We don’t need the Bible to know we have a moral obligation   

Ashvin, I just read this. It's been over a year since I reviewed that passage. I find it useful as a reminder that we don’t need the Bible to know we have a moral obligation to worship God and give thanks to Him. I provide it for you to use in your arguments with those who love to mock scripture. They don't have a logical leg to stand on but they never stop trying to pretend they are being reasonable and ethical. So it goes.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness, because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened” (Romans 1:18–21, NET; emphases added).

Gandhi, though not a Christian, explained the principles of morality in human behavior by detailing what IMMORALITY in human behavior is. Everyone that has two brain cells to rub together is well aware of how celebrated that immorality is in modern culture. Of course most of them think morality (and immorality) came from natural selection and random mutations. They also think immoral, devious behavior is an evolutionary mark of intelligence because meat eating predators use tricks to fool their prey while those that aren't meat eaters don't. We know better.

Gandhi's Seven Sins:
1. Wealth without work
2. Pleasure without conscience
3. Knowledge without character
4. Commerce without morality
5. Science without humanity
6. Worship without sacrifice
7. Politics without principle

Agelbert NOTE: The COMMON GROUND on the seven Wall Street principles of Evolutionary Success above is: The ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness.


Anyone who thinks Gandhi became aware of these human failings because he was "highly evolved" is a DELUDED FOOL.
