If you don't believe in the TOS, does that make you an aTOSiest? Or maybe just a MOFer?

I think that you need to define moral, was the Roman empire and the homosexuality that was rampant moral, or immoral?
or, was the Christian Crusades moral or immoral?
where do we now gauge morality? good person who is straight, honest with fellow man, looks after his neighbors?
answer those questions first I think. Then aks yourself if god fits with those standards that you set.
I, for one, have a beleif in Jesus Christ, and the atonement.

I believe moral is relative. If "someone" where to question mine, I feel I could motivate most of my choices, from my moral perspective. To me, actions, not words are the ultimate expression of morality. God plays no part in my morality (that I know of)...
I have trouble believing that people are knowingly, consistently immorral or evil which, short of moral relativity, is the only explanation I can think of for whole societies to consistently engage in acts that I consider immoral. The in extremis argument doesen´t hold for whole societies/cultures, IMO...

Behind every act that is considered 'evil' by a victim is a perpetrator that believes that he is 'good'.
Can we get back to answering with questions?
