info_outlineFinally, we’re finishing up the moral argument for God’s existence. In this episode, we talk about the second premise and conclusion, primarily focusing on defending the existence of objective moral values and duties. This premise isn’t one that is typically denied, but it’s a good idea to know how to respond to some objections.
Very few people deny the objectivity of moral values and duties. It would mean things like the horrors committed by Joseph Stalin and the communists were not actually wrong. We merely have a difference of opinion with him. Obviously, this is not true! When pressed, most people will admit the second premise of the argument.
