You are right. My morals do not come from me but come from God.

Gaia

Yeah! HUGE Migraines I bet!

I'm having one today, got up with it, haven't been able to get on top of it yet, nothing helps, no Aleve or Aspirin, just gotta ride it out I guess

Hope you feel better.

Gaia

Thank's!

I get them seldom, but when I do...Ouch! I got some Vicodin but I hate to take them, they make me sick on my stomach, then I'll have a headache AND a tummy ache. Guess I'll just ride it out and hope it goes away. It always does. Sooner or later.

Then there are not YOUR morals. In point of fact, your contention that you would be worse than Hitler in the absence of God brings to light a very chilling point... Since there would be no authority forcing such behavior from you, the belief that you would behave as a monster without your faith in God to reign you in, it logically follows that you actually WANT to behave in montrous ways but simply lack the courage of your convictions to do so. Indeed, the best thing would be for you to locked away against the chance that you should ever lose your faith and hurt somebody.

No I do not. Yours is a hypothetical. There is absolutely so your hypothetical makes your conclusion invalid.

Gaia

Well E-man, LC has a valid point here. I got the same impression from your answer to the original thread question. That you would be worse than the three monsters you named, were it not for you believing in God.

Maybe you got up on the wrong side of the bed, and your mood was dark. It happens...t'was still early when you said that.

You're the one who insists that you would engage in abberant behavior in the absence of your faith in God. Unless you have ever been absent this faith, it is your contention that is hypothetical. However, given your insistence that nobody would be able to stop you, it logically follows that nobody would be able to start you either. In other words, your actions would be limited only by your own choices. Given the preview you've provided of what your choices would be under the circumstance of the absence of God, it logically follows that you want to do horrible things, but your fear of God stops you. As such, since Eman without faith is a clear and present danger to the general public, Eman should but kept under constant surveillance against the day when his faith is lost.

He said the same thing many times, and in horrid detail, on the old board. His particular version of faith is a scary, dark place.

My Psych Teacher always said "there is nothing more righteous, than a revived sinner". He was a Babtist Preacher, then one day just quit and turned into a complete atheist, and became a psych teacher. Go figger! He tought me alot about fundementalist religion.
