Youre right..empathy is not a foundation in itself..i cant understand why someone would think it could ever be..and there must be a 'straight line' for us to go by.we cant just make our own 'straight lines' and then change them when that 'straight line' doesnt fit the situation. There has to be an absolute straight line somewhere..
christians may claim to have the 'straight line' and lots of you are saying that it cant be 'straight' because christians always use it as justification for their 'un -straight' actions..
but the fact that christians use the bible to justify doing awful things doesnt actually make the bible or god a flawed basis for our morality..
because if any of you here have actually read the bible and understand anything of it you would know that the bible can not be used to justify doing awful things....it cant...
people use the bible incorrectly...christians arent perfect but that doesnt make their god im-perfect...
The basis that God and the Bible cannot be used as a basis for morality because of how humans use it as a justification for wrong is flawed...
