Objective reality and Morality

Some things I haven't come to grips with yet as a Christian thinker.  When I attempt agree that truth is objective, and and apply the "rate it 1-10" scale on everything, I come eventually to morality.  Do i help Marvin, who is a man who should have a full-time caretaker, because he is so feeble, and can hardly walk, but is driving to the hospital three times a week and checking into hotels every night in between because he ran or got kicked out of the Old folks home he was in?  Or do i continue about my life in my scheduled events, going to classes and not getting in trouble by my professor, and going to paint with my fellow students at the Gospel Mission Center?

If Truth or for that matter morality is objective than why do we need a God?

I purtose a post!


So, the holidays are over and I feel like ... crap.  That's because you are you what you eat and i have had 3x the servings of it this season.  Whether it's culture or me eating my emotions, it's bad and i don't like it.  I feel sloth-like and often times just in a bad mood for no reason.

I was thinking earlier, "what's worse, wasting food or overeating?" 

I have come to the conclusion that overeating is worse because not only does your body not use the food, but it's unhealthy.  In essence overeating is killing yourself slowly, while still wasting the food.  Not saying can't indulge now and again, i am saying this because in my case, every time I like what I am eating I go back for more, and I haven't found much that I don't like!

So I purpose a toast, to a new year, and another attempt at changing deeply formed habits, that effect me and everyone around me!
