On Christ and Moral Clarity

You kind of do need God to have a foundation for morality. And here's why.

Friedrich Nietzsche said that good and evil didn't exist. Hume said morality was made precedent on Law, and not universals.

So, in the world today, "Moral" just means what society agrees upon. That's kind of its little catch all, you're an immoral person, if you divert from the social norm. You're a moral person, if you don't.

So, this is a problem, because in societies such as Rome or the Aztecs, it wasn't uncommon for people to do the most horrific crimes, and that was a matter of custom. People did it, as often as we watch TV or play video games. And such things involved every capital offense imaginable. Even the worst ones you can imagine. Things that if someone did today, they'd be locked in jail, and the key would be thrown away. And everyone did it. So, that's kind of the problem with Hume's Argument.

The problem with Neitzsche's, is that you can objectively see patterns in the world, that affirm the good. So, like a geometric proof, the good becomes self evident, where we can observe and measure it. Things like peace, and love, and joy and kindness, and gentleness, and goodness, and self control, and patience and reliability.

So, you generally find in this, evidence for the Good, so if there's Good, that exists outside of human judgment, there must be a God. Because it's not precedent on human judgment, but something self evident, which is established in a higher orderer and establisher.

And I move to Christianity, because Christ's law is self evident. He spoke the most truth, and the gospels can be corroborated as witnesses, and He raised from the dead, and fulfilled 300 messianic prophecies or more. So, obviously, this is the true religion, based on Christ being witnessed, His deeds and moral teachings which give us clarity on what's right and wrong, and His fulfillment of Prophecies.
