Socrates: In what area of life will the believer know right and wrong as a result of believing in God? Preacher: The knowledge of God permeates our whole being in every aspect of our lives. Socrates: How about right and wrong regarding the architectural design of buildings? Preacher: No. Morality is not about this kind of right and wrong. Preacher: Morality is about right and wrong regarding the treatment of other human beings. Socrates: And does this moral and right treatment serve to benefit a person or does it hurt them? Preacher: Moral behavior always serves to the benefit of humanity. Socrates: Then this moral knowledge from God is expressed in behavior that benefits people? Preacher: Yes. Socrates: Who would know more about the beneficial treatment of people who need a cure for their sickness? Is it the believer in God or a doctor? Preacher: A doctor, although healing is sometimes possible through prayer. So it is proven that morality is about doing good to people than just beleiving in God.
