"For a Christian, God did not "suddenly disappear" but remains with the world."
I was addressing your argument not your belief.
You made the following statement:
From my perspective, in a world without God, there is no right and wrong, only actions and consequences.
That statement, as an argument, makes the assumption that God is the cause of the morals we have and if God disappeared those morals would change or become completely arbitrary. You are *not* considering a scenario where God never existed.
Now it may be that you had no intention of considering a 'Godless' world as an argument and were just throwing out your opinion that if the 'belief' in a God disappeared then humanity would have no reason to follow 'Christian principles'. If that is the case then I grant you your opinion as you granted mine.
This was not my statement but comes from post 96 by Protagoras
Confusion is understandable given the extent of this thread and the number of contributors. My opinions closely match those of Protagoras but not exactly.
