Who is attending Church on Easter Sunday?

Humans understand that harming another human is wrong.

That’s why we have developed societies with rules, with laws.

Humans do possess morality without religion.

There is a powerful and influential challenge to such an account called the Euthyphro dilemma after the challenge was first raised in Plato’s Euthyphro. The dilemma runs as follows:

Either God commands something is right because it is, or it is right because God commands it. If God commands something because it is right, then God’s commands do not make it right, His commands only tell us what is right. This means God simply drops out of the picture in terms of explaining why something is right.

Conversely

If on the other hand something is right because God commands it then anything at all could be right; killing children or setting fire to churches could be morally acceptable. But if a moral theory says this then that looks as if the theory is wrong.

Which God is yours? There are a few to choose from, but all religions agree there is only 1. So that automatically means most must be wrong.

Justify why he (she) is right and all the others are wrong ?

Err… Hinduism

Err… Hinduism

Are you saying that's the "correct religion" and all others are wrong?

 

[motorbiking]

I’m telling you that all religions do not agree that there is only 1 god. Hindus reckon there are quite a few. Some suggest many thousands.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

So religions can't even agree about what they believe in then?

Sorry to add, yet another thing for you to be confused about.

There is no confusion here.

It seems to be the religions that are confused

 

[motorbiking]

Do you believe in the multiverse? That being there is/was more than one universe.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Multiverses are conjectures. The idea of a multiverse is also untestable. Scientific principles dictate that ideas have to be testable with the possibility that the idea could be proven false. No such test exists for multiverses, and possibly never will, meaning they are not even scientific conjectures.

You weren't aware that not all religions are monotheistic.

You weren't aware that not all religions are monotheistic.

The point was that in all religions, they all believe something different.

How do you explain our existence?

A universe came in to existence, by chance and the laws of physics just happened to be right first time for it not to collapse back and destroy itself or for all the matter in the universe not to scatter to infinity.

Irrelevant waffle.

I guess you are happy to question other’s beliefs based on faith, but seem to have no alternative views of your own.

I wonder who is the more stupid.

You mean, I don't believe in fairies and I'm more stupid?

Ok
