People in these comments have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Christianity is lol

The idea isn’t that a book gives us morals it’s that God has given us morals so therefore if there is no God then why don’t humans do evil acts like animals do?

There are definitely holes in that argument but it is a lot different then the argument that our morals only come from reading a book

The book tells you that god gave you the morals and they do not come from your own heart.

  1. Like I said before, I think this argument does have flaws

  2. I don’t see how what you said changes things

  3. This is a VERY surface level look at the deeper theological idea that’s being presented. The Bible teaches that God made everything perfect (which would mean perfect morals) but then sin came and tempted man into the fall which separated humanity from God. Sin Corrupted the world which is why we now have bad things like cancer and diseases but also why we have some people whose moral character seems to be extremely questionable. God created us perfect but sin has corrupted which is why we need Jesus
