No, but I know what deeds are uncompassionate.


Your definitions of Truth are too one-sided. It doesn't give the whole picture of reality.


My point is God, being an omniscience being, should taken human's sin into account before He send his words down. His failure to do so, prove His failure or rather unwillingness.

Besides why you so sure that your interpretations are not deluded by your own sins? Have you been purged by saints before?

Should I remind you that Jesus, who is the core of christinity faith, teachings and salvation, choose to appear in a remote part of Earth while ignoring the rest.



Thats the point, since you know so little about God, what makes you so sure that He doesn't have the habit of breaking His words or burning people? As how logic goes, you can't trust a person that you know little of. Much a less a God who had created Hell just because He like it.

If I do something knowing or believing it to be wrong, it is a sin for me to do it. If I do something "wrong" without knowing it is wrong then it isn't sin. The morality of a deed isn't based solely on our knowledge, nor is it based soley upon our act. Both the act and our moral understanding of it together determine the moral rightness/wrongness of the deed. In every instance we are held to the same moral duty--to do what we understand is the right thing to do, and to refrain from doing what we understand to be the wrong thing. This applies to the eating of shellfish, and a whole lot more.

How can you know what is not compassionate if you are not qualified to say what is?

My conscience tells me that by throwing one's own sons(regardless of what he did) to the sea of the great fire and allowing him to be burned there, is a confirmation of an uncompassionate deed.

The reason God can't develop a value system is that God has always BEEN the moral standard for values. He can't develop what he already is, in full measure.

How can you, or anyone else, know which of your actions will uphold or extend life, and which don't? Who's life? Do you have a moral obligation not to kill or eat animals? To whom are you morally obligated? Why?

I can get to that, but you need to catch up. So far you have not demonstrated the objective morality of god. All of your posts add up to this:

God is moral because God is moral.


why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why?

The question you posted, as the topic for this thread, is "Does atheism explain anything?"

The answer is YES.

But I personally don't think your interested in any answers to be found here, Keith.

Because the answers are all based on a dedication to reality.
(Which happens to be one explanation for atheism.)

And you're full of answers based on superstition.

And you are here to preach "YOUR ANSWERS", aren't you Keith?

Uh... so, do you think eating shellfish is immoral or not? Just answer the question. Yes or no.

Keith

I have done better than just answer your one particular question. I gave you God's moral precepts. This applies to all human conduct; not just the eating of shellfish.
