I recognize that my moral claim to act in accordance with the dictates of my own will, is predicated upon my willingness to respect the same ability in others. Hence I recognize the initiation of force or fraud as immoral under all circumstances.
What reason do you have not to go out and kill some little girl?
If the only reason you don't kill little girls is because God says it is against his rules and he'll punish you... I'd suggest that your moral sense is shallow indeed.
Youre just a good person not to kill..how nice... I would hate to meet someone like you who wasnt nice and had no respect for the law because it was derived from men who looked at a greater being as a guide.
But what's more, anyone who uses the biblical God's will as basis for their morality must then also accept his will as morally correct if he decides to command the killing of little girls, as he has done in the past according to the Old Testament. I've heard many preachers defend the extermination of the Canaanites as morally correct. They obviously believe it was soley due to the fact that they believe God commanded it.
