The truth is, one standard of morals cannot be the same all around the world. There is different situations, there is different standards of living, different temptations, and there are different people world wide, who some have no choice but to kill to live, or steal to eat. I believe we are our own gods in a sense and what I mean by this is, We need to judge ourselves, we need to be morally okay with what we do, It is not up to someone else to decide if what we are doing is correct. That being said, I truly disbelieve any religions could be true, I love to learn about religion I love to have debates with people about religion and I am open, I will take any points and argue them with concrete facts, or simply agree with them. It's irrational to think someone made this earth in seven days, it is irrational to believe that we are to hate gays, it is irrational to believe you aren't to live with your partner before marriage. We are the only ones who cast judgment upon ourselves, we are the ones we have to live with.
All that being said, I am sorry if what I have said has offended anyone.
I agree with most of this. I don't let a book from hundreds of years ago judge and depict what I do. However, if there is a God/Heaven/Jesus (Which I believe their is, personally), then guess what? Most of my morals are good, and I'm a good person at heart. That should be enough. And about this Earth being made in seven days, I don't believe that. I believe that God created science, the big bang, and the creation of everything is existence was all a plan made by God. AKA Science.
My man, you do portray a good argument, but let me back you up for a second here where you said, 'Most of my morals are good' now here's the thing about that, are your ideas of good morals the same as someone in a third world country is forced to kill their parents in order to save themselves? Or is it the same as gods? It's impossible to set morals to the standard of living every where in the world. I admire the fact that you can find truth, and hope in God, Heaven, and Jesus but I can't see it not with all the natural disasters, and mass killings we see everyday.
