Other than this, we share the same notions.good and evil are not subjective.
Inquisitions were atheists who used religion for power. Same with Jihadists. They use a cult for power.Compare that to inquisitions and jihads.
Early Christians ot the type Constantine bought along with the church, could not explain their supernatural take and thus turned to pure evil and violence against those with better explanations, like Gnostic Christians.
Maybe. But he thought he was doing good.Hitler's version was an obvious failure. It destroyed his country and got lots of people killed. It didn't succeed.
He was wrong. His morality failed. Real morality supports life and the success of all humanity. If it doesn't, it fails - because its followers die off. Morality is an evolved trait, not a pronouncement from on high.Maybe. But he thought he was doing good.
What is the source?Morality is an evolved trait of human societies. It promotes survival of the species. While religion has often been used to promote specific visions of morality, it is not the source.
I'd say that it is religion that offers "No Basis for the Idea of Good or Evil, Just or Unjust". Actually it is even worse than that, religion offers many different Ideas of Good or Evil, Just or Unjust. Like a buffet, you can pick and choose what you want and be justified in your choice.CS Lewis on his conversion to Christianity. He says in Mere Christianity:
But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea
of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust? If the whole show was
bad and senseless from A to Z, so to speak, why did I, who was supposed to be part of the show, find myself
in such violent reaction against it? A man feels wet when he falls into water, because man is not a water
animal: a fish would not feel wet. Of course I could have given up my idea of justice by saying it was
nothing but a private idea of my own. But if I did that, then my argument against God collapsed too—
for the argument depended on saying that the world was really unjust, not simply that it did not happen
to please my private fancies. Thus in the very act of trying to prove that God did not exist—in other words,
that the whole of reality was senseless—I found I was forced to assume that one part of reality—namely my
idea of justice—was full of sense.

This is completely untrue.The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the source of correct morality. Not the masses or the majority.
It’s your opinion he was wrong. Tens of millions think he was right and good.He was wrong. His morality failed. Real morality supports life and the success of all humanity. If it doesn't, it fails - because its followers die off. Morality is an evolved trait, not a pronouncement from on high.
Your version is as valid as Hitler’s if there is no God.
The God of Jacob has specifically documented what is good and evil.I'd say that it is religion that offers "No Basis for the Idea of Good or Evil, Just or Unjust". Actually it is even worse than that, religion offers many different Ideas of Good or Evil, Just or Unjust. Like a buffet, you can pick and choose what you want and be justified in your choice.
Sure. Go drink some koolaid.And every religion is as valid as yours, including ones that have committed acts of violence against the innocent.
I don't trust your numbers, or much of anything else you say, but "tens of millions" is a tiny fraction of the world population. Hitler's vision of morality lost.It’s your opinion he was wrong. Tens of millions think he was right and good.
I think it is the best in the world, as it teaches great morals, as is proven by the numbers leaving the religion.I am glad you found your source for morality. But that is certainly not the only source.
Would you? If God commanded it?Sure. Go drink some koolaid.
The "drinking the kool-aid" tragedy is really the ultimate condemnation of your view of morality.Would you? If God commanded it?
Ok, he conquered all of Europe with his mom.I don't trust your numbers, or much of anything else you say, but "tens of millions" is a tiny fraction of the world population. Hitler's vision of morality lost.
If your morality says there’s no difference between religions….The "drinking the kool-aid" tragedy is really the ultimate condemnation of your view of morality.
Point is, his opinion is just as valid as yours.
That is not how Jews view their position with God. Where did you get that from? The Oral Torah were statutes and legal interpretations that were not recorded in the Five Books of Moses. It entails many things God also gave to Moses for a code of conduct, ordinances, laws and other directives by God to Moses. It was passed down from generation to generation orally until it was written down after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. It is called the Mishnah. Then, there is a series of commentaries and debates concerning the Mishnah called the Gemara. Together, the two books formed the Talmud. Never does it say man is above God.This is completely untrue.
The Jews follow their Oral Torah and in that tradition, man is above God and can contradict him. Jesus exemplifies this with his, have ye forgotten that ye are Gods?
I have not.
Have you?
