Why do you think you know that?
Obviously someone gave you that ability to know what is right and what is wrong yes?
So in God's eyes, when we break His law, which is lying, stealing, murder, adultery etc..... it is a SIN. Sin is bad yes?
So God being the Creator and Our Lord, could wipe us off the face of the earth if He wanted to--YET He actually gave HIS life for us! So that we who believe would pass from hell which is what sin leads to---to life, which is eternity in heaven. THAT is LOVE! We dont' deserve His great love--I know I don't. And I want everyone to know how important salvation is in Him....We would not be here, if it was not for God. All glory belongs to HIM! And He has a plan for each and every one of us.....

Amen, sister. I see nothing wrong with your logic.

Um, no... evolution gave us the ability to know that.
You'll find that your argument holds absolutely no water if you just think about it for one second.
If a perfect being gave us all a conscience - or the sense of right and wrong, it would follow that we would have no arguments over what is right and what is wrong.
Why do we then? Because "right" and "wrong" are subjective, not absolute.
Either your God is an imbecile, a cruel prankster, or he didn't put a sense of right and wrong in us.

No. No one gave me the ability to know right from wrong. They are learned. Does god need to give me the ability to know that standing in front of an eighteen wheeler is dangerous too.

Don't try to justify religion with logic. It simply will not work. Knowing right from wrong is a feature a human learns as a child from his parents. Study psychology for details. As an adult, a human will also be able to decide what is right or wrong by reasoning and using his own mind.
That's the whole story, no god needed. Thanks.

But you understand that we made this concept of gods in our minds, therefore we make morality as we go along.
And also, things which the Christian God demands, are sometimes very immoral. (just try to google biblical acts of genocide to name a few) Which Christiannity is very proof of our fallibilty as human beings.

That's a really twisted story you're telling. Just imagine you were reading it in a book of Greek myths. You'd cringe and shudder and throw the book away.
That's what I did.
My dogs all knew right from wrong. So did my cat, even though he still did whatever it was he wanted. That ability is innate. No one 'gave' it go us, we're born with it.

Which God are you talking about ,the one who was crucified or the one who can wipe off the face of earth.

It doesn't take an omnipotent creator being to tell me the logic that some actions cause harm and suffering and some don't. Logic is very simple and evident... and an omnipotent creator being to me isn't.

Interesting, but pointless. You have yet to give any evidence to substantiate your claim of any God or Gods. Were I to say there was an empathetic purple duck farting humans into existence, it would be as plausable as your rant...

I know the difference between right and wrong. I do not think it is right that you are saying that a suicidal guy gave me that right.

You made a huge leap into oblivion there.
You went from "Why do you think you know that?" to hey, god exists.
