So Many Moral Arguments! W/ dr. Tim Stratton
One of my favorite arguments for the existence of God is the moral argument. To say that the moral argument has caused a stir in the waters of philosophy would be a gross understatement. The syllogism has made such an impact that committed atheists debate amongst themselves as to which premise they ought to reject. The popular version of the moral argument can be formulated like this: If God does not exist, objective moral values and duties do not exist. Objective moral values and duties do exist. Therefore, God exists. Although I believe that this version of the argument is sound, in order to counter objections by atheist philosophers like Wielenberg, I often share modified versions of the argument that do not focus on objective moral values but on objective purpose. List to this to learn how one can modify and improve the moral argument when discussing with atheists to show how faith in God can be reasonable! ➡️ CHAPTERS ⬅️ 00:00 Introduction 14:20 Purpose Theory 21:04 Libertarian Freedom 29:13 An Eternal “Or Else!” 36:12 Conclusion 40:15 One More Moral Argument ➡️ LINKS ⬅️ and ➡️ SOCIALS ⬅️ Website: Facebook: Instagram: Twitter: TikTok: #Moral #Morality #Arguments #Philosophy #Apologetics #FreeThinking #TimStratton
