[split] Theistic VS Naturalistic morality
#5
RE: Atheist/Philosopher here.
(October 1, 2010 at 11:10 pm)fr0d0 Wrote: Kant’s Moral Argument

(1) Moral behaviour is rational.
(2) Morality behaviour is only rational if justice will be done.
(3) Justice will only be done if God exists.

2 is a presupposition. Kant presupposes that morality is rational and therefore we have good reasons to behave morally, however, He also noted that in many cases immoral behaviour profits more than moral behaviour ie "Life is not fair". Therefore Kant also concludes that morality will only be rational (and therefore just) if there is life after this one in which there is ultimate justice. He however can't show that justice and rationality are both necessary.

This is an argument for an afterlife, it does not follow to god as Kant cannot establish that it must necessarily be God who is the bringer of balanced justice.

There is also no reason to assume that Justice will be done, that all of the moral and immoral deeds will balance out in the end - this is a bare assertion.

The idea of a cosmic justice also negates the principle of doing everything possible to ensure that justice is upheld in this life.
