The video was about proving this. It wasn't about proving objective morality exists, but that if you do believe in that, you should believe in God.
Then everyone went off all sorts of red herrings and we talked about all sorts of topics.
You know what I remember when I first came on these forums. People always said that William Lane Craig was making up that premise out of his ass. Well this thread shows reasons that indicate it is true.
People than went off topic with all sorts of things. Her original OP was to the point. It's her view that objective morality and God go together. A lot of Atheists in fact agree upon this, but deny objective morals existing.
^This.
The only thing I would change is the part that objective morality proves God exists. To me, objective morality makes a strong case for God's existence. And as I explained earlier on in the thread, it makes no sense to me for it not to exist. It makes no sense to me that things like rape and torture and murder are just matters of opinion, and not inherently evil acts.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
