We can talk theory but in reality we all fall short of God’s moral code.
Thank goodness... as "god's moral code" allows for slavery and would have us execute gay people who had sex.

RSince God does exist and since he loves me, I have a reason to not be a completely selfish person.
S I don’t believe you would say this behavior is ok.
So would you say if you genuinely have love for your fellow man, contentment, gratitude, sense of peace, joyful, self discipline, honesty, there really isn’t a need for a bunch of laws?
What about being an adult human should make me inherently moral in a universe where survival of the fittest is the only law?
In such a world it would seem that Neichze was right and compassion would be a weaknes.
Thank God we don't live in that universe.
You need to ask why that is true of most people.
If they have some innate morality, where does it come from?
Why would I even have a conscience? An animal would not.
Why do you judge me to be a sociopath?
Is that moral behavior on your part, or selfish behavior?
And no, I don't buy the whole society development from us being apes. By now you should know I don't believe we developed over billions of years. Nice fairly tale though. Kinda reminds me of something Disney would put out.
And you know this how?
Thing is you don’t know but I do
It always is amusing to me that people speak about someone else’s life and experience like they know something.
And yes I can and have, I do know and can see spiritual forces at work in people and not blind to them like I was in the past. I’ve found that spiritual weapons not fleshly weapons are what’s needed to overcome these forces.
And science has some serious limits when it comes to explaining reality.
This is why I judge you a sociopath. You seem to have no internalized morality. By your own words, the only thing keeping you from running amok is a fear of this invisible god:Why do you judge me to be a sociopath? Is that moral behavior on your part, or selfish behavior?
You have tradition, based on unsupported folklore. Science has mountains of hard evidence, from multiple, consilient sources, all pointing to an old Earth and evolution from earlier forms.And no, I don't buy the whole society development from us being apes. By now you should know I don't believe we developed over billions of years. Nice fairly tale though. Kinda reminds me of something Disney would put out.
Science is the gold standard. Human knowledge and technology exploded after the scientific revolution.You don't understand how a relationship with God changes a persons motivation if you think it's all about fear.

Not even close to what I’m talking about as a moral code. More like this:Thank goodness... as "god's moral code" allows for slavery and would have us execute gay people who had sex.
I didn’t think this forum allowed this kind of speech, name calling and judging people like this. If it does the thread is going to change quite a bit when others start doing the same.This is why I judge you a sociopath.

More like this:
“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.”
Galatians 5:13-26 NIV

That’s correct and to the point that men are inherently selfish and given the opportunity will lust for money, power, control over other people. I believe it’s ignorant and naive to believe men are inherently good and will do the right thing. That has become obvious in our culture today.The fact is that every society requires laws as that brings organization and structure.
Even the smallest of social groups will have a few rules in order to keep everything organized.
Sounds nice you say…that’s God’s moral code for believers. God also allowed for divorce, but only because man’s hard hearted:See, this is what I mean.
Focusing on the bits that sound nice to you while ignoring all the stuff that you yourself find horrible.
Really? So I could call a person a jerk on here as long as it fits the definition and I explain “my perception” cause that’s what that post was. Totally wrongIt's not name calling. It's not an insult.
It's calling a duck a "duck".
The list he posted, are textbook examples of sociopathy.
It may be unfortunate, but this individual is displaying the signs of sociopathy when they seem to have no regard as to the lives of non-human animals or believing that they would have no moral nature without some religious belief. The former, seeing animals more as objects, has been tied to sociopathy towards other humans.I didn’t think this forum allowed this kind of speech, name calling and judging people like this.

I don’t see how you can make a judgement that because he said animals don’t have a moral code, which they don’t have a moral code like human beings do. If a person would think like that then I would say to that person, please don’t go petting a bear or go near a growling dog ( unless you first tell the dog you mean him no harm and you just want to pet him). But to make the jump to now he is a sociopath or have no regard for animals is way off and your judgement is wrong.It may be unfortunate, but this individual is displaying the signs of sociopathy when they seem to have no regard as to the lives of non-human animals or believing that they would have no moral nature without some religious belief.
