Of course we're not there yet but considering what we know, and what we know about the speed at which our knowledge has increased in just the last 100 years, who's to know if immoral behaviors won't be perfectly explainable medically as evidently as doctors today can tell if you have the Pox? In say, 300-500 years? It could be even less too... We cannot rule out the possibility...

Is stealing immoral because it's.......taking something that isn't yours?

THE FURIOUS VICIOUS CHRISTIAN TROLL ETHANG HAS ASKED THE SAME QUESTION REPEATEDLY NOW 53 TIMES I’VE EXPLAINED PATIENTLY 53 TIMES
HERE IS THE FURIOUS VICIOUS TROLL ETHANG BEING TOLD YET AGAIN .....WATCH HIS STUNNED INCOMPREHENSION AS HE ASKS YET AGAIN .........”BUH ,BUH WHY IS MURDER WRONG “
My reply (54th ) Children as young as 4 understand this concept where I’m from why can’t you?
Atheists mostly follow the Golden Rule
Murder is wrong because as an atheist I treat others as you would want them to treat you, and can reasonably expect them to want to be treated.
Be mindful of the consequences of all your actions and recognize that you must take responsibility for them.
Murder deprives another of the life they are entitled too.
This explanation totally stuns ETHANG as he wishes to know how an atheist can reach these decisions without praying or consulting a Bible
ETHANGS REFUSES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS HE SAID “I’M NOT HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS PLACE IS

Ethang doesn’t know what objective morality as he refuses to define it

Ethang said there is a god because he said so he refuses to explain why
Ethang said there are no other gods that’s stoopid Ethang refuses to says why
Ethang said “ slavery, rape and infanticide were not in the Bible anyone that thinks so is stoopid “ a real Christian dbox disagrees with Ethangs “assessment “
Ethang said nothing is in the Bible unless he says so

The question is
Why is murder immoral?
And this is a debate, I'm not asking you for directions.
When you tire of making fake quotes, and posting gifs, I will be here with the question you're dodging.
You will answer, run, or concede.
That stupid circular "answer" you gave has been thrown out.
There is limited space between your ears, your skull can only be so thick. I'm patient. I was trained for trolls like you.

>Murder is wrong because as an atheist I treat others as you would want them to treat you, and can reasonably expect them to want to be treated.
That has nothing to do with why murder is immoral. How you treat others is immaterial. The morality of murder doesn't depend on you or how you treat others.
>Murder deprives another of the life they are entitled too.
>This explanation totally stuns ETHANG
No it doesn't liar. It is circular. It makes no sense.
You're dense, and you lie, but you will come around.
Depriving another of the life they are entitled to is another way to say murder, it is not why murder is immoral because I could simply ask, why is depriving others of the life they are entitled to immoral?

Consider this,
My question to you, can man put the building blocks of life together now? The answer is no. Eventually man will be smart enough to put the building blocks together. Nevertheless, what would this prove? If anything it proves the existence of a creator. Because there is no experiment that man can perform that would disprove a creator. For the simple fact that the man himself represents a creator. The fact man is trying to build the building blocks of life, proves there was intelligence behind life. The only way evolution could be proven is for it to cross three hurdles. One it would have to happen all of the time without the assistance of anything. We should be able to walk outside and see something explode out of nothing, or we should be able to look into a telescope and see something explode out of nothing. This would shatter the law of physics, cause and effect. The second hurtle would be the fact that lesser species still exist. According to evolutionists survival of the fittest means that the weaker species would die out or be wiped out. If we evolved from apes then why do we still have apes. They all should have been eliminated, or evolved. There are too many lesser or weaker species, why did some evolve but others didn't. The third hurdle is the fact that we cannot cross breed. If we are from them then we should be able to mate with them to create a new breed. But because of the makeup of DNA, it makes cross breeding impossible. You cannot inject human sperm in a whale and get a whale-man, or vice versa. You cannot even do this with apes and man. The more man learns makes these hurdles higher and higher.

God is. God was. God will be. Time is only important to people. Those who have faith in God believe that they were made in his image but not to be equal to him in any way. He blinked and created. He can blink and destroy. He is not limited by any standards that humans may expect. The question equates God to the humans he created and their logic. God does not care about logic or time. Our lives on earth are short and like a blink. He chooses how He does things, but has never been and will never be, bound by anything. Claiming he created a pattern that He must follow is illogical from a religious standpoint because he makes the rules, not us.
This is not an argument for or against religious creationism. My point is simple based on the directness of the topic itself and looking at it from the standpoint of religion which makes the statement incorrect when it comes to believers of God the creator.

God did not change his moral standards, again arguing only from the religious standpoint only. If a Christian believes that God created everything and is, in fact, everything, then we know that He has set in motion the evolution of man from the beginning. Change has always been a part of our world and our universe. If we believe in Him we know that he is responsible for all of it. The evolution of many things, science, industry, medicine and everything else is by his hand. If those things evolve and grow then it is a given that people would change with the world around them and expectations of behavior change as we evolve. Jesus Christ, God in human form, came to change the world and did. and the New Testament reflects those changes. Again, faith is the underlying issue, If there is none, God and His work cannot be understood by simply using and comparing what we consider as logical. A supreme being is illogical to many, but that does not mean that one cannot or does not exist. Some things, as Christians believe, are beyond human understanding. At the end of the day, God can do whatever He wants and call it right. It sounds terrible, but it is what it is.

You say ...... A supreme being is illogical to many, but that does not mean that one cannot or does not exist. Some things, as Christians believe, are beyond human understanding. At the end of the day, God can do whatever He wants and call it right. It sounds terrible, but it is what it is.
My reply ......A supreme may exist true but for me anyway highly unlikely. Christians will give answers to questions regarding god and depending on who you ask that answer can differ widely , Christians will claim a miracle when some odd event takes place as in recently Notre Dame Cathedral where a large crucifix survived the inferno undamaged yet when asked “why does god let babies be born with cancer “ will reply “he works in “mysterious “ways” .
Believers cannot amongst themselves agree on one accepted interpretation of gods word which is why there are over 31 thousand denominations of Christianity worldwide
For a god to do whatever he wants and call it right is not a god a rational person would adore , that’s a tyrant.
I asked several Christians in debate last year “if god asked you to sacrifice your son on an altar to him would you do it “ they all stated
“yes “ except one who said “but god wouldn’t do that “ I said “ but he did “ the reply “ well he was only testing Abraham “ I said “Abraham didn’t know this”
To be a believer this is the sort of irrational nonsense you have to justify and the hilarious thing is a Christian will laugh at and find totally irrational the teachings of the Quran and other sacred books

The atheist simply picks what he doesn't like and then calls it immoral.
Asked why it's immoral, he replies, "I don't like it."
It is not possible to use logic on such people.

Christianity does NOT say atheists lack morals. It says the morality of atheists lack authority. That is a different argument. The morality of an atheist is simply his personal tastes.
As such, there is no reason why anyone other than that atheist should be obligated to follow that moral code. The morality of a Christian though, is objective, and applies to everyone, regardless of what anyone thinks of it.
>Thats it your morality is objective because it comes from god ( which you keep denying )
It isn't my morality. Your god paranoia is showing.
>and everyone else is wrong because you say so.
I'm only saying you are wrong, not everyone else. I'm debating you, not everyone else.
>Now that’s hilarious you’re a right little dictator aren’t you?
Do you feel threatened?
You still have not told me why you think murder is immoral. Would you like me to tell you the non-circular reason why?
Because you aren't well educated, you are unfamiliar with the concept of authority as used in ethics.
So we have to take it slowly with you.

>I am curious, what dishonesty are you talking about? From what I have seen, atheists tend to be pretty straight about their claims.
Atheists then not to answer questions about their claims.
>While the religious people employ the dodgy rhetoric such as, "There is God, but it is not really the God you are thinking about, it is not something you can understand, it is not human, blah-blah-blah".
Unless you can understand anything, I fail to see why It's dodgy.
>It is always some mystical "it exists, but I cannot explain to you what it is" claims.
I can. But have you ever considered that it IS mystical?
>Ask me about anything that I think exists, and I will be able to explain to you clearly what, in my understanding, that something is, what you can do to confirm its existence and so on.
Do you think abiogenesis exists?
> will not talk about some ethereal deity that I can communicate with, but not in a way that anyone can understand.
Really? For something "no one" can understand, God is doing pretty well wouldn't you say? Your depiction is a little skewed I would say.
Not everything can be explained in a minute. Some things require more than the attention span of a gnat.
And sometimes, the communication problem is in the atheists willingness to listen and not in the theists ability to transmit an idea.
>Intellectual dishonesty is when you know your argumentation is flawed, yet make an effort to ignore its flaws.
This is exactly what atheists do.
>Atheists do not need to do that with regards to the subject, because they do not talk about fairy tales being a reality in the first place.
Yet, that is exactly what they do.
>Does not mean they cannot be intellectually dishonest in other ways, but on the subject of religion they are as honest as one can get.
I find them to be arrogant and ignorant, and parroting atheist talking points instead of actually thinking.
Constantly have to be reminded that their opinions are not reality, that this is a debate and their position is not established from the onset, and that the theist is not on an audition for their approval.
They want to grill the theist without answering any questions themselves. I never allow that. I have not yet met an atheist whose basic objection was not based on ignorance or dishonesty.
Yeah. You're different.

>What is it exactly is it that you think atheists cannot see
The difference between the argument we are making and the caricature of an argument they want us to be making.
Every atheist I have ever seen answers, "Morality is possible without God/Religion." When we say "Atheist morality is subjective and therefore invalid."
The Christian is actually making an observation about ethical authority, not directly about God.
The principle behind the Christian's argument doesn't even require God. But when we tell the atheist this, he is so paranoid and trapped in his silly dichotomy, he simply ignores it and persists in thinking the Christian is attempting to advocate God.
The Christian's position is logical. The atheist is free to present an alternative position, but it needs be logical. The standard is, "Is it logical?" Not, "Is God in it?"
>and what do you think they need to have to see it?
Pretend, if that is the only way they will think, that they are agnostic. Drop the crippling bias that short circuits their thinking.
Debate step by step, some arguments cannot be laid out in one post.
Simply think, instead of always being an anti-theistic militant.

And what is the argument they want you to make? And What is the argument you are making?
So you say that Christians say Athiest Morality is subjective and invalid and in response, Atheists say Morality is possible without God/Religion correct?
Ok. So what is it that you're trying to advocate yourself?
What do you hope the atheist will achieve by pretending to be agnostic?The unexamined thought is not worth thinking.
