Desiring Morality
We humanists desire to have a rational morality. I am putting forth the covenant morality for humanity- the presumption of humanism,which I endeavor to maintain that humanism ourrranks any theistic divine command theory.
Morality dictates what is best for sentient beings. It finds that the will of the supposed Deity for a relationship with us is utterly irrelevant to morality and is in fact immoral in how to come about!
His tastes and whims mean nothing to morality. He has no right over us and no right to judge us and put us into any Hell! This upsets theists,because they seem to think that might makes right.They claim that His omniscience gives Him the right to prescribe ethics and morality for us. No, they overlook that with the differences amongst the different sects, He speaks with a forked tongue!
A divine command theory must take that into account. Perhaps, a theorist would maintain that why, as we have many virtues and morals in common, we can resort to those, omitting then the differences.
Why should He reprove evil does in the future state instead of not letting the free wills of the Pol Pots to override those of millions as Fr. Meslier's the problem of Heaven enjoins?
How many theists would become immoral were they to become atheists? None. Oh, there would actuall be a moral improvement in some matters, such as sex!
How many people consider doing something wrong but decide not to due to His influence. None. Indeed, many commit wrongs due to thinking that that is His will.
We are not sinners- beings who just cannot measure up to His standards. We do mainly good most of the time. Ti's hightly irresponsbible to betray people with that nonsense!
We hardly could slight the supposed Deity! He would be impervious to slights. Anyway, ti's invidious to claim that measured against His nature, any wrong would be tantamount to any great wrong. That is highly irrational and immoral!
That attitude is totalitarian! Why, it is that of the Stalins! The previous writer merits contemnation as a misanthropist! His biblical ethic is highly misanthropic. The notion of Hell is that.
Such people bespeak a love of might makes right and disregard of real morality.
We should ever mock such stupidity and such purveyors of immorality!
We have a higher moral standard than those of the Ages of Faith!
Please add other moral considerations to this!
