Sean McDowell recently debated James Corbett on the question of whether morality is better grounded in atheism or theism. ( MP3 here)
Some highlights include:
- We require a transcendant source of morality in order to judge other cultures. We require a “Law above the law”
- Objective moral standards require a God
- Without objective moral standards, all we are left with are preferences.
- Any valid explination of morality needs to account for free will. Where does it come from?
- Materialism relieves us from all culpability
