I don't believe that cultural norms define morality, rather the opposite. Humanity is naturally desirous of virtue even if there a weakness within man...

(Y) Sorry to hear.

So if God is the greatest being conceivable he should be powerful enough to not give us a chance to do evil. After all, it is greater to keep someone ...

Thanks. :) I think the theory that morality is determined by culture is almost brain dead in a way because all you have to do is find a culture that s...

Yes, I think that psychologically people are different. As for why, I think it may be because of a combination of upbringing and personality. Nature v...

I have seen these before. Genesis chapter 9 is where the rabbis claim they are, right? I took a quiz online that labeled me a Platonist. Not sure if t...

What about all the times in the Old Testament when he said to such and such a nation that he would end them? Can God be on your side in the midst of d...

Definitely. Have you seen the Youtube video with the Professor from MIT on the problem of evil?

Happy to hear you've found your peace. Right. I have heard that Jews actually believe in a form of Pantheism/Panentheism? Is this true?

Hmmm, so describe yourself philosophically. Early 20s, I like metaphysics and philosophical method.

It seems to not take into account the person's experience of themselves, which is important to understand reality and what the person is trying to com...

I think it does to a certain extent. If eventually all decisions lead to God then God is the orchestrater of all actions. Meaning that man has essenti...

Some would say yes, others no. I align more with Immanuel Kant's theory of ethics. He basically says that ethics are driven by duty. You might be more...

Is God infinitely merciful and forgiving? And, is condemnation eternal conscious torment?

Responding to OP as well. I believe you are correct. I don't understand Anselm's psychology behind his statements. Just because you can imagine a flav...
