Evil being force is a nonsensical statement. I've never made any such claim, so not sure what you meant by bringing it up

Not one was able to show how an OBJECTIVE standard for morality can exist without a deity. Can YOU actually do it without a tu quoque fallacy, answering with a question, whataboutism, red herring, etc.?

There's no objective standard for morality with your gawd. Why do we need to posit one without gawd(s)?

I haven't said anything about morality with a deity. You have offered a tu quoque fallacy. [b]tu quoque fallacy[/b] (Latin for "you, too"). It's fallacious reasoning

Have you considered the possibility that an ‘objective moral standard’ simply doesn’t exist?

If God doesn't exist, an objective moral standard simply doesn't exist. That's been my point all along. Do you agree?

Same answer as before.

Nobody is obligated to observe any laws other than the ones of physics. As amply demonstrated by this long list of people who clearly didn't.

So then there's no objective moral values? If people are not obligated, or it's voluntary, then there's no objective moral standard. Meaning, you can follow it or skip it. If you break the law of the land, you will face consequences from the penal system if caught. However, there's no consequence for breaking these so-called objective moral laws based on truth as long as you don't get caught. If you don't get caught, you owe no one an explanation. Therefore, no moral obligations exist.

You obviously don't understand logic or logical fallacies. By stating without 'x' you cannot have 'y' you are implying that with 'x' you can have 'y.' I am simply pointing out that there are no objective standards of morality with our without your gawd. Providing (or manufacturing) evidence of something that doesn't exist is usually the purview if the religious, not the irreligious. If you can't be honest in your arguments, which you have not been, you really shouldn't be accusing others of logical fallacies you obviously don't understand and probably wouldn't recognize if you actually saw one.

Since you've gone to such lengths to avoid the "with gawd" side of it, why are you so determined that we show some evidence for objective morality without your gawd, because quite honestly, if you're not trying to claim that gawd gives us that then I can't see why in the ever loving fuck you're devoting so much time and effort to it.

Still a tu quoque fallacy, plus a red herring, since I have made no claims or comments about a deity. Learn some logic
