Wacky Wednesday--Morality Doesn’t Matter

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~You can’t make yourself be good. Have you ever tried?
~You can’t choose your desires, and it is the desires of your heart that really define your goodness.
~All morality can do is teach you to not act upon your desires. But this only leads to frustration as you try to suppress your sinful tendencies.
~Ethics can’t be taught. Good people wind up having immoral children, and awful people wind up having decent children
~All people have sin, and all sins fully separate us from God, so what difference does it make which sins or how big they are?
~You’re saved by faith, not by works, anyhow, so what does it matter?
~You can’t prove what is right or wrong, which is really just a matter of opinion anyhow.
~There are four possibilities when you pronounce on morality
~1. You anger those who disagree with you
~2. You increase the frustration of people who agree with you but find themselves unable to change.
~3. You cultivate pride in the few people who can change.
~4. You cultivate contempt in the people who are lucky enough to already be in the morally superior category.
