If the moral logic of heaven mean that we shouldn't condemn infanticide (after all it just gets souls to heaven faster, and heaven is way better than earth), isn't that a problem for Christian doctrine, not the author of this paper?
- rayiner 4y agoNo, because that paraphrasing is the author’s logic, not Christian doctrine.
- boxed 4y agoIt's not the doctrine. But it's the logical extrapolation.
- rayiner 4y agoIt’s not, because it assumes all sorts of things about the purpose of life and the afterlife, what’s “better,” and applies a utilitarian definition to the morality of killing.
- boxed 4y agoSure. It assumes torturing innocents is bad for example. Many religious people seem to not 100% back that assumption. I think that's a problem :P
