1. It's a terrible argument. 2. A professor of theology making an argument is different to quoting random crap from scripture. 3. You haven't presented any argument at all. 4. No she didn't. CL herself believes atheists can be good people so for her to make any sort of failed argument that a God is necessary for morality, is just silly. I take it that she believes that the only reason why atheists can be good is because God DOES exist in this universe, according to her, but there's absolutely no evidence of that so..... where's the argument if it all depends on false premises that go completely against the evidence?
Quote:I'm just show various forms of it phrased in Quran.
It isn't in the Quran, or even the Bible. You actually have to try and make an argument starting with premises from what you find in scripture. You can't just randomly quote scripture.
And then we can laugh both at the non-sequiturs AND the fact your premises start from a magic book. It's great.
Also, notice that many of the moral arguments from theologians, like other arguments from God from theologians, actually argue for a deist God.... a God of any sort. And the definition of God is so vague so as to prove absolutely nothing. It's like essentially arguing for a first cause. Well, many atheists argue for a first cause, even myself....
And the idea that any sort of God is required for morality is just wank. On average atheists are statistically more moral people than theists, so go figure.
