Max Power said:I haven't said mine is better than yours.
All I've said is that I think that slavery is wrong. The bible certainly doesn't. What's your opinion on slavery?
That's not quite true. You made a pretty big claim on morality. You said:
Christians are free to think whatever they want, to say whatever they want, but they are not free to impose their beliefs on others.
And, to be honest, the bible doesn't exactly have the most enlightened opinions on things. Not only is homosexuality not accepted, but slavery is.
Sometimes its necessary to have a higher moral standard than the bible.
By this statement, you implied that there is a "higher moral standard" than the Bible. The Bible of course is the standard for the Christian conscience.
And then you said the source of your "higher moral standard" is your conscience.
I am very interested why you think you have a "higher" moral authority than Christians since we ALL have consciences. Can you tell us why your conscience is so much superior to Christian conscience?
