Sure it is because without God there cannot be objective moral values and duties.
Gods existence is not what makes a moral statement objective. To give you an example...the statement-
"It is wrong to skullfuck your neighbor because it causes harm"
-is either true or false, based upon whether or not harm is caused, not whether or not a god exists.
Quote:God's moral nature is independent of any subject's perception, so it's objective.I would certainly hope that a god was capable of being an objective moral agent. Humans manage it. It remains a fact that moral objectivity is a question of whether moral statements are indepedent of a given subject, including gods.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
