You can be a moral person without God...

How did you come to the conclusion that religion is nothing more than a political tool?



What do you mean by this statement?

@trad

you are asking a complicated question... 1 question at a time... he is just a boy!

Believing in god is the greatest deception in human civilization. Too many people believe in god and became self-righteous that they forget to respect and help other human being. And they think that they are chosen people by god and others are not. I am sad.

Good thing You are sad about it. But dont be, he will come and save you! This is not a perfect world, we have tears we have sorrow we have pain. Its our joy to believe in... why are you adding pain to this miserable world?

ddn't you know you are not solving the problem but instead making new problem? think again bro.

Apparently, moral relativism is being strongly proposed here as THE morality to follow and observe. Hehehe. It's quite difficult deciding where to start answering when so many have already posted their opinions and conclusions. Maayo unta if backed by facts, not merely conjecture.

What I would propose (and skip the proofs for now) is this:

God is the foundation of morality, and it is with reference to God that one can observe what is moral and what is not. Apart from God, there is no morality, only a bare semblance of it. One comprehends what is the right thing to do only with respect to the One who is the embodiment of RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Why do you say it's "abusive brainwashing"?

read my post again and you'll know the answer to your question.

deception is too strong of a word but it fits it perfectly. let's give it a soft touch. "illusion" or "delusion" may be the right word. nonetheless, i agree with you 200%.

your talking bout the christian belief of morality?

so are you saying that those who have other sets of morality are immoral because they do not conform to yours? you use your own morality as a standard..

mao na nka lisod...kay motoo mga tao nga ila pagtoo jud sakto.. and ang uban nga naa pud lain pagtuo kay sayop..

might as well tell the muslims/jews/hindus their immoral... hope you dont get punched in the face..

i have my own understanding of GOD.. so it doesnt make your god as correct.. and that also makes my GOD as not correct in your perspective..

btw, Christians were not punched in the face but martyred for the sake of Christ. not because other religions are immoral but because of the hope that only Christ can fulfill.

Morality is a condition of the human heart, infact all humans possess the same issues and struggles, but the sad fact is we are helpless. we can not even fulfill a new year's resolution for change. This is the reason that morality apart from God can not stand.

Not to offend you bro but i think it's the other way around. The greatest deception is believing there is no God.

People resist the idea of someone being in control of their lives and destiny. but the truth is (the inner) man knows Someone (may be something) greater than them controls their lives. an example of which are feng sui, horoscopes, new age, and other related things that brings luck. why do you believe such? because you know how limited you are and efforts could be. You need someone greater than you.

When Jesus came here, He was known as friend of sinners. He was loved by the sinners and hated by the self-righteous people of His time (even now). Why was he like that? because he was not condemning but forgiving. He was and is there to help them and us in times of need. Don't look on men bai. all tend to fail.

I agree it's bad if parents use it to blackmail their children. But I think there's nothing wrong with passing on to your kids the doctrines of your faith.
