Even if there be a god, it is not OK to disagree with him? In Plato's Euthyphro, Socrates shows that God is not the only source of 'good.' For example, aside from Socrates, I ask, before Moses climbed the mountain, did his tribe of desert nomads not KNOW that killing and stealing were bad? Is something 'good'--back to Socrates now--because God ordains it, or does God ordain it because it is already 'good'?
(I hope fundamentalists do not think I am being rude to you, but my little question really isn't one that you can answer--your usual holier-than-thou babytalk is of no interest to me.)
