And...You don't know me if you think I eat pork. And don't get me started on mankind's version of "natural and clean", like Monsanto.<br /><br />No, Rosemary, pigs are still unclean, and morality has not changed, God's covenant has. Here is my take on unclean foods that we still avoid. Why? Certainly not to get us to heaven, but because it's great wisdom. <br /><br />Although God did not reveal the specific reasons some animals may be eaten and others must be avoided, we can make generalized conclusions based on the animals included in the two categories.<br /><br />In listing the animals that should not be eaten, God forbids the consumption of scavengers and carrion eaters, which devour other animals for their food.<br /><br />Animals such as pigs, bears, vultures and raptors can eat (and thrive) on decaying flesh. Predatory animals such as wolves, lions, leopards and cheetahs most often prey on the weakest (and at times the diseased) in animal herds.<br /><br />When it comes to sea creatures, bottom dwellers such as lobsters and crabs scavenge for dead animals on the sea floor. Shellfish such as oysters, clams and mussels similarly consume decaying organic matter that sinks to the sea floor, including sewage. Shrimp are even known as the cockroaches of the ocean. <br /><br />A common denominator of many of the animals God designates as unclean is that they routinely eat flesh that would sicken or kill human beings. When we eat such animals we partake of a food chain that includes things harmful to people.<br /><br />As nutritionist David Meinz observes: "Could it be that God, in His wisdom, created certain creatures whose sole purpose is to clean up after the others? Their entire 'calling' may be to act exclusively as the sanitation workers of our ecology. God may simply be telling us that it's better for us believers not to consume the meat of these trash collectors" (Eating by the Book,1999, p. 225).Debunking Atheists https://www.blogger.com/profile/09738373112032154790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771612431511732960.post-70150132753702050382014-09-29T06:13:59.663-04:002014-09-29T06:13:59.663-04:00Since you currently eat pig and a whole lot of oth...Since you currently eat pig and a whole lot of other "unclean" animals it is clear that *your* morality has changed. So you have no argument for moral absolutes here. Your morality is just as fickle. The only difference is that you have to justify it by appealing to external authority - in this case, the writings of Paul or Tarsus who disagreed on this issue, and others, with the original followers of Jesus.

You have just invoked a moral law, or standard in raising that claim that your worldview cannot account for. Are you absolutely certain that empathy is moral? If so, how are you certain?<br /><br />Is morality absolute as you appear to be saying, being "independent" of things, including religion? If so, how is morality absolute in an atheistic worldview? Otherwise, it stems from personal feeling, opinion or preference. <br /><br />My buddy Thomas just posed this same question earlier today, so the question is fresh on my mind. The question is, why should anyone of differing opinion suffer under your definition of what is 'right' or 'wrong'? Just because you call your opinion, moral? <br /><br />The point is that the necessary elements of morality (i.e. universality, absolute, and "independent") comport with my worldview, and not with yours.<br /><br />Would it be "wrong" if an Atheist had a sense of survival of the fittest instead of empathy? If so, how is it wrong? How do you get an ought from an is? D. A.

Any society which allowed such behavior among its population would swiftly become extinct and other more socially benevolent ones would take its place. <br /><br />But if you really wish to make this a moral issue; atheists do not eat babies due to empathy and a sense of right and wrong. They make a moral choice. How then do morals play a part in a theist's decision making when scripture may tell them to engage in aberrant behavior? As Scarlet Letter addressed above, there are instances in the Bible which condone highly immoral acts, some of which are directly condoned by the Biblical god. To follow that god's commands may mean choosing between morality and divine mandate, so we cannot assume that morality is derived from any god. <br /><br />Morality is independent of religion, and if we consider the reasons for moral behavior such as fear of divine retribution which many theists fear, then it can be argued that only non-believers are truly moral, as they are not following their morality out of fear and coercion, but rather out of a genuine desire to do what they believe to be the right thing.
