The Objective Moral Values Argument AGAINST The Existence Of God

Maybe there is an actual law of morality in heaven that physically stops people doing bad things to each other.

Yeah, it's weird thinking of a 'law' with no effect.  Although maybe, there is an effect.  I think tossing God aside, we think 'immoral' behavior has personal consequences.  And I don't mean physical.  Changes to who you are on a more basic level.  I'd use people who fight in wars who are haunted for the rest of their lives over some of the things that happen.  This is the first time I've put those ideas together in this context, so I'm just going to go wander off and think about it now.
