Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes?

So who do you believe? Who do you listen to?

I believe that man is made in the image of God, and the Nazi’s treatment of people degrading them as livestock was deeply blasphemous, cruel and immoral. They did not love God with all of their heart and did not love their neighbour as themselves. So I conclude that the Nazis were evil and anyone today who continues to sympathise with them is evil.

That is really up to you. Whomever your personal morals align with the most. Or don’t listen to anyone and just rely on your own morals.

Basing your morals on “god” is just kicking the can down the road. First of all … which god? There is hundreds of them. And even if people agree on the god, they disagree on the interpretation of the morals. So you’re still left with the questions “So who do you believe? Who do you listen to?”.

  So if your personal morals align with Hitler, does that make it okay to be a nazi?
  
  I believe The Dude who lived a perfect life, was crucified, then rose from the dead is God.

    Whether or not something is ok is a moral judgement, so it again depends on who you ask. A nazi will of course think it’s ok … that’s probably why they are a nazi. If you asked me personally, I think it’s not ok.

    Right. But we haven’t heard of him in a while, so it’s kind of hard to consult with him on moral issues. And his book isn’t that comprehensive, contains some rather questionable takes and also is not really keeping up with a lot of more modern moral issues. Not to mention their is hundreds of different versions of the book and there is a lot of disagreement which is the “correct” one. So in the end it’s still up to you to decide which interpretation you like best.

    Except there isn’t really. That textual variants argument is mainly over spelling mistakes and random skipped words by scribes. Since there are hundreds of different manuscripts as they said, you can clearly track errors The most significant doctrine that’s impacted by it is the question over John 8:1-11.
