Kindly explain "GOOD". You surely can't use a human definition?
The definition of the word good is what opinions offer.
Such as only by mankind can the words even apply since we not only created them, but they are a concept that 'choice of action' is often based on
the means: it is when 'a choice' is being questioned that the term is actually applicable; such that an earth quake destroying a whole city is not BAD
as it was not caused by a human (conscious) choice; it is nature (don't care who, how or what dies/lives, as it is nothing we can chose)
Now in choice; good is measured with what is natural (science of natures actions, not it's choice)
and nature shows us instinct
in which life has an 'intent'...(to continue)
so if a life has a choice, then naturally it is 'to continue'
Good choices: "support life to continue"
bad; loss to the common.
nature isn't defined as 'doing' good/bad
only mankind can think of it and cause an action to exist by choice, that can be measured either good or bad.
Example:
I'm of the impression that you would submit that killing - or attempting to kill - your own son is as bad as it gets and telling someone to kill their own son is just as bad. That isn't "GOOD", but is in fact completely WRONG.
in comprehensible as you posted
but if dad knows the kid is causing bad, by choice; it is better to 'cut off the hand' then allow it to continue (now that choice is compassion for the total over the acceptance of the wrong in which the total pays for it as a 'loss to the common")
Here we seem to be in agreement with our goods and our wrongs. So when we say something like 'god is good', whose version of 'good' are we using? Yes, it's ours.
Existence is Good, otherwise we would not be alive.
Appreciating being alive enables understanding existence, is good. (to me God is all that is, at the same time; not some dude on a thrown)
But then how could anyone ever say "god is good"?
as God would be existence itself, that i live within (mother-nature/the universe/existence itself)
You see, this god ordered Abraham to kill his own son - and Abraham complied. We both know that both actions are bad. Ordering someone to kill their own son and trying to kill your own son are both equally bad. So when someone says "but it's god so it's good" - what do they even mean?
i don't view as God said anything.
i see the lesson just as i stated above; if your kid is doing wrong and you know it, then kill the child as it is better to honor existence than the damage the child can do.
So when you say to 'honour god is to do good' you don't actually mean it, you just mean that to honour god is to do whatever he says - be it good or bad as you understand it.
God don't talk to folk, unless you (a person) is are being considered a part of God, and are speaking......
but then that is where 'common sense' must be measured to establish whether the opinion is true or not.
to mean; all mankind can make the same decisions if equiped with reality (knowledge of life/existence)
But in doing so you consider it good to slaughter ones own son or any kind of activity that you actually think is bad as long as this god has apparently said you should do it.
that is what 'judgment' is all about
each can be equiped to judge, if 'good and bad' are comprehended as true to existence. NO police will be neccessry if equality of understanding was conveyed to all mankind as each would be aware, they are responsible to 'existence' (all of us) over themselves. (kind of like what a knight is)
This causes mass problems. For instance, the woman that stoned her kids to death. She honoured god apparently and so how could you convict her - for to honour god is to do good - and that's exactly what her murder of 3 young children was intended to do, indeed apparently commanded of her. Because god commanded it, she did good - hence no basis with which to ever judge right from wrong.
now you just hit it on the head
God don't talk, men do. Mankind created the opinions calling them 'from god'
which is BS in reality. the rules of God are not found in words, but in nature
so the women by note comprehending that she is killing herself (next generation) would not murder the children unless she understood that 'what they do' is what to measure as 'good and bad' and not by what someone tells HER to do.
that is the error of beliefs; folks actually think God 'told them' how it works
which is all BS
If he tells you to rape a woman, we can't say that rape was wrong - you're honouring gods commands.
rape is wrong
and my fix is easy:
'any man who harms another over sex; i have a glass rod to put in your winkie and will break it"
Bet not a one do it twice!
Right and wrong, good and bad become but a farce.
not really as it is the measuring of choice with nature.
Life: purposed to continue
Good: support life to continue
Bad: loss to the common
Think of your choices as being a tap onto a flat pond; if what you impose combines with other waves and will live longer, then good can be observed
If what you impose in like a wave trying to jump out of the pond because it thinks it is separate, by choice; it is a 'loss to the common'............
nature proves these, even in my funny way of conveying; its all real!
