Objective morality as a proper basic belief
RE: Objective morality as a proper basic belief
Little Henry Wrote:Not under Christianity.

Comparing Christianity to atheism is apples and oranges. The proper comparison is theism to atheism. And there is no moral system under theism. You can be a theist and sacrifice babies to Ba'al or ritually consume the hearts of your slain foes.

Theism is believing some sort of god is real and atheism is not believing that. Morals don't come from either of those.

If you want to compare Christianity with humanism, which is actually a nontheistic moral system, then you can have a legitimate conversation about the differences and similarities.

How do you know that?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
