[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Morality existed well before any religious texts or belief in a Judeo/Christian god. [/quote]

If there is a God, morality existed before anything existed.[/quote]

Then why he reveal himself to the people that inhabited the earth before people settled in the Middle East? [/quote]

I'm sorry, could you rephrase your question?[/quote]

Sorry, I left out a word. Why didn't your god show himself to the people that inhabited China or Africa thousands of years before the people inhabited the Middle East? [/quote]

If you are referring to the OP, the God I have been discussing is the Unmoved Mover, the Uncaused Cause.  Other PPs have referred to Christianity.

That being said, if you are asking why Jesus was incarnated at the exact moment he was, in the exact place he was, and no other, that is above my paygrade.  However, the timing of his incarnation does not preclude all people from all times and all cultures knowing God, or even from knowing Jesus.  If Jesus is who he claimed to be, the second person of the holy trinity that is God, the he is both Jesus the son of a carpenter in the Middle East 2000 years ago AND the Unmoved Mover, the Uncaused Cause, who can be known through existence, through reason, through the heart and the soul.  Revelation is just one way to know God, and we don't know how other cultures and peoples knew God...[b]only that they did[/b].[/quote]

Multiple gods for different things.  Actually, the Chinese, Japanese, Korean and most of SEA believed in many many different gods and spirits.  They did not Know God, as you put it, because there wasn't/isn't One.[/quote]
