View Full Version : God Without Ethics

Ethics Without God or God Without Ethics
It's standard operating procedure for a Christian apologist to point out that all ethics and morals come from God. It is, so they claim, therefore impossible for the Atheist to be a moral person. Many Atheists counter this argument by pointing out that as a matter of fact they are ethical persons and that they know the difference between right and wrong.
"In fact," says the Atheist, "it is the Christian who admits that the difference between right and wrong is unclear; all the Christian knows is what is sin according to God and what is not sin."
The Atheist continues: "What a pity that the only reason you, a Christian, do not steal is because your god threatened you with horrible punishment if you do. I'm sorry you don't know that stealing is wrong. It causes innocent people to suffer and the inflicting of needless pain is the worst of all crimes."
But now there's a new reason to say it is impossible for morality to be based on this religious belief. I's so simple that some will wonder why something so obvious is not brought more often.
Let us imagine a particular person. And just for fun let's call her Madalyn. Now Madalyn has never had religion. By this Christian definition Madalyn is without morals of any kind. Along comes a missionary and tells Madalyn all about Yahveh and Jesus. He tells bible stories that illustrate what wonderful, upright examples they set for sinful mankind. He tells about the ten commandments and how all morals come from the deity.
Here is the quandary:
How is Madalyn, whom we agree has no morals, able to judge if this deity is a moral god? We might observe that one should not worship a god unless that god is worthy of worship. Surely, one would not love a god unless that god was worthy of love.
In other words, Madalyn must first make an independent judgment based upon Madalyn's own godless moral values, that God is worthy of love and worship. Until that independent value judgment is made, Madalyn's conversion to Christianity or any other religion is to use a very old expression putting the cart before the horse.
The next time you hear that tired old claim that you can't be moral without God, just ask, "Let's assume what you say is true. Since I have no knowledge of morality, how is it possible for me to understand what you are saying?"
Another approach you might prefer is to observe, "Since you just now pointed out to me that I can have no morals without God, what standards do you suggest I use to make up my own mind that your god is a good god and aught to be my god, too?"

Jerry Billings blunders in one way. According to him man can not set up a set of rules for himself to live by. Every single person person live by a set of rules because you have a concious...
Jerry Billings argument can work for people without a concious, but there are always exceptions to the rule...

Earth 300,000(or 70,000 depending on which part you read) years old according to Islam:
Modern scholars have criticized the bible for it's claim that the Earth was created in six days. This has been waved off as just another myth concocted by an ancient people to explain how the world was created. The Qur'an has made the same mistake regarding the amount of time needed to create the earth, as is seen in the following verse:
And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days, and naught of weariness touched Us. (Qur'an 50:38)
It is a known fact that Muhammad had contact with Jews and Christians, and much of the Qur'an is modeled after the Bible. While the Qur'an does not have the bible's claim that "on the seventh day God rested" (Genesis 2:2) it still proclaims the earth to be created in six days.
Muslims who seek to cast the Qur'an as being compatible with modern science, point out that the Qur'an also says that a day for Allah and the angels is similar to 50,000 years (Qur'an 70:4). In citing this verse, Muslims try to say the Earth was completed in 300,000 ( 6 x 50,000 ) years. While it is a nice try, the reality is this still does not agree with modern science, which states that it took several billion years for the Earth to reach this stage. Billions of years passed before there were trees, or forests, or animals.
Furthermore, such claims open the Qur'an to more criticism. The verse that allegedly says a day equals 50,000 years (Qur'an 70:4) states:
"The angels ascend to Him in a day, the measure of which is fifty thousand years." This verse actually seems to be discussing the speed of travel for angels. Possibly it is saying that the angels can travel in a day, the amount of space it would take others 50,000 years to cover. My goal is not to offer alternative interpretations to this myth. However, I dispute the claim that the this verse is saying a day equals 50,000 years because such a thing contradicts other parts of the Qur'an!
A day cannot equal 50,000 years because according to the Qur'an, a day equals 1,000 human years (Qur'an 22:47 & 32:5). Furthermore, to claim that it took Allah 300,000 years to create the Earth is to insult the God of Islam, as when he creates, he says "Be!" and it is (Qur'an 2:117).http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/denis_giron/islamsci.html
Modern geologists consider the age of the Earth to be around 4.567 billion yearshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_Earth

Okay, so all it says it was created in 6 days? Not that God created light before he created the suns which create the light? Or does it say he created Plants before he created the sun to drive the photosynthesis?

Jerry Billings does blunder in a big way. Christians know very well the difference between right and wrong and why we should not steal, murder, rape, assault. On the contrary it is the atheist who believes that we are nothing but animals implying that our actions are governed by our genes. We all have a God given conscience and the ability to choose right from wrong. God would not have punished Adam and Eve for disobeying Him if they were simply acting on gene impulses. He might have had a point if this was not the case but as it stands we all know the difference between right and wrong but those moral values and ethics mean nothing if all there is to keep us from throwing them out of the window is ourselves.

Einstein was a brilliant scientist but not much of a philosopher. I can easily refute his statement with one lizard man who advocates exterminating 90% of the population in the most horrible manner. People (scientists especially) need fear of punishment and hope of reward to keep such things from happening or else man WOULD indeed be in a poor way.

The statement that science says earth is 4.5 billion years old is a fallacy. Science does not say anything about anything. It is scientists who say the earth is 4.5 billion years old. The fallacy of "science says..." is often used to make something seem credible when there in fact isn't agreement on the matter. Nobody knows for sure how old the earth is.

you still are going to use your initial judgment before you agree or become part of a religion (before you had any knowledge of that system or any system)
That part itself isn't God given but your own conscious dicession (if you are not robotized already by this time).
the first instance (if you now take the bible in account) from wrong or right was told to adam and eve thats its wrong to eat from the tree (not learn't or passed down, christian or a bible)
which they did (good and evil, wrong and right) - in that instance they acquired the yes/no to wrong and right or good and evil by themselves of one god's own creations (the tree) with out any acceptance of any religion what so ever - right ?
apart from there being no Christ, Bible and Christianity - thus adam and eve and for the rest of their generations had known without excepting the above 3 right/wrong...

Your morals come from God. You did not get them from your parents because your parents didn't create them. It was all given to you by God, even Cain knew that it was wrong for him to kill Abel before there was even the ten commandments. It's not something which you simply pick up. Does the law say what would happen if you cheated on your spouse? In either case you can always escape the law but you can't escape God's judgement.
The lizard man wants to exterminate 90% so I guess he wins.

And what is wrong with attacking a method? Creationist methods that are without merit regularly get attacked but when the shoe is on the other foot there is always the complaint that the creationists are being unscientific for some unknown unexplained reason. It is entirely acceptable to attack any method and if it stands up to scrutiny then fine but if not then that is not the problem of the attacker. I don't know if you use encryption or not but there is the standard preconception that any method which hasn't been thoroughly attacked isn't reliable period! The same rule should be applied to anything else.
Do you honestly believe that? If so, how do non-Christian societies manage? And why is there such a high proprtion of Christians in prison?
I believe that God created man and gave him his sense of right and wrong and that even if someone has never heard of God they can not be excused from this so obviously I do. To bring up the issue of Christians in prison which has been dealt with already shows a very naive sense of reality. It does not take into account the culture, reliability of the method, or even how many are in the society. Without all of this I can indeed with the same set of statistics show that there is a high proportion of atheists in prison.
Well, it does not matter if you a worshipper or not.. this does not make you a moral person does it... So all of you that think people that dont believe are evil should look in your immediate community and well, absorb.... moral people are not necessarily holy people.. sad but true... so to all you holy people do not cast a stone on groups that dont follow what society prescribe to them.. if they dont kill and hurt anyone leave them alone!

Dodo, I specifically put the word conscience in inverted comma's as "conscience" is a silly word, very similar to a word like "fate". Because of the way you are brought up and the silly things you believe, the word tricks you into linking supernatural characteristics to it.

Because of the way you are brought up and the silly things you believe, the word tricks you into linking supernatural characteristics to it. Where "fate" is just coincidence, "conscience" is just another word for principles.
You like to lie don't you? Your conscience make the wrong / right decision and then the principle is developed, come on man...:)

Your mind can then overrule the decision made in your conscience before you act...

Can I explain my humble view wiithout being grabbed by the throat and kicked in the ironies?
Your body is the vehicle or container, goeie een daai...
Your spirit according to me lives in your conscience...
Your soul lives, or is your mind...
Now, when you repent your spirit is saved(the new man), your soul is being saved(the battle with sin), when you die your body are saved... you receive a new body and your salvation is complete...
