I'll just grant that Christianity is fake. Regardless, it's still best ethical frame work to govern society with. Who has a better ethical framework? The atheist/secularists have a subjective stance dependent view on morals. How can something be immoral if everything you believe is dependant on stance. Where the Christian has a objective moral stance to appeal too. Its unchanging and concrete.
Yes it is fake thanks for acknowledging. Even though this thread isn't about the efficacy, christianity doesn't provide best ethical framework not even close. If you did exactly as the bible instructs you would be in jail.
Most if not all ethical framework that we have today didn't originate from the bible.
Christian god's objectivity rests on faith-based presuppositions not emperical verifiable facts. You cannot claim objective morality stance without engaging in circular logic or subjective religious preference.
The Euthyphro Dilemma: Originating from Plato, this dilemma challenges the connection between God and goodness by asking: Is something good because God commands it, or does God command it because it is good?
Arbitrariness Horn: If actions are good solely because God commands them, morality becomes arbitrary. In this view, God could theoretically command murder or theft, and those acts would instantly become "good." This makes morality a product of divine whim rather than intrinsic value.
Independence Horn: If God commands actions because they are already good, then morality exists independently of God. This implies a standard of goodness higher than or external to God, which contradicts the claim that God is the ultimate source and sovereign of all reality.
The "Nature" Response: While theologians often argue that God’s nature solves this (God cannot command evil because His nature is good), this merely shifts the problem. It raises the question of whether God’s nature is good by definition (circular) or if it adheres to an external standard of "goodness" that defines what a "good nature" looks like.
