Moral compass?
When I read this my first thought was " huh? "
Moral sense comes from the knowledge of good and evil.
Are you speaking of moral understanding, as in what you have learned is moral/ immoral, or are you speaking of a sense of morality, as in what you feel may be moral/ immoral?
Seems to me the bible spells out what is moral/ immoral. This would seem to eliminate any need for a " sense " of morality that was derived from the knowledge of good and evil.
I don't argue that people may have some sort of internal morality measuring device but I don't believe it's so cut and dried that I would claim to know where it comes from.
did what he could in his clumsy way to keep his happy Children of the Garden from acquiring it.
You don't seem to have much respect for the God you claim to follow.

Greatest ? I think you're not.
You say:
There was no Bible in the time of Adam and Eve.
I say thats likely true, however if you read the book it says God WAS there. God was there to speak directly to Adam and Eve. No need for a book.
The God that most see in the Bible does not deserve man's respect.
How do you know what "most" see in the bible or anywhere else?
He kills us too often. If we saw a father resorting to violence to correct his children all the time we would say that he is not too bright and too lazy to use his head.
We see God doing the same and we adore him for it. rather stupid of so many.
So, if it's so stupid, why do you claim follow him?
Moral sense comes from the knowledge of good and evil.
You just ignore my question? Thats fine. I disagree. A moral "sense" does NOT come from the knowledge of good and evil. That would be a moral "understanding".
So, again, why would you follow a God that you feel does NOT deserve to be followed? I seriously do not understand. It seems as if you are merely pretending to follow God and that seems kinda odd to me.
Do you have some other agenda?
