The MA is definitely a contender for the stupidest thing apologists have ever said, a truly competitive field. Wink
"Solve meta-ethics or God exists!"


But Gen, an apologist would just respond that the objective moral standard is God's nature, wouldn't they?


I remember Craig (in his debate with Sam Harris) was challenged by an audience member about something related to the fact/value distinction and Craig's response was like "Our duties are constituted by commands from a competent authority, that is to say, by imperatives issued by the Good itself."

Oh boy, Christianity thieving from Platonism again! Didn't see that coming...
