Think about it. I mean, the universe is everything, right? And since everything needs to be balanced in order to be in harmony with it, it is a good model for morality.
This would be a good topic for consideration in seriousness, if it were not for the fact that the universe casually lets entire planets get destroyed when things like novas happen.
The universe has a greater plan, mortal. Acts of mass-murder by morally perfect deities are perfectly acceptable under fundie logic.
One possible reason why fundies think this way; so that they have an excuse...

Lord Wong: Might I post your original commentary in their comments section?

"This statement, in its utterly clueless hubristic stupidity, cannot be improved upon. I merely quote it in admiration of its perfection." - Garibaldi in reply to an incredibly stupid post.

:D Oh, I do not need to be reading this thread the day before an Ethics exam. At least we're doing applied ethics now, talking about suicide and euthanasia.

Hey, DW: Prove that there is a universal consciousness. I have never observed such a consciousness, and there's no empirical reason to believe such a thing exists. Under Occam's Razor, we must eliminate said consciousness as an unnecessary addition to a practical working theory. And who thought I would ever get a chance to say that to Lord Wong?

:D :wink: :wink: :wink: :D
