Theist. Would you give up your moral sense?

You say you let god guide you.
Feel free to explain how it is that you are guided.

I would not have a clue as to how to explain that..
Regardless, what is clear is that you are being given a code.

taught a code..(if you are referring to a code of conduct)
the difference being 'given' requires no effort on my part..

It seems to me that the problem with this thread is that the OP begins with a faulty premiss: that Theists posses a "moral sense".

It's never been my experience in interacting with any Theist that they possess any such thing at all. Rather, what I have observed is that they are in possession of a Stipulative Ethical 'sense': they are trained in the ways of their particular code of conduct, as prescribed by their faith.

Thanks for the good giggle. You may have a good point.

Romans 12:17-21
17Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.

I saw this quote above and it sounds real good till you consider that God himself ignores it.

He repays evil with a greater evil called hell even as he says he hates sin and loves the sinner.

Strange that it is not the sinner that is punished forever not the sin.

Punish what you love and not what you hate. Hmm.

it's funny you mention that...

didn't you say somewhere in this thread that you didn't care about anyone but you? did you edit one of your posts or am i thinking of someone else?

regardless...

i would like to rid the world of people like that...who only care about themselves. i know god, and as far as i can tell we're in agreement about that. how does that make you feel? i want to live in a world where people really love themselves, and love other people as much as themselves, all the time. something tells me you're not going to fit in.

They are not punished for sinning, but rejecting Gods forgivness for their sins.

Your right I would not ever turn true love to the kind of hate your God peddles as love.

You have it backwards. It is the theists who should argue it.
They do not because they know that faith without facts is for fools.

The problem with that is i am not aware of any Atheists who were not indoctrinated either.

What facts is Atheism based on?

Its more of a matter of what is possible and what is not possible people are never going to agree on that because they haven't experienced it first hand.

What facts is secularism based on. Shall I write you a book?

Not on the facts that religionists use.
