MORALITY

---

All moral systems are man-made. Even IF there are supernatural beings attempting to guide our behavior, revealing themselves to the writers of ancient books, our morality is STILL man-made. Why? Because when a superior being appears to you and gives you a message, it is YOUR judgment call to decide whether this creature is good or evil. YOU would have to judge whether that "spirit" flowing through you is Holy or Demonic. Every set of rules in every religion required a human being to proclaim that they are from a good god and not an evil, deceptive devil. So when I argue about the morality of any religion's sacred commandments, I am not in a debate with God, I am in a debate with the human being who decided for himself that the rules revealed to him fit his opinion of what the True God would say.
