A drink on you? A tempting offer—just as long as it’s not the biblical cup of wrath 😉
I appreciate your conviction and respectful tone, but I’m afraid your argument runs into a classic dilemma: Either God decides what is good—making morality arbitrary—or He recognizes what is good, in which case morality exists independently of Him, and we don’t need Him as a moral authority.
Yes, moral values evolve across time and cultures, but that doesn’t mean they are random. Evolution has made us more cooperative, compassionate, and just because the survival of our species depends not on selfishness but on collaboration. And if you claim that without God, justice wouldn’t exist—well, that assumes God actually ensures justice. Unfortunately, history shows that the greatest crimes have often been committed in the name of an absolute moral lawgiver.
But never mind—if we ever meet, I’d be happy to raise a glass with you. I’ll have a Suure Moscht 😉
