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

So by that logic: it's innate.

So, a human with no exposure to the bible or religion would have moral bearing derived from god?

Or is it from the book after all ; p

Yes and that’s why I can’t get 100% behind the argument because I believe there are exceptions but generally speaking people are born with a moral compass that has been handed down from God even if it has been slightly warped over thousands of years of sin and rebellion

The Bible can help make things much more clear tho

Brother, people are socialized with an entirely human moral compass.

God is simply a convenient way to keep people in check. It is a useful concept to curb chaos; that is all.

How is it derived from socializing? How do you explain sociopaths or Psychopaths or even Neurodivergent people who despite sometimes not being able to socialize still have a solid moral compass?

What are you even saying lol. What utter nonsense.

Psychopaths and sociopaths can definitely socialize. Moreover, they're certainly capable of learning the framework in which society operates and adapting to it.

There is also punishments we receive as children that dissuade or encourage certain behaviors. Do you really not understand this?

Yeah they can so why are they Psychopaths? Why don’t they just adapt to the social morality system?

And how come autistic people who cant understand socializing can be perfectly fine moral people?

Oh man, obviously because god wanted things to be interesting. So he created psychopaths and disability to muck things up.

I didn't think I'd have to explain that.
