chuckle and then go and take a selfie.

[Old_Geezer]

When one has looked and believe that the sky is blue, there's no reason to go through the hassle to research someone else's view simply because someone insists it's tartan with the occassional green triangle. It's up to those claiming the unusual and wishing to convince others of it, to do the research and argue their case.

Are you David Icke in disguise?

Youtube. A great conveyor of truth.





How many times do you feel the need to tell atheists or agnostics how wrong they are Theland?

[naomi24]

Theland, if the world ends we'll all be dead. If it doesn't we won't. No point worrying about it.

[dunnitall]

What would happen if no one answered this mad person's posts....surely it might go away? This poster and it's ilk feed off of all the attention they get...isn't it always better to ignore attention seekers...?

Khandro, here's another road you might not want to go down.

Indeed, It is always perilous to make a categorical statement, someone will not rest until until they prove you wrong by finding an exception.

[HansUrbancka]

A good point has been raised by dunnitall and one Not to be ignored.

My view is that it does seem pointless any of us trying to have intelligent discussion with Theland, as he never appears to answer any questions. Consequently, as he has now said @06.03 ......"If you want answers research them yourself" .....perhaps the time has come to completely ignore him.

Hans.

[Theland]

Yes please ignore me, and leave it to those who wish not to. Simple innit?
So to those who are still interested in my opinion, and do not wish to tut tut together, I simply say that it is my belief that God is real and the Bible is His message to us. Also that the Bible is an amazing book where the pieces fit together so accurately. The prophecies are breathtaking.

[Theland]

In Ezekial ch 4 a prophecy punishes the Jews for a fixed period. That period ended in 1948 with the birth of the state of Israel. How accurate is that?

[vulcan42]

" someone will not rest until until they prove you wrong by finding an exception."
Would you prefer people to believe your false statement?

[Mamyalynne]

One's morality comes from within yourself, either as a result of a good start or in spite of a bad one.

Be the best person you can be - I see no need to convince or convert others.

[Theland]

Yes subjective morality. What feels right to YOU. And if somebody else feels differently?

[mibn2cweus]

1948 . . . so what was the big rush?

[Theland]

Oh Mibs. That was not worthy of you.

[jackthehat]

Once again, your claims of 'many prophecies fulfilled' boils down to a singularity - the creation of the State of Israel.

Rather than invite me to go and seek the others for myself why don't you, for once, actually give us actual instances of the others?

How do you account for good 'moral' behaviour in societies who do not recognise your God?
