re: God Has A Plan For Your Life

You've just pushed the problem back one step.

Where did his nature come from?

Did he choose his own nature (which means actions are morally good because God commands it) or did he not choose his own nature (Goodness isn't up to God, it's outside of his control, he's just the middleman relaying morality to humanity)?

You have just repackaged your argument with the same false dichotomy. You keep trying to treat God as if he was you. He is not. He is the Creator and you are part of his Creation. He is the uncaused cause. He is beyond time, space and matter. Goodness is God. It is not a question of creation or choosing.

It's really interesting to see these two answers back to back.

You dodged the questions. I could understand why you would want to but this is a big problem for atheists who want to be critical of Christianity on morality grounds. As an atheist with subjective morality standards, you lack a sound basis upon which to criticize Christianity on moral grounds.

To you, a subjective moral system allowing for kids to be killed sounds horrific. But an objective moral system that allows for that very same thing is ok because by definition it has to be ok.

I do believe Christian morality is best for society because God set the world a certain way. I do believe God can deliver judgment as he is the Creator. I also recognize my own limitations and God has many attributes (omnipotent, omnipotent, omniscience, etc.) that I do not have which make it ridiculous for me to think I can question his judgment.

I also recognize the many problems of subjective moral standards which you want to pretend do not exist. I have seen what has become of society in the West as we have pulled away from Christian morality and applied your subjective morality and it is not a positive.
