Question of Morals

It’s an easy fix. They don’t actually believe in absoluites. Religions agree with you. Morality is subjective. There are rules all throughout the bible that good Christians choose to ignore, A rapists should marry his victim 8 Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material. Leviticus 19:19

  • Ye shall not round the corners of your heads. Leviticus 19:27 * All that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you. Leviticus 9:10 Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother’s milk. Exodus 23:19* *When men fight with one another, and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, then you shall cut off her hand. Deuteronomy 25:11-12 *Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. 2 Kings 2:23-25 NIV *You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT *If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die. Deuteronomy 21:18-21 *No one whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off shall be admitted to the assembly of the LORD. Deuteronomy 23:1 NRSV Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same. Luke 3:11 NIV

But WAIT! Cries out the Christian. Some of that shit came from the old Testament. Jesus changed everything. Okay, then we get to throw out the rest of the old testament; "All prophecy. The Ten Commandments, Original sin, Just toss out the creation stories, they are all Old Testament, no Garden of Eden, First man, or 7 days of creation,. But Psalms says, " Psalm 33:11 says, “The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.” His Word is Timeless and His Promises are Everlasting!. OOPS! [James 1:17] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. So god does not change?? But he did Change? Huh?

The Christian cherry pick their way through the bible choosing bits of moral verses they wish to believe in and discard the rest. That is God’s absolute morality.
