[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The bigger issue is that that when you say that a deity automatically gives your a moral compass, you're doing exactly what I said before: redefining "good," "just," etc. to mean "that which the deity wants." Belief in a deity isn't a basis for morality; it's just a basis for obedience. [/quote] I'll go a step further, and say that the American protestant belief in a "personal savior" usually means that the "believer" can look into their own heart for guidance as to what is "good", "just", etc... Rather than a basis for obedience, it's a rationalization for any sort of behavior the "believer" wants to indulge in. Anything desire may be indulged because that feeling is perceived as "God talking". And, of course, anything can be rationalized through scripture. In essence, it's a form of narcissistic nihilism.[/quote]. I agree.[/quote]
