You mentioned a natural disposition put into people by god- is this the same in everyone, or does it differ in each individual?

If so, why?

Not sure if this is a correct observation or not, but it seemed like only men were on the mat during the prayer. Is this part of the regular tradition? If so, why? ]]> 2022-04-11 08:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138856947 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138862839 How can one be a good person if everyone has different understandings of you? You cannot please everyone in life, therefore perfection is impossible.

Is it not impossible to be a “good” person as a different version of yourself exists inside the head of everyone you meet - and due to human relationships and nature this means an amoral picture of you will exist within at least one persons life - by doing what one person wishes of us we deny another of what they wish - perfection is therefore impossible is it not?]]> 2022-04-11 08:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138862839 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138867654 How does the universal standard work in situations where both outcomes will hurt people? Is it a random choice?

How does the Universal standard account for matters such as the trolley problem - if you are given the choice between saving two lives but you can only save one - how do you decide, if the universal standard determines what is right, and therefore what God says is right, do we choose to save they who has sinned less or is it a random choice? How does the universal standard account for situations where both outcomes hurt people?]]> 2022-04-11 08:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138867654 geelongcu https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138868321 Can you only be a good person if you believe in Jesus/are a Christian?]]> 2022-04-11 08:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138868321 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138872786 How does morality fit into determinism? ]]> 2022-04-11 08:51:34 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138872786 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138874189 Why should we try to be good if we are forgiven by Jesus' death and resurrection?

If Jesus dies on the cross for humanity to absolve them of sin - then if we are United to Jesus and thus privy to that source of infinite good, then what point is there to being good? If we will be forgiven through faith to Jesus then does that therefore enable us to be absolved of all guilt from immoral or “bad” actions as faith elevates us from blame?]]> 2022-04-11 08:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138874189 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138874254 How does your stance on morality impact how you live your day to day life?]]> 2022-04-11 08:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138874254 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138875219 How do you personally define goodness? Is this reliable, arbitrary or consistent?

What is your “yardstick” by which all goodness can be defined? Is it a reliable “yardstick”? How do we know if it is arbitrary or consistent?]]> 2022-04-11 08:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138875219 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138877419 Would a morally good person choose to pull the lever in the trolley problem, therefore killing one person to save five? ]]> 2022-04-11 08:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138877419 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138878839 How/why did Jesus die, given he is also God/Son of God? Why did he need to die, instead of God just forgiving our sins?

As you mentioned, Jesus Crucified, my question is how a son of God can be crucified by normal human being? Why God didn’t save him, if he was his Son? 
If Jesus is God and according to Christianity he died because of our sins so why didn’t he just forgive those sins because he’s almighty he can do anything.

Can truth really be put into a category that no-one can make assertive statements because there are simply other ways to view it? Can we just say goodness should be decided by the society, not by what is true?]]> 2022-04-11 08:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138879933 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138880089 Do we need an absolute? How do we deal when truth is not an absolute?

Do what extent is it important to have an absolute truth/moral agent in our world? How do we reconcile a world where truth is purely subjective with no absolutes?]]> 2022-04-11 08:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138880089 geelongcu https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138880949 2022-04-11 09:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138880949 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138884989 When do social contracts become legal instead of moral? Why are they important if there are no absolute truths? Why follow what others determine?

At what point do social contracts stop being moral and become legal? Why should we obey social contracts if there is no reward for us - if morals are what is true and absolute truths cannot be found then why are social contracts significant? Why not just live short hedonistic lives if there is no point to existence rather than following guidelines laid down by others?]]> 2022-04-11 09:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138884989 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138885955 What happens to laws/contracts if they are determined by eternal entities, or if they're no longer alive?

You mentioned that you shouldn’t follow a law or contract if someone has died. 
What should you do if there are laws that have been eternally created by an eternal entity? 
If the law makers have died, then should the law(s) be no longer followed, what is the objective foundation for society to function, and for human to human to interact?   ]]> 2022-04-11 09:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138885955 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138886900 How do you find your personal moral sense?

Your talk mainly highlights the pain and pleasure principle. 
Where do you place a mother doing abortion on a scale of morality?
In essence, where does your personal moral sense emerge from? ]]> 2022-04-11 09:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138886900 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138888575 How do you deal with competition of simultaneous social contracts? Do you need to find another society if you disagree with the government?

What are we to do if the moral topography of western society is too fissured to reconcile -that there are two simultaneous social contracts competing for this same landscape? Is it right to say that those not subscribing to the governing social contract should go find another society?]]> 2022-04-11 09:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138888575 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138892734 What's the point of the Bible if we're sinful?

(Discernment)

You mention a difference between thr non-Christian idea of following ones own desires or "being myself" and following my heart as created by God. How can I recognise what are my own desires and what is from God? "Following Jesus" seems quite vague and abstract. ]]> 2022-04-11 09:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138902608 https://padlet.com/geelongcu/w98v13vojgw3rdj4/wish/2138904988 Why does God get to do bad things and still be called good? eg flooding from Genesis
