There is warfare and there are acts of criminal conduct.
yes and which is which? haven't you heard the saying one mans terrorist is another man's freedom fighter? its all reletive to the person in question
Do you not see the error in your own rationale? If you espouse that morals are relative then you give yourself no basis to criticize anyone else's beliefs. Indeed, you are trying to get me to sympathize with your views on relativity, all the while esteeming your own beliefs higher than that of any one else's.
there isn't an error in what jar says, the relativity of the morals is from the culture of the people, if the people find under certain reasons its not murder but other reasons it is, then it is by logic relative to the culture.
who says jar is placing his beliefs higher than anyone elses, what he is doing is looking at todays laws and looking at what people think we should go by, namely the bible and choosing todays laws, because they work while the bibles don't
So let me just ask you: Is it wrong of God if He committed genocide? We'll deal with theological assertions you've made after you answer this simple question. If you say, "I personally believe that it is wrong, but right and wrong are only concepts that we devise. It isn't either right or wrong. Its only wrong for me." To which I would reply, "Well, I think its right. And since morals are relative and abstract concepts, case closed. There's nothing left to discuss."
if god makes a law we should follow i would say yes, god is wrong for killing innocents. if you think killing innocent people because of gods rages then, i don't know what to think.
as far as i can tell the only reason you say god is right in doing it is because its god and not a human, choose your evil dictator from the last century and replace god with thier name and ask the same question, you asked jar.
is it wrong of "blank" to commit genocide?
and i bet it would be "yes!" , but god doesn't count for people since its not about the act its about who did it, isn't it?
