I claim that the humanist moral code is good for humanity, always.

If the human race disappeared for a hundred years and reappeared soon after in the same state, the same humanist moral code would still apply. The universal humanist moral code is good for humans at all times, eternally.

Morality isn't universal. Human morality does not apply to the Phorid fly, which procreates by laying its eggs on a fire ant. The eggs hatch, and the Phorid fly larvae eat there way out of the ant, killing it. Would it be moral for a human to commit murder and then eat the victim?Then morality cannot be universal and absolute. If it were, then it must continue to exist even in the abscence of life.
I know, it seems strange, but it really isn't.
No. Human morality is limited to HUMANS. As long as humans exist, there will be human morality. When our species dies, our morality will dissappear along with us.

Now, now, Evil, are you going to reply to my points? Or have you conceeded one can solve infinite regress without God(Application of Infinity), and that God is not infinite nor trascendent(Application of Genesis)?

God's morality is the complete opposite, and obviously much superior.

You're obviously on crack. Humanist morality never changes: Evil is commiting harm, good is perpetrating help. God's morality changes(Since you point out he doesn't kill anymore).EvilGrey wrote:

since when is the humanist moral code ever changing?EvilGrey wrote:[The humanist moral code is temporal and ever-changing, the product of flawed and fallible mortal beings.

Yes god's morality is MUCH superior, murder, rape, slavery are all considered moral, i bow down to it.
As i said already though, prove that what you think is "god;s" morality is anything more than some random old jewish dude's thoughts on morality which they wrote into a book, which you now delusionally think is the tale of a god and his commands, PROVE IT. you cannot that is the entire point of your religion, faith, to believe in something with no rational or logical reason for it, thus all christians when defending their religion will ALWAYS loose a logical argument.

How are we more fallible than a God who murders, lies, and orders his followers to commit terrible crimes?The humanist moral code is temporal and ever-changing, the product of flawed and fallible mortal beings.
God's morality is the complete opposite, and obviously much superior.
How is my personal moral code, one which focuses on treating everyone as my equal and doing no harm, any worse then God's?
How is SirNitram's, which allows me all the Beer, Pizza, and virgins I want, any worse than God's?
It is true that our understanding of it is imperfect, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. Our understanding of many things is imperfect, but that doesn't change the objective nature of those things.The humanist moral code is temporal and ever-changing, the product of flawed and fallible mortal beings.

Ok, explain exactly how anything derived from some nonexistent thing with severe racist/sexist/homophobic prejudices is superior to anything Humanity has ever come up with!!EvilGrey wrote:The humanist moral code is temporal and ever-changing, the product of flawed and fallible mortal beings.
