Moral Acts
#80
RE: Moral Acts
Absolutely. Anything that involves any sort of value judgement cannot be objective, by definition.

A lot of theists are uncomfortable with that. They want there to be a correct value judgement. But that's a contradiction. You can want it all you like, it can't happen.

The only place we have true objectivity is within our own created abstract systems. Everything else is ultimately speculation and interpretation. I'm thinking of doing a video on this, funnily enough.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
