Subjectivity in the Moral Claims of Scriptures
-
Peace to all my friends here
We all believe Quran to be Lord's Word. Lets talk about this...
When we have a myriad of RELIGIOUS SCRIPTURES rolling around, to give a few examples
-
Bible
-
Old Testament
-
Zend Avesta (from Iran)
-
Bhagvad Gita (from India)
-
Ramayana (from India)
-
Vedas (from India)
and many more....
Now all religions claim that their scriptures teach people to do good
The problems lie in the What the Hell is Good?
What I mean by this is ......Good is by its nature too Subjective to be defined correctly.... We do NOT many times find this problem here......But if we have a forum involving the people from ALL RELIGIONS..... We would lose our TIME and RESOURCES.... arguing about Which Scripture is the BEST???
What I mean is
Eating Pork is Haraam...... Now it is Haraam because God has told us NOT to eat it...... Not because it has parasites or germs in its body......
IF LORD HAD TOLD SHEEP TO BE HARAAM, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO.....
Now in the VEDAS,
EATING NON VEG IS UNDESIRABLE OR SOMEWHAT LIKE HARAAM.....
Now a man born in traditional HINDU family, like my friends would HATE NON VEG FOODS......
And say that they are Haraam.....
So how do We Go On PROVIN That Quran is the BEST MORAL CODE when we don't even have the DEFINITON of a GOOD MORAL CODE..???
Please HELP ME WITH THIS......
Peace
