if morals don't really exist then you can not possibly live by them
It's pretty easy to think off 2 lists with actions that are moral and not
Based on those lists we can assign morals
but if good and evil don't exist then it's all subjective
so you can live by your own standards
but it can't be defined as morality
Education gives most people, at least atheists an idea of what's good and bad
So based off that you could say that atheists can still believe in good and evil but reject the idea of god
but again, without something to make anything evil or good it isn't really morality. Just a subjective concept.
@Obungus but my point is that atheists actually do have something to make anything evil or good
but it isn't objective so it doesn't really matter all that much
So what's objective according to you
If this isn't objective "God's" morals would also be subjective
And again based on reason and science atheists can have morals
You can have a standard that doesn't change
but unless that thing undoubtedly defines good and evil it can not possibly be seen as an objective moral standard
God is an objective moral standard because He is unchanging and the definition of goodness
And where do God's morals come from
His natural attributes
Because he commands it?
His nature is what is good and seeing as God is immutable this means His morality is objective
And you have to listen to It
You don't *have* to
He gives you the option to ignore Him
So what happens if you ignore him
You get punished
Indeed
So you have to follow or else you'll get punished
That makes his moral's arbitrary
Because they're arbitrary it would mean God's morals are subjective
That isn't true at all
How so?
Just because there is a punishment for evil does not mean that good and evil don;t exist
I'm not saying good and evil do not exist
I'm saying that based off your logic god's morals would be subjective
And I am saying you are wrong because your argument doesn't make sense
How does it not make sense?
Morality is not a decision made by God it is based on how His nature
so it can not be arbitrary because it is His natural attributes that morality is based on
According to what religion
