onecae replied to Lucas M. Tavares's discussion 'Can someone explain all this "relative morals" thing?'"The thing is that although the Bible exists, "god" doesn't exist.

Matthew 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

We know that God (in one sense of the word "is") is…
