Re: Secularism and Atheism
Im not saying things are moral by nature. Im posing to you a philosophical dilemma that was proposed by plato.
Question is simply this.
Is something moral because God made it so, or is it moral because he saw that it was moral and told us.
If it is moral because God made it so, then moral/immoral is arbitrary.
If it is moral by its nature, then that implies a standard outside of God…
So for those of us who feel we need an ultimate arbitrator to determine right from wrong, doesn’t citing god only raise more questions, not less?
If Atheists have difficult questions to answer, then so do the religious.
