You didn’t address the evolution of moral standards over the millennia, and therefore didn’t really address what I asked earlier. Absolute morality implies that moral codes do not change.
Your ASSUMPTIONS are inconsequential to these arguments. You believe because you CHOSE to do so. Others can do so with equal conviction, about their chosen deities, as you did so, and be equally convinced. You won’t be able to budge them from their position, for the same reasons.
BTW, James, the Golden Rule does not prove the logical necessity of human rights.
It is not an assumption that I believe in the Christian Triune God. My God has affirmed human rights.
I cannot prove the logical necessity of human rights. They can only be ordered by Divine decree. Therefore, I believe in them.
You believe in life (I’m assuming you do from other posts you’ve made) just because you do, and you have no real basis for arguing with anyone who doesn’t. If they kill you first, then they win.
If the emperor takes my life in the Coliseum, then the emperor is accountable to God Almighty in my view. In your view, he won you lost.
Human rights are from God? read the OT xzins and find human rights in it. JCB is right: morality evolved. Absolute morality cannot evolve. Do you understand that?
You believe because you CHOSE to do so. Others can do so with equal conviction, about their chosen deities, as you did so, and be equally convinced. You won’t be able to budge them from their position, for the same reasons.
Spot on, JCB. They confuse their personal beliefs with absolute truth. I find that disturbing, if not delusional.
