Quote:Objective morality has been discussed many times on these forums, and many times by me. A lot of times I feel like I have a hard time trying to explain objective morality or why objective morality makes sense to me, which in turn helps make the existence of a god make sense to me. It isn't the only reason by far, but it is part of it.
I saw this short video today and thought Kreeft summed up all my thoughts in a way that I never felt I could accurately do.
I don't agree with the part where he says people "think they are atheists", but as for his explanation of morality, I couldn't have put it better myself.

Whether you agree or not, it's still an interesting issue to discuss.
I read this as someone inviting people she trusts to discuss with her something she knows she is in the minority on where they are concerned. She doesn't make any brash claims but neither does she disown what she in fact believes .. and perhaps is wrestling with. I don't think special pleading applies here.
That's fair. And to your point, I was very happy to respectfully disagree with her on the subject of her logic a few pages ago and not belabor the point, but she insisted that I, personally, accused her of believing rape is okay. Which I do not. I felt it was important for me to explain to her that I DO NOT think that. I don't know how to make that any more clear here.
