That's a claim that I've never seen effectively defended. It's come to the point that I don't believe it can be defended. So, if you have justification for your belief that objective morality is not possible without god (but is possible with god), then then I'd really like to know what that justification is.

I doubt that I would be able to offer you an acceptable explanation, or rather one that would be acceptable to you.

This proves that there are some things that you and I can agree on.



Quote: However, these are my thoughts on the matter: Any moral code on the face of this earth would necessarily be subjective or relative according to the definitions I gave earlier.

I'm asking why you say that. Repeating your claim is not an explanation. Saying that you can't give an acceptable explanation is not an explanation.

Is your ultimate claim that you believe this stuff for no good reason?



Quote: Consequently, and by process of elimination, an objective moral code would have to be eternal as opposed to temporal. An eternal moral law would of necessity have to have an administrator... God.

More claims that you intend never to justify? Why do you make claims if you aren't willing to defend them? I could claim that man is a direct descendent of the potato chip, if that's all the justification I needed.
