It might not be of help, but for many I suppose the thought of certain things being acts of God are easier to swallow than bad luck. Be it war, disease, drought, tsunamis or any other disasters.

I only study A level philosophy so i'm not the best philosopher out there martin, but I like the way you think you take the dawkins approach (all scientific) but at the same time you use a lot of kants logic in your answer. If you studied philosophy i'd dare say you'd be very good at it.
first of all to answer the firts question you should check out Anselms and guanillo's argument. Then check out Descartes (basically says existance is a quality of God, it is something that is assumed like'all ummaried men are batchelors) but then Kant comes along and says for something to exist you must prove it (like a unicorn)
what I was just trying to clarify was your way of thinking.
so then I can attack YOU!!!

Well I never did but from the few brushes I had with it left with the opposite impression

Perhaps to yourself, but I am no less enlightened yet.
Always popular around here. :wink: Since I stopped being the admin people have fewer qualms about it, which is a good thing

I don't have time to explain it now I've got to shoot off, but just use :google: and i'm sure you'll understand it when i'm back, 1 thing though, try to absorb it first before you argue against it.
nobody likes a spoil sport such as dawkins.

). If you want to refer to something then don't send me on a man hunt with a keyword. Present your document.Martin, you are very good because you are coming up with key arguments that the best philosphers of our time, have argued with for centuries and pissed off big time their other philosophers, just read into it and absorb it as I said before you start twisting it onto us and we'll have our very own Hume in no time.
he rejected everything and annoyed his fellow philoshers very much, and everyone hated it when he destroyed their arguments , just like you martin

Being Morally good is simply doing the right thing, do not inflict pain on others, help others, forgive others, be kind to others, be peaceful to others.
Being Morally bad is just the opposite.
Where does it come from? In developed countries Morality comes from the media, books, schools, people etc..
In less developed countries, I would say religious books such as the Bible play an integral part in educating people on what is right and wrong.

Yes, but how do YOU know if an action is good or bad?
But the people who are writing these books and teaching in these schools, how do they know what's moral and what isn't?
But the bible says you have to stone your child if he is disobedient to his parents and other such obviously immoral rules. So how does the bible help teach morality?

morality means a code of conduct which is held to be authoritative in matters of right and wrong. Morals are created by and define society, philosophy, religion, or individual conscience
I like to think that most of us have a conscience, we know what is right and wrong, why or how? I do not know. We would feel guilty if we stole from the poor, lied to someone we loved, caused pain to anyone etc...
Socrates and Aristotle spoke volumes about ethics and morality. Perhaps these books were derived and inspired from such philosophers.
The Bible teaches us forgiveness, love, and tolerance. Jesus' teachings are the very essence of morality.

Here is one of those essences in morality:
Matthew
10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
