Hinduism vs. Christianity (was Punishment (Ron)

    Thanks for pointing out, far better than I ever could, that the
Christian God is just the ultimate bully in disguise.  After all, you
explicitly equated the state of affairs of being strong enough to keep from
being caught [or otherwise bearing responsibility for one's acts] for doing
as one wishes [right and wrong having no relevance here] with being God.

 The fact is, your ideas of what is right and wrong, moral or immoral, 
are determined by your Judeo-Christian cultural background. That's the 
problem with your liberal philosophies. You are still fueled by 
Christian concepts. Without them you degenerate to a culture based on 
power and strength, like in the former Soviet Union, where all their 
revolutionary ideals were thrown over by the powerful.

    Eurocentric/Judeo-Christian claptrap.  Other cultures, like those found
in India, China, Japan, etc., have developed ethical and moral codes without
any significant input from the Judeo-Christian cultural background.  By your
thesis, all we can expect from them are codes based on "might makes right",
but any investigation into these cultures plainly shows that their codes of
ethical and moral conduct are not based on this "dog-eat-dog" philosophy.
And since, as you've already stated, this stance of "might makes right" is
exactly God's position on morality and ethics, then I can only conclude that
Judeo-Christian ethics and morality are demonstrably inferior to those of
non-Judeo-Christian cultures.

 Explain this to the people dying in the streets of India while the cows 
are well cared for. It's just their bad karma I suppose. But you must 
have been born a non-Hindu because of some sinful behavior in a past 
life so you probably won't understand this. By the way this was intended 
to be facetious.
