@CosmicSkeptic Free will doesn’t exist. The big implication of this for me is that it allows me to embrace the fact that all of my actions have reasons. By digging to find the reasons why I do what I do, I can have better knowledge of how to act differently so as to make my life better.

@MattWalshBlog Matt, the exceptions are rare but surely you understand that there are conceivable situations where one would have to choose the lesser of two evils. For instance, stealing a loaf of bread to feed your family. Moral absolutes are very rare, dare I say, maybe impossible.

@darwintojesus (1) something being “actually” wrong is relative to what kind of moral standard you adhere to, of which there are plenty of candidates other than God. (3) We know phones are designed because we have seen them designed. What’s your point?

@darwintojesus If God is the ultimate standard for morality, then you shouldn’t need to provide a defense that he aligns with rape, genocide, etc. always being wrong. The necessity to show he conforms to this independent standard inadvertently demonstrates that he isn’t the ultimate standard.

@darwintojesus I don’t understand what it means for morality to be “grounded” in empathy - that a moral action is justified ultimately due to empathy? That confuses moral ontology with moral epistemology. Just because action A might come from empathy doesn’t mean it’s justified by empathy.

@darwintojesus Depends on what you mean by “default.” The claim “God exists” certainly isn’t the default position in the sense of self-evidence. Kids who have reached the age of reason don’t innately know that an omniscient, omnibenevolent, omnipotent, timeless, spaceless, etc. creator exists.
