There is simply no reason to believe that the existence of objective moral values require God's existence.(2)
Quote:The whole point was to spell out how even if objective moral values do exist it's much more rational to believe in objective moral values without believing in God.I think the above stresses that point much better.
That isn't an argument against god..either in existence or the rationality of god belief, however. It's a position freely open to the faithful, who are very much capable of believing in objective moral values not contingent upon some god.
