The writer of the article has a very short-range perspective. Only time will tell how long Western civilization will be able to maintain its liberal values apart from Christianity. But that was just an incidental point.
The main point that you failed to address was my challenge to your response to the OP. You say your behavior would not be any different with or without objective morality. You imply that somehow this means that no underlying universal principles guide your behavior. How is that any different from personal whim?
Why do you feel the need to challenge my opinion? Oh, wait, it differs from yours therefore you consider it wrong/uncomfortable.
Don't tell me what I imply. That's just you taking it to a place for you to feel comfortable.
I got my principles from my family and society with very little of "The objective moral states.....".
Tell me, what's the objective moral of personal whims?
Your position that moral societies would be nowhere without JC religion is just opinion.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
