[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the lack of god doesn't mean you can't place value on things.  The slave child you describe had a crap life.  It's not fair.  But who ever said life was fair?  Do you think life is fair?  God doesn't make it fair.  You may have a belief system in which there is an ultimate balance, but for most Christians, your slave child would not only have a crap life, he would also be damned to hell for eternity.  After all, he never accepted Christ.[/quote].

This idea of salvation and damnation came up before, and I feel compelled to say again, even though I am trying to avoid sticky theological side discussions:  Christ, if he is who he said he was, is not just a son of a carpenter from the Middle East, but also the second Person of the Holy Trinity.  So a human being could "know" him and "accept" him without having heard the name "Jesus."

But as for "fairness," you can certainly place a value of fairness or unfairness to a certain human action, but according to materialism, that value is not inherent.  So fairness and unfairness are relative, solely relative, and therefore ultimately meaningless.  Dead is dead.[/quote]
