[QUOTE="Ken-1122, post: 76918576, member: 277047"] IMO the first mistake in this video is within seconds of starting; it claims morality to be a set of principles or laws that determine what people should do, then it goes on and on as if morality were a set of objective laws. Morality are not laws, they are subjective opinions based on what people think they should or should not do. This is obvious from the fact that moral beliefs vary from person to person; laws do not. Yeah; a lot of easy and basic stuff we can agree on like rape, murder, or stealing is wrong, but when it comes to the details; everybody seem to disagree. If they were laws we would agree on what they are. Then he attempts to find the source of morality by creating 3 straw men examples of what people claim, like some alien race created it, evolution created it, it does not exist, or that his idea of God created it. He attempts to make a case for his God by claiming his God exists outside our universe, is timeless, and is non-material; (as if this makes him qualified to determine morality). But what about all the other beings that are tieless, non-material, and exists outside our Universe? Wouldn’t they be just as qualified to determine morality going by his logic? Suppose they disagree with his idea of God What makes his God more qualified than them? The reality is, his God is described as a cognitive being capable of thought. This means it is no more reasonable for him to be the arbiter of morality than it is for me, or anyone else regardless of him living outside of time, the Universe, and is non-material, because he is a thinking being just like us. So any decision he makes is subjective to his thoughts just as it is for us or all the other cognitive beings living outside of the Universe, Time, and material. [/QUOTE]
