Dawkins sounds like Israel in the turbulent, tragic, and twisted time of the Judges : “Every man did that which was right in his own eyes.”

Part of image and likeness is some sense of morality and ethics. Due to the Fall, our understanding of these is seriously distorted, and we can only understand morals and ethics from a revelatory point of view.

NewBeg the question much?

I had to laugh at Dawkins on this one.
So… just where does the moral philosophy, jurisprudence and dinner table conversation come from? … and where does that come from, etc.?

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
