Same reason I don't let doors shut in strangers' faces on my way out of the gas station. I don't need a reason to want to make people happy/let them be happy. I'd like them to allow the same for me. Golden Rule. Respect. Unity as a species. Joy. Happiness. End of conflict. I like people. I've seen people do some cool things.
Fine, but you seem to think this moral code applies to everyone. What if someone disagrees? What if he says murder is a-okay? Why are you more justified than he is?
A lot of kings with absolute power have had their heads in a basket at the hands of angry, rebellious peasants. It's tough to kill a god but the reasoning is still there and we should question it with reason. If you only won't because you're afraid he'll hit you with lightning for thinking otherwise, that's fine, I guess. Whatever.
I think I've already said multiple times that obedience doesn't have to be out of fear. I'm not sure why you keep coming back to that.
How dense are you really
What logic do you possess, if any, if you can't understand why I think one person taking the life of another is evil and two dudes screwing each other in their own privacy is just fine as long as I don't have to hear about the details
No, I honestly can't understand. Why
do you think it's evil? If
you don't wanna do it, fine, but to say that it's morally wrong for everyone else is awfully arrogant, isn't it? And if I
don't want two dudes screwing each other, why am I any more wrong than you? I'm just not sure why you think logic has anything to do with it. If there's no God, there isn't really much of a logical argument for or against murder's or homosexuality's being morally right or wrong. Logic really doesn't come into it because it's basically "anything goes."
The Golden Rule (boy do I love it), being as fair to everyone as possible. It's better than God's tinted glasses because of the part where it's as fair as possible to everyone.
And again, it's not really possible to be biased one way or another if you're the one who creates the system. Going back to the comic analogy, that would be like me saying your web comic is biased toward video games because you made a web comic about video games. I guess... I don't know, am I not explaining this adequately? God doesn't have tinted glasses, the universe comes pre-tinted because he made it that way. It's not possible for an objective source to be biased.
I think the most important thing in the world is to be able to understand someone else's perspective.
Yet you keep implying that fear is the only reason I follow God's law, so I'm not sure you understand
my perspective.
Did God himself write the script where I say he can suck my mortal dick?
Yes.
What is his ultimate goal if He knows how we will all die, is it all just for His kicks?
"Kicks" is probably not the word I'd choose in this case, but essentially, yes. All of existence is for the glory of God, and one way or another all of existence will serve that purpose.
If that's the case how can He expect anyone to overcome their gayness, I mean, it's in their script whether they do or don't, and He's read 'em all, right?
Yes, but
we haven't read that script; we don't know what will happen. And He's still told us to do it, so we're not off the hook.
