Another theory is you can't answer my question, and you are hiding behind the excuse that I am not worth the effort.

My worldview is built upon my belief in God as revealed in the Bible. What is your worldview built upon?

My worldview is built on nearly five decades of reading books about history, religion, philosophy, anthropology and, most of my adult life, living an active, productive, eclectic life in half a dozen different cultures around the world .

You claimed that someone who is 'angry with his brother' is equally as "evil" as someone who murders millions of people. Not me. I don't think someone who is 'angry with his brother' is "evil" at all, whereas I think that someone who murders millions of people is. It's ludicrous. The 'all evil is equally evil' doctrine is yours, not mine.

I said in God eyes, if you get angry with your brother you may as well have murdered him, so it is written in the Bible.

Without the existence of God, there is no real reason why 'good' and 'evil' should exist in the first place.

But you are not worth the effort, in my view. What else can I say about that? And 30,000 or so posts ~ most of them forthright enough to rub a fair few people up the wrong way ~ on a Spirituality Forum ~ can hardly be described as "hiding"

So why did you just contradict me and say: "You are the one that said they are equally evil" when a couple of posts later, here, you admit it is your view after all?

If it is your belief in "the existence of God" that stops you from murdering millions of people, then I welcome it, and say good for you.

You have everything but 'forthright' in answering my simple straightforward question.

Be that as it may ~ tell yourself whatever you want. I'm telling myself that you're a poster who is not worth the effort. 😛

I did not say muderering one person is the same as mudering millions.

But you have a problem that it encourages me not to get angry with my brother? Or not to repay evil with evil?

Getting angry with one's brother is OK. I don't think it's "evil".

What you said was getting angry with one's brother, looking at someone lustfully, and murdering 6,000,000 people were all equally evil.

Why is something evil in the first place? Is it only evil because you decide it is? If you change your mind about something does it's 'evil' status also change?

Those actions are all sinful, I may be wrong but I am not in a position to say one sin is worse than another, God will decide.
