Does force require intent to exist, or can force exist without intent?
And was the Code of Hammurabi laid down by the all-powerful and all-knowing God of the universe (indirectly, it was, but do you believe that)? If not, then it's as arbitrary as anything else and not really valid.
Well, for what it's worth, you should render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's.
And the only thing that is Caesar's is a tax to provide a military and police force to stop people from doing wrong. Also, that just means "pay taxes and submit to governments that God has put in place on the earth," not "do not [peacefully, legally] oppose an unjust tax's being implemented" or "do not try to do [peacefully, legally] away with unjust taxes."
Wait.... Governmetns that God has put in to place? This isn't a government of God It is not a Theocracy if you want that so badly go to Saudia Arabia. but don't force everyone in to your religion Turtle. again h ere in the US we have a constitution that we base our government on if it was intended as you say we would have just used the King James Bible as law.
all-knowing God of the universe (indirectly, it was, but do you believe
that)? If not, then it's as arbitrary as anything else and not really

Assuming that the Bible was actually written by God.
Why is it any more acceptable to use force in response than to initiate it?
And what about crimes like theft, that don't necessarily involve force at all?
Assuming that the Bible was actually written by God.
And yet again, if you can't accept that premise then why accept that murder is wrong?
So protect your own life, liberty, and property, screw everyone and everything else. It's much easier to get what you want when you don't have to worry about its coming at others' expense.
You don't need to believe in God to have morals.
Not at all! You just need to believe in God for those morals to have any rational basis.
And yet
again, if you can't accept that premise then why accept that murder is
wrong?
...I read that multiple times, but I still have a hard time understanding this. The only thing I get is that I never want to meet you in person.
of "murder, cheat, steal, and do whatever it takes to further my own
goals"?
Because some of us can figure out right from wrong without someone having to tell us.
"[x] is wrong because [x] is wrong"?
'kay.
What you're saying is that if it weren't for God, you'd be okay with murder, rape, etc?
'kay.
That's... kind of disturbing.
Yeah, I really never want to meet him.
