The Objective Moral Values Argument AGAINST The Existence Of God
#39
RE: The Objective Moral Values Argument AGAINST The Existence Of God
Come to think of it, some people do talk as if morality has some actual effect. A god botherer says, "If there's no God [and thus no morality] what's stopping me killing people?"

Nothing is stopping you doing it even with god and morality. Saying god will punish you is no different to saying other humans will punish you. It would make more sense to say, "If there were no other humans around, what would stop me running round naked and shitting on trees?" Well, nothing would. Maybe a vigilant squirrel.
