A question for those who believe in God.

Masala:

A little more detail on the art of killing.

The candle-body will leave the bones and teeth. The marrow will sputter and burn, but it will not hide some tell-tale signs of the victim.

Such as bone breaks.

The skull will have its own plaintiff disclosures, especially the dental record - fillings the bite mark.

Filing the teeth before the burning will do most of the trick to hide that clue from the FBI's forensic's, but fillings and the like would require the transporting of the head and, therefore, the body, which would ruin the whole intent of the candle extinguishing.

There is no perfect murder. It's better to plan the disposal of the body far before the act is committed.

Thanks Rob B,

I kind of figured that after the second post, but since we all struggle with these issues, I felt the need to carry on debating.


I do have one last question for Sleeve however:
------------------------------------------------------------
We know what it is like to suffer, therefore we empathize with that suffering and deem it evil.

From that we deduce that it is wrong to feel pain and suffering, or inflict it onto others.

Virtue is a standard created by man in order to supress man's inherent desire for selfishness. Societies could not function unless there were rules of conduct.

Virtue was formed out of necessity, not for any unspoken realm of good and evil.

>>If you are saying that horrible suffering isn't what ought to be- it means that you have a notion of what ought to be- and this notion corresponds to something real which is in reality a Supreme Good-another name for God.<<

No suffering is inevitable, and I accept it based on human terms and natural, inevitable terms. It is not an entity, but whatever we deem as unacceptable. In many cases it is a relative feeling.

------------------------------------------------------------
You have just admited that man distinquishes between good and evil. If that is your foundation, why blame God for it, because evil is only evil because you say it is evil, therefore you have really created the standard for evil, and not God?

"In many cases it is a relative feeling."

Do you realize that some countries hug people and others eat them all on the basis of feeling. What is your preference?


More later, got to go now

Thanks for the tip Gargoyle.
