"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

That's how lefties work. They claim what they believe is how everyone else should view it.
Micawber is a prime example. He claims to be more fit physically and intellectually that others on the forum yet when asked to prove his specific claims, he uses the "because I said so" argument then gets his panties in a wad when people don't agree.

Clearly your inability to comprehend simple definitions in the language prevent you from any further mental processing or being an honest observer. All you've "got" is a printed example of your lame attempts to foist definitions that does not relate to the OP or my attempts at rational discussion with you.

First of all...I consider that to be nonsense.
I do not need a god to tell me what is moral. If I live in society, the society can dictate what its members will or will not tolerate. The dictates of a god is superfluous.
Second...I have no idea if you answered my question with a "yes" or a "no."
God doesn't talk to anyone. The Church does. Do you believe that mortality is inherent, or is it learned?
That is historically inane and absurd. The Roman society thought feeding Christians to the lions was tolerable. Were they right? The Egyptians thought enslaving people was tolerable. Were they right?
My answer was obvious. Read it again.

You do not even know if there IS a god...let alone what the god does or does not do. What you call "the Church" does speak about what it considers the desires of the god...what pleases and what offends it.
I appreciate "the Church's" guesses about all that...but I do not consider it definitive.
Are you really asking about "mortality" or are you actually asking about "morality."
As far as I am concerned, morality is what any society says it is. That having been said, I consider some societies to be pieces of shit...and the "morality" they allow to be suspect, at best.
Yeah, they were right for them.That is historically inane and absurd. The Roman society thought feeding Christians to the lions was tolerable. Were they right? The Egyptians thought enslaving people was tolerable. Were they right?
The Americans of the American south less than two hundred years ago claimed the god of Christianity gave them leave to buy and sell black humans as slaves. They cited passages from the Bible to fortify their claim.
Were they right?
They may or may not have been...but we humans are the judges of morality. WE set the "you may not do that or you will be punished" rules that form the morality.
It would have been a hell of a lot more "obvious" if you had written "yes" or "no."My answer was obvious. Read it again.
