morality is based on how behavior affects others. sex and drugs are not immoral though they may be unwise.
You have admitted and bragged about having sex with married women. And an immoral act does not necessarily have to effect someone else. Who hasn't seen a pic or video of some woman willing allowing herself to be penetrated by an animal?
This is you, making your own rules, being your own God.
where do you get a value system outside of yourself? how do you know its the right value system? you have to think on your own and come to conclusions about what is right and wrong. what is wrong is intentionally/knowingly hurting another being.
Yes, you make a fair and very important point here and one I have struggled with myself. One of the very reasons I was an agnostic throughout my teens and most of my twenties. A value system outside of yourself is a necessary but an
insufficient condition to a good and moral life.
Hurting someone without good reason is a good rule to go buy. The problem is that when that general rule is accountable to just you, you can always justify to yourself that you have a good reason to hurt someone. You can see it all around you. I speak from personal experience.
I know people talk about all the various religions throughout the world so which one is true? Which is the right one? For my part, I am concerned only with the religions that espoused ethical monotheism. The belief in one set of laws; one value system that applies to everybody. And most importantly -- one God. For example, murder (not killing) is always wrong. Wrong for everybody. It doesn't matter what your culture says or does. What your belief system is. The same set of rules applies to everybody. Ethical monotheism, one God and one ethical system, was first introduced into the world by Judaism. Before that most, if not all religions, were polytheistic based.
From that stand point there are only three major monotheistic religions in the world: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Because of the relationship between Judaism and Christianity -- both Bible based, one (Christianity) coming from the other (Judaism). I consider them, as value system, pretty much the same. The promote pretty much the same moral and ethical system, and rules of behavior. They differ only in their theology. So now I break down the choices between Judaism/Christianity and Islam. Again not so much as a theology but as a value system. How we should live? What kind of person we should be?
I do not believe that the value system promoted by Islam in general creates good people, a better society and a better world compared to Christianity/Judaism. Not 100%. There are many good Muslims many horrible Christians/Jews. Just in general. A society based on Judeo/Christian ethics I believe will always be better than a society based on Islam.
I don't believe that in Christianity you ever reach a point where you feel you have all the answers. Like life, Christianity is a continuous struggle. Why do good people suffer? If God created everything why is there evil in the world? Before he created the world he seem to be fine with his angels in Heaven. Why not stop there? Why not just create more angels? Why bother putting us through all this? All this suffering in the world.
I don't think we are supposed to know all the answers. It's easy to believe in something when you know all the answers. It's easy to believe in Jesus when he is standing there in front of you inviting you to stick your hand in his wounds. This is where faith comes in.
Jesus told Thomas, “Because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed.” (John 20:29) It might be interesting to note that Islam means to submit to God. Israel means to struggle with God.
