If you claim atheism and reject ethics youre basically retarded

The first atheists taught them ffs

I'm not an atheist tho

however, God himself is the source of your morality

ethics is based on your morality

so tell me again how it doesn't have anything to do with religion?

Because you can explain it without ever mentioning relgion

then its a subjective thing

Religion uses ethics. Ethics doesnt use religion

and it has no authority to enforce it

Saying that ethics is based on personal view is a dangerous thing because it promotes Moral Relativism.

exactly, that's why its enshrined and protected by God

it becomes universal and objective truth

Ethical living is the pursuit of real goods by way of virtue

It applies to everyone and doesnt allow for moral relativism

u can attempt to explain it without religion but that will hold no meaning

But Human "good" is not God's version of good.

but what authority is there to enforce that if not God? the state?

It holds meaning just fine

the state becomes corrupt and is unwilling to further enforce it

The states job isnt to enforce it

This is beginning to tread into Humanism territory

who does?

The law is the minimum bar for ethical behavior

laws differ from culture to culture

and we're back to moral relativism

Sort of but not really

unless u think all cultures are equal

What is good in Man's mind changes and is usuitable to be a useful stance of morals/ethics

^

Ethical behavior over all is when you multiply the good while avpiding the bad as it applies to everyone

Its suppose to be farily black and whit unless you use utilitarianism

But we've been told by God that our "Good" is but mere filthy rags

Which allows for less unsavory things to be done in pursuit of a larger good

what is ur point exactly? there's no one to enforce it, there's no one to prevent unethical behavior and that man can justify it trough the moral relativism that he was good and his group is now better off

while commiting some bad

That if taught uniformly it doesnt allow for moral relativism

moral subjectivism is unavoidable if u reject God. By rejecting him you reject the objective truth

Virtue is one of the most revered words in all languages. It is associated with character, good judgment, and ethical decision making. Moral virtue can be defined as “the habit of right desire” or the disposition to make right choices.1

you're essentially advocating for another dogma

>that if taugh uniformly
