Is God an Imaginary Being?

Some might think God an imaginary being and ask, what good is it to compare ourselves to something made up? The answer is that if God is an imaginary being, he is a being very easy to imagine. That is because we can see ourselves and the other creatures around us. If we can see what is different between a beast and a man, then it is not hard to imagine what would be the next step after man. If we can see inside ourselves which are the better and which are the worst capacities, then we can imagine a being with only those better capacities. If we can see that these better capacities that we possess are still imperfect in us, then we can imagine them perfected. Not only the Bible but also the classic authors conclude that nature points to the heavens.

Responsibility?

Have we reached the ultimate stage of absurdity where some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, while other people are not held responsible for what they themselves are doing today?

No Absolutes?

If there is no absolute by which to judge society, society is absolute.

Choose Wisely

Much of life is shaped by choices we make. We do not choose what happens to us; we choose how to react to what happens to us.

Love Must Be About More Than Externals

A man who loves a woman only for her beauty doesn’t love her. Those relationships are doomed to end sooner or later—often sooner. But well-meaning parents and a well-meaning society do young women no favor by denying the importance of looks in attracting a man. And a woman does neither herself nor her marriage a favor if she denies the importance to her husband and therefore their marriage of her trying to remain physically attractive. . . . 

It is often countered that men’s looks are also important. But they are rarely as important as a man’s personality, masculinity, brains, power, or wealth in attracting a woman. The power of the visual in men is simply far greater than the power of the visual in women. The fact that physical attractiveness is not distributed at all equally… is one of the many built-in unfair features of life.

Bad Company Corrupts Good Morals

In evil societies, it is difficult not to participate in evil. Human nature is to go along with the crowd. Hence, the importance of avoiding living among bad people, unless one is strong enough to work to make a bad society better.

The Reason for Capital Punishment

Society teaches how bad an action is by the punishment it metes out. Only when a society takes the life of a murderer is it announcing in the clearest way possible that murder is the ultimate sin. Keeping every murderer alive makes no such announcement—even if it involves life imprisonment. Life in prison is a harsh punishment—but the murderer, while not free to leave prison, is allowed to keep his life.

Self-Control

One might say self-control is the most important achievement we can attain. That many parents work harder to instill self-esteem than self-control in their children is a moral tragedy. And, ironically, no self-esteem can equal the self-esteem that derives from self-control.

Dennis Prager, The Rational Bible: Genesis: God, Creation, and Destruction, pg.67

One Man, One Woman Only

By ending Adam’s alone-state by making one woman—not more than one woman, not another man, not children, and not a community of people—God is declaring the human ideal is that a single man bond with a single woman.
