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
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
why bother replacing religion then
