>Values are based in human empathy..
This is subjective. What about human psychopathic empathy: would you care for moral action from them? What about Hitlers mom - what if she didn't want him executed for his crimes - is that fair to the rest of humanity? How do you know you can trust even your own conscience - you might be crazy! I'm talking about absolute moral values - if they aren't absolute, then you are left with Nihilism. Alex Rosenberg, Professor of Philosophy at Duke at the end of a debate with William Lane Craig put it best when reading out of his own book - I'll link the reading here if you like.
>Does he... James 2:11 - For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Matt 5:18 - Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
>Yes he sent himself to act as scapegoat for people he made.. You realize your own depravity. Its up to you to walk the path or not. He is not going to force you, or create automatons.
Human life has value. Its morally reprehensible to kill kids and teachers in a school, or kill millions of Jews. Its wrong. However, the Atheist says ultimately that human life does not have value. So either its wrong and there is a God, or its not wrong and there isn't a God. That's the end of the road. So feel free to go on living in a dream world and pretending that doing good things will make you happier - its all just another self-serving expression. And morally, what you are doing is exactly like the rapist getting his jollies off hurting people - its what makes him feel better. Subjective morality equates both actions.
But you have to agree this is wrong. There is no way around it. Now if it is wrong - this this is evidence for there being a God - for a lot of reasons. So then God has something that he wants you to do. He wants you to not kill and rape people. He wants you to not go into a school and murder kids. He wants you to not lie. He want you to not be sexually immoral. He wants to you accept His plan for your life, and come back to Jesus.
Its not my rationalization - its this guys.
