Oh my morality..
From http://www.christianity.co.nz/moralit3.htm
"Morality begins with the character of God. There is no other foundation for it. And the sort of morality that really matters depends on the sort of God that really exists. The God I will be talking about here is not any old god such as humans have dreamed up over the centuries. It is the God who created this universe, who has made himself known through his dealings with chosen people through history and supremely through coming himself into our human existence in the person of Jesus Christ. If you don't believe in this sort of God then we will have to deal with that issue before we can have any meaningful discussion about morality."
Hands up anybody who has heard of utilitarianism? If you haven't, get off your fat lazy arse and google it. If you have, well I'm preaching to the choir.
