RE: The Moral Argument for God

December 3, 2015 at 9:52 pm

I do not think it is a serious apologetic argument. At best it is an appeal to consequences, as in Dostoevsky's "If God does not exist then anything is permissible." If someone, an atheist perhaps, thinks that anything actually is permissible then he has no reason to look for a source of moral absolutes. The problem is when unbelievers want to have their cake and eat it too.
