God could force all of us to be perfect. To be His "mindless" robots and all of us would then do exactly what He wanted, but then how would God know if we really loved him or not? If you are in love with someone, wouldn't you at some point want to know if the
y truly loved you back or were just in the relationship because they had to be? That is the way it is with us.
Woah woah woah! Are you saying we can hide our thoughts and intentions from god? Awesome!
Morality: Using empathy as a guide for human interaction. AKA, "treat others the way you want to be treated" and "put yourself in my shoes". It has nothing inherently to do with the bible.
Only empathy will lead to utilitarianism. If Hitler thought what he was doing to the Jews would improve the life of everyone on the earth, and save them from the evil destructive Jews, on what basis do you criticize him?
Doesn't "everyone" include Jews? I would criticize him on assuming that Jews aren't included in the "everyone" group, and that he doesn't think they want their lives improved just like everyone else.
I thought Jews didn't care about creature comforts and thought they were "goyishe." Jews just want all the money. Not that they spend it on anything but they just want it. Or am I mixing up my stereotypes?
