Morality

[rvg]

So where in the Bible is cocaine classed as immoral? And why is cocaine classed as immoral, while alchohol isn't?

The Bible frowns upon intoxication regardless of its source. Cocaine in itself is neither moral or immoral, it's just a chemical. Same with alcohol.

Where's slavery immoral?

Are you talking about the Ante-bellum South chattel slavery? It's not addressed in the Bible because it did not exist at the time.

Were you a blank sheet before you red those passages and then suddenly came to the conclusion that they were immoral actions?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.

Moral relativism doesn't mean that there's no morals.

I never claimed otherwise.

The advantage is that there's no armour of God to wear. The one where's someones actions are always good because they're done under the banner of God, while filing the serial numbers off, and you'll have that obvious villain for your next novel (OT God's acts, done by a fantasy god? Evil god. Not fullblown, but evil nevertheless). Christian sects are fond of making that holy man's coveting of wives into a virtue for example.

People can claim whatever they want in the name of whatever they want. That doesn't change the morality of what they do. Also, when I claim that morals laws are absolute, that doesn't mean that I actually know what they are. I only assert that they exist and make a guess about what they might be.

Both foundations will have people that yarns that all their acts or wants are moral, and they will then try to justify their act as moral (the lesser version is to acknowledge that the act is evil, but justified).

Well, that's humans for you, nothing new here.
