not what some book tells you

Christian means you follow the religion that Jesus Christ created

the Bible being the holy text of said religion

if you don't believe that the bible is fallible then you believe that the faith is wrong

well thats a fundamentalist

>anyone who's consistent in their faith is a """Fundementalist"""

but fundamentalists believe their way is the only true way

which

ok protestant

basically describes you

you haven't read or even heard of basic stuff in the Bible

We interpret morality subjectively, hot take

ya

regardless of whether it is or not

if you get your morality from a higher being (i.e. God) then i disagree

well

you can’t believe in morality if you don’t believe in a higher power

you dont

yes you can

it’s impossible

Humans are blinded by their limited perception

So objective morality would be real

but we wouldnt operate as if it were

is what I'm getting at

if you don’t believe in a greater-than-human moral law then you must believe morality is dictated by man, in which case it is pointless to believe in morality

morality is dictated by man

society more specifically

@Cyboman Not true, animals have codes of conduct, albeit very primitive ones

if it is dictated by man or society then there is no such thing as being moral

why not

They dont have the capacity to think about them, obviously

For instance

morality need not come from some absolute power

it must

if one monkey in a group is hoarding food from the others

why

morals need only be believed

to be true

the others in the group punish him

a higher power isnt necessary
