As I discuss moral philosophy with Christians and they seek to defend how religious-based morality is superior, we almost inevitably stray into the territory of seemingly improvised "new rules" contrived for the purpose of the argument along with borderline nonsensical philoso-babble.
Specifically with this post, how do you know "God is independent of all entities"? Did you just make that up or did you hear that somewhere? If the latter, where and what is it based on?
Also, what does "independent of all entities" mean exactly? And how does this independence work to magically transform his judgment from subjective to objective, especially since the very definition of "objective" is independent of personal judgment?
