I recently attended a debate, theists vs atheists on "Can there be good without God?"
Questions were taken from the floor at the end. One attendee stated that if the atheists were only willing to argue subjective good, they were giving the debate to the theists.
While I agree this would likely have seen the theists win on points, it was neither picked up by them, nor was the debate formal enough to see either side declared winners.
Can atheists argue for an objective ethics?
Comments?
What do you mean they were "only willing to argue subjective good"? Should they have argued something else? If so, what, and why?
How were they "giving the debate to the theists"? Answering this might explain why, in your opinion, the theists might then win on points.
What are objective ethics anyway? What is your definition of objective ethics? What is it of subjective ethics?
It is nice to know you are happy, but what is your position? What are you saying? If you refer to the debate, please cite a time stamp in the web-available video.
