Where Does God Get His Morals From?

[nailit]

Had a conversation recently with a ''born again'' type
(First conversation with a real life religionist in a while tbh....)

Thankfully only lasted a few minutes (felt like hours...but theres always one)
The usual subject of morals come from.
Atheists have no morals apparently. Or at least no OBJECTIVE morals without God.
I asked whose God?
Allah? Jehovah? Christ? Dionysius? etc.

I then asked where does God (In whatever way you view him/it/her) get THEIR morals from?
Conversation then petered out. (I was late for work anyway so no great loss)
I was in no way provoking an arguement, simply following through a logical discussion with a
question.

If humans need God's guidence to be moral, then where does God get his guidence from?

Whats with the repeated 'ha ha' childish comment?
Are you viewing a Punch and Judy show or something?

[nailit]

Oh God!
Troll alert....

No, jura's alright. Leave it alone. Answer with proper comments, not just rude remarks.

Actually, I think jura has been rather aggressive. A returning female I suspect.

The worst kind..

The Bible goes on to say in this fiftieth psalm: “You imagined that I would positively become like you. I am going to reprove you, and I will set things in order before your eyes. Understand this, please, you forgetters of God, that I may not tear you to pieces without there being any deliverer.”—Ps. 50:21, 22.
So one day your day will be up.

And yours, Goodlife.

Give 'em hell Jura!

[naomi24]

Jura, I've read the thread.

[naomi24]

Would any of the faithful who think God's morals are faultless like to have a go at answering my question?

What's good about tormenting people?

[sandyRoe]

There's an opinion among some of the religious that the travails and torments of this life temper the soul and prepare it for its eventual return to paradise.

[naomi24]

Jura, I'm not talking about punishment. See my post at 19:01 Wed where I mentioned Job and Abraham.

"Hail Holy Queen mother of mercy. Hail our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this valley of tears...

Jura, I didn’t realise you are religious - but it makes no sense to me to excuse God his obvious failings as you do.
