Both. Everything God says is good, he speaks when he feels it to be good and the command itself is good on the account of it coming from God. There is no contradiction in this question. Here's my question for you, why do you so scorn the man who lives to help his fellow man and only wishes that everyone can be in eternal bliss once life has run its course? What is it about having love for all God's creations that repulses you so? Do you not believe yourself worthy of love, and therefore have decided that no one else is either? God still loves you friend and he always will, you still have a chance to repent as long as you live so what then makes you feel so wretched?

There is no contradiction here.
On account of his perfection, and being the only perfect being in existence, God can only do good (although this should not be taken in a restrictive sense), and everything he does is essentially good.
In fact it could not be any other way. A perfect being can only do good and everything he does is good on account of his perfection.

Again, there is no contradiction here. If I were to play your game, I'd assent to the first side, because in the performative sense of being ordered, no, a command of God isn't sufficient in itself to make it good.
It is in the authoritative sense however, that it is validated. God's authority is founded in His perfection. Because of His perfection, His actions coincides entirely with his nature.
The dumb but approximately correct answer (given our capacity to understand the transcendental) is that God can do evil but would never do it. The correct and appropriate answer would require an exegesis of the implication of perfection that is way beyond my capacity (way to high right now).

My understanding of God comes from his word, and even then I misunderstand it since I know myself to be imperfect and so I look to God for guidance. You, however, see yourself as perfect with your rejection of the higher power, and foolishly believe yourself to be the highest power. This narcissistic crusade is based only on your refusal to accept your shortcomings and to give trust to forces outside your control. You lash out at God because you cannot understand him and therefore you cannot control him. You curse and writhe at the implication that you are not God, but that you are subject to God.
It is truly sad, the difference between you and I is that I can admit that I am fallible, but that only leads to improvement through giving thought to what I do, and taking action based on the teachings of Christ. To do this has never once led me to ruin, but to better places. You, in your unending obsession with yourself, can never accept the idea of being lesser and in turn you have done naught but descend to the dirt, ironically making you lesser than even the common fool. The fool is at least ignorant to his folly and can be made aware of it. You have made your choice in that you wouldn't serve God if he came to the earth today. A sad sight indeed.

>So the good itself exists apart from good
In my understanding, as a Catholic, yes, being Good is an attribute of God, it coincides with His perfection, not merely his divinity or ontological position. He isn't to be obeyed because he's on top of the pyramid, so to speak, but because as the being on the very toppest possible peak of the pyramid, all He is and do is wise and good and proper, and if we seek to have even just a fraction of his wisdom, we should listen to Him, especially since He has revealed Himself.
>why not cut out the middle man and apprehend the good myself
You can 100% do so. The Church is absolutely clear that people that lived in accordance with God's values, despite not being Catholics, are going to be redeemed. The danger is that living a good life without a connection to God can lead you to atheism, and the Church believes that it is perilous for your soul to explicitly reject God.

Would religious discussion be banned from the aforementioned boards? I would imagine a renaissance of sorts on 4chan with the advent of a /rel/, but mitigated by a sort of more effective containment than /pol/ (ironically it is easier to suppress Christ worship than Hitler idolatry across this website).

Where would one be allowed to discuss Augustine? Aquinas? Athanasius? ...

Would Plato be welcome on /rel/? Aristotle?
How much of /x/? Gnostic freemasonic topics and the like?
What if we could debate on the 4chan canon of scripture?

Would this benefit any one party in the cold "culture"war? Would Christianity resurge, only to be overtaken by Islam?

I do not look to you for any permission heathen, I do not condemn anyone to Hell, people condemn themselves.

You are useless, your ideas repulsive to anyone who is productive. Your lack of integrity is apparent, your self esteem is far too inflated for anyone to tell where it starts and where it ends, you seem to believe yourself the most intelligent being ever to have existed and yet you have nothing to show for it.

Listen you can do better than just sputtering about medieval times as if literally no other culture was ever evil and retarded except this one. Why do you not seem to have any anger at the ways of the Muslim even though a lot of their teachings heavily reflect the things you seem to hate about Christians? Christians at least had a reformation, which is to say, an admission of fault and an action to change, eventually leading to the Renaissance. I have yet to see a Muslim or a Jewish reformation and yet I don't see any of you giving them as much grievance as you do the Christians. Smells fishy to me...

Again, you are talking about a void. What void? Your desire for a skydaddy is not 'filling the void', it's daddy issues, pure and simple. Human life is not a dichotomy between worshipping a kike on a stick and hedonism.

Consider yourself lucky for being born in the US. the serf, meanwhile, is dying of tuberculosis, measles or some other easily preventable disease, while a man in a white cloth sprinkles water on him and chants scripture.

It's kind of unfortunate that materialist today is synonymous with last man. This thread is sad evidence of that fact.

>muh atheism always leads to hedonism or consumerism
I have never seen it lead to anything else when dealing on a massive scale
>The megachurches are filled with good bois who dindu nuffin. Surely all those private jets and merchandising is the will of God.
What are false prophets? Revelations predict these guys dude, any Christian of substance knows they're crocks of shit.

The void of the soul, where in a religious man the Holy Spirit occupies it and completes the individual, there is no such thing to occupy it for an atheist since technically they don't even believe in souls. Then they are left wondering why they are depressed, why everyone around them is depressed, and why nothing they do is making it go away.

I have yet to see a perfectly atheist society stay intact and not crumble within 50 or so years of becoming atheist. In the absence of religion, depravity surely takes its place whether immediately or eventually.

Americans are dying of diabetes, congenital heart failure and slow organ failure due to their excessive weight. That is even more preventable than anything you just mentioned. Oh but they have science to save them! Inept doctors only there for the paycheck and the hero status botch them, pump them full of drugs and then put the patient into lifelong debt to artificially lengthen the time they have left to suffer, how nice! Now they can experience the deterioration of their memory along with their rotting bodies. At least the serf and die with dignity and hope, Americans don't even get that much.

Honestly it's tiring arguing with you morons. You bunch all atheists into a group even though you'll find that nearly all of them have differing ways of thinking. Yet you cry and whine when people do the same with your Christian denominations.
>>18599034
Yes anon, it's the doctors who are out to get the fat American. Not the American himself who stuffs his face full of garbage. After all what greater dignity than to die in battle for an inbred king or dying to diarrhea because you don't understand basic hygiene. Truly the glory of medieval times cannot be overlooked!

When the Muslim believes in Allah, or the Hindus their plethora of gods, what is filling them? No, it is not the holy spirit filling the religious man, it is purely self-serving psychological cope.
>I have yet to see a perfectly atheist society stay intact and not crumble within 50 or so years of becoming atheist
A Roman emperor declares christianity the state religion, and the decline and fall of the Roman Empire follows - coincidence?

Some people react to the mention of the Bible as if possessed. Let them keep kvetching.

That is because atheist societies are a recent phenomenon, and in a world of exponential growth and development, what would've taken hundreds of years in the past only takes decades today. Even so, China, an economic superpower with formidable military strength as well as a high iq per capita, has state enforced atheism, and it shows no signs of decline.

If it's philosophical it can be on /lit/ or /his/, if it's supernatural it can be on /x/. This can account for much religious discussion.
