Although I understand the moral argument for God's existence well, I don't find it very persuasive. <br /><br />The problem lies in showing the second premise, "Objective morals exist," to be true. It seems that to show its truth, there's a lot of appealing to opinion, experience, or intuition. The classic example is asking people if torturing babies for fun is wrong. Now obviously most people will say no, but all you are getting is their opinion. They have been brought up to think that torture of babies for fun is morally wrong, but their opinion doesn't necessarily prove objective morality exists.<br /><br />I understand that I may be confusing epistomology (how we come to know things) with ontology (actual existence), but where would I differentiate the two?Youssarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867046789306012033noreply@blogger.com
