I was in the same shoes as that young lady years back. Writing major and all, took tons of philosophy classes and addressed this same topic and morem Frank nailed it. And as a Christian, it's amazing what God reveals to us in our walk as we grow and understand His word and who is, that makes these philosophies fold like lawn chairs. Humble lady.

No, it doesn't prove the opposite actually. For sure, it doesn't prove that the source of morality of the people is within the Bible. These "hard problems", like killing, comes from human nature. This is why there is no such thing in that case as dilemma if life has value, the same apply to animals, which has altruistic behaviors. Non-universal aspects of morality shows that it does evolve by time, even you admitted that The Old Testament ( part do the God's words) doesn't apply to Christians nowadays, unless it's repeated in the New Testament. If Morality does evolve by the time and differs partly in every culture, then it suggests us that there is no such thing as the law of morality, which would has a rank of laws od physics.

Cultural differences prove the diversity of morals. Imaging us living in the ancient times, with no contact with others or knowledge about others, and we were doing what we saw our ancestors were doing (whether we wanted to or not, and there will still be people who would question that too), and we thought that that was right and that was the truth, and we continued with our lives with still no contact with others. Then, moral relativism would have been true. It is because of human actions (like alliances, battles, colonisation, trade etc) that contact and knowledge began to mix freely, adopted and discarded, and even lost forever. We are constantly trying and devising methods to improve our lives and wellbeing, and lessen our suffering, and that we have managed to elevate our standards of living is what prompts us to have an opinion on the actions of earlier people. How do we opine what people did back then was right or wrong? Based on our living standards and views. There are people who live bodily in this century but could be following a belief or practise which came into being 2000 or 1500 year back. As the standards of living rise even more drastically as time goes on, our moral standards will change. But it will and should always aim at improving wellbeing and lessening suffering.

Imagine yourself on a river, white-water rafting with 3 friends. Along the way, the two steering with the oars became convinced that the oars were slowing down the raft and that throwing them away was the right decision to speed up your progress. After that, as the waters get rougher, they talked and voted that everyone should cast away their life-vests and helmets, to lighten the load of the raft so you don't sink. One has decided to jump into the water to help push the raft faster, but struck a rock and died. The two remaining blame you for continuing to wear your helmet and life vest and demand you remove them, blaming your non-compliance for the roughness of the rapids and death of the one who jumped overboard. They tell you it's for the greater good of th boat as they decide to further lighten the load of the raft by knifing holes in it to release all the unnecessary air trapped inside. Who is right? What do you do?

Jesus said there is NONE good.. ppl just don't understand what happened in the garden do they. Our traditions our ways are meaningless to God he wants us to know him in spirit and truth Jesus said that himself. God changes NOT he is the same today yesterday and FOREVER! you begin to know him seriously and ALL of who you are becomes obsolete. ALL OF YOU. Your ways your life your mind YOU IN GENRAL. our righteousness is as filthy RAGS. meaning anything about us without Jesus is for NAUGHT. it isn't hard to understand that if you truly want to. And there in lies the problem.... DO WE! truly want to understand God.. humanity drives me crazy with their ignorance concerning God. He isn't hiding from us he is more then willing to show us right from wrong he tells us basically in his word. And will show you personally if you still can't grasp his word. He is ever merciful and full of grace I can attest to that personally. And shows me constantly how all the world wonders around aimlessly cause they refuse to acknowledge him trying to figure it all out. WELL WE CAN'T REALLY! it just blows my mind the arrogance we can have. We better learn to humble ourselves cause he will humble you if you are not careful.

I can see how this could work from the world's perspective but it cannot work from a Christian perspective. Always, the Christian works from the perspective of a "thus saith the Lord". Not all cultural practices conform to the truth of the Bible and that's what counts to the Christian. The Bible does not conform to our culture, our culture must conform to the Bible IF you claim to be a Christian. And that's a BIG 'IF'. Many label themselves Christian but deny it by their actions/lifestyle. That's why there is no such thing as a Christian cannibal, a Christian voodoo practioner, Christian hookups, Christian strip shows, Christian bars, etc. As Peter states, "We ought to obey God rather than man."

Morality is subjective. Based on feelings and opinions. There are no objective moral facts. Even if you ask someone who believes they are objective, they offer a subjective basis for their morals.

I don't think there is any verse in the bible to honor the dead, therefore there is mo immorality whatever you do with your dead.. We honor our dead because we love them, But there is no commandment of God to honor our dead.. So we do not commit sin if we do not honor our dead...
>>
<<@hansdemos6510
says :
It seems to me that people everywhere tend to honor their dead because they are human, not because there is a deity telling them to. I think some moral guidelines follow from the facts of life, from the mere fact that we are alive, that we need sustenance and shelter, and that we are social mammals. That does not make these guidelines "absolute", but it does make them as "objective" as we can possibly get without any need for a "god". It is therefore a mystery to me why people like Dr. Turek seem to think that a deity of some sort is needed to have "objective" morality, or how he could claim to know any morals that originated from such a deity, if it existed.

<<@Godlimate
says :
Whatâs this idea about morality having objective properties? Why is it so hard for people to understand that morality is a human invented construct for social utility? And I donât think people understand what subjectivity is: we are subjects of influence, and so there is no objective moral principle if the foundation of thought relies on the influence of our localised institutions. And I also think people donât understand the function of objectivity: that it is incontestable. This idea that killing babies for fun is objectively immoral is nonsense because it is and has been contested. You people who make this claim just donât do enough research that there are people out there who think this is fun, and because they are part of the moral calculus, it is far from objective. The fact that morality is invented by humans is in itself evidence that it can never have any objective position. It frustrates me even more when people donât understand subjectivity in the bible and that we somehow take ourselves away from the fact that it was written by men whose influences were limited to their local surroundings at a certain period. Itâs incredibly transparent and also obvious that it was designed to entertain us with fairy tale narratives next to a Harry Potter book.

Objective Morallity does not equal value of human life. You can desire to safe a human's life without believing there is an objective moral responsibility to do so. Using your logic would mean saving my kitchen chair would also be a moral dilemma because I value such chair. But it isn't, and for the same reasons valuing a human life doesn't make morality objective.

Easy way how I explain this is something like this: What can you make with a tomato? You make tomato sauce for a pizza, tomato soup, blend it in spicy salsa, make a tomato paste, you can eat it with a salad, prepare curry, chop it up and mix it with other ingredients...we can do many things with a tomato. BUT, it doesn't matter how you present it, it will continue to be a tomato as the standard. I can show my devotion to God in many ways through prayer, fasting, music, art, scripture, charity, praise, etc. But God is still my standard. One must understand why we feel uneasy when we know we do something wrong or something that we consider to be unethical. But objective morality has to be the standard, otherwise you end up creating a counterfeit for morality. You can't make tomato sauce with a carrot or an onion. You can find ways to mimic the taste of tomato, but it still won't be a tomato.

it's still not absolute. the values humans hold are genetically programmed into our bodies, literally. it's the same reason some sociopaths appear to be born without a value for other people's concerns. we don't value chicken lives much at all largely because we aren't genetically programmed to respond to chickens in that way, which just isn't the case with respect to other people. it's the same reason a shark doesn't value other lifeforms except its own and its offspring - it's genetic programming. this stuff isn't absolute, though it happens to be nearly universal across humans because of our genetic programming. frank wants to use the term absolute so he can sneak in an equivocation fallacy and assert that if morals are absolute there must be some physical or metaphysical basis they are grounded in which isn't limited to the sum total of individuals out there. unfortunately that's just a baseless assertion and we don't need it to explain our moral intuitions either.
