And again based on reason and science atheists can have morals
You can have a standard that doesn't change
but unless that thing undoubtedly defines good and evil it can not possibly be seen as an objective moral standard
God is an objective moral standard because He is unchanging and the definition of goodness
And where do God's morals come from
His natural attributes
Because he commands it?
no because He is it
His nature is what is good and seeing as God is immutable this means His morality is objective
And you have to listen to It
You don't *have* to
He gives you the option to ignore Him
So what happens if you ignore him
You get punished
Indeed
So you have to follow or else you'll get punished
That makes his moral's arbitrary
Because they're arbitrary it would mean God's morals are subjective
That isn't true at all
How so?
I'm not saying good and evil do not exist
I'm saying that based off your logic god's morals would be subjective
And I am saying you are wrong because your argument doesn't make sense
How does it not make sense?
Morality is not a decision made by God it is based on how His nature
so it can not be arbitrary because it is His natural attributes that morality is based on
According to what religion
Christianity
So you mean that you get your morals from the Bible
We get our morals from God and that morality is communicated through the bible
the morality exists with or without the bible
But in general you get them from the Bible
no
We get them from God
who communicated them through the bible
You read it in the Bible and assume it is true so you get them from the Bible
I don't assume it is
I have a lot of reasons to believe it is
The Bible is subjective because the morals communicated through the Bible change constantly and contradict in the Bible
For example the "thou shalt not kill"
