    And many a great philosopher have tied themselves in knots trying to answer their own unanswerable questions!

    I like these questions on morality to those who refuse a belief in God. For them there is no answer for these questions on the origin of morality posed by Matt Slick;

    OBJECTIVE STANDARD Do you have an objective standard of morality by which you can judge whether or not something is morally right or wrong?
    NO OBJECTIVE STANDARD If you do not have an objective standard of morality by which you can determine what is right or wrong, then from where do you get your morals?
    NO OBJECTIVE STANDARD If you do not have an objective standard of morality by which you can determine what is right or wrong, then how are your moral values not just based on your subjective opinions?
    NO OBJECTIVE STANDARD If you do not have an objective standard of morality by which you can determine what is right or wrong, then what gives you the right to make moral judgments upon Nazi Germany or the God of the Bible?

    NO OBJECTIVE STANDARD If you say that people should adhere to your subjective moral standard, then who decided that your subjective standard is the one that anyone should follow?
    DON’T NEED OBJECTIVE STANDARD If you don’t need an objective standard of morality by which you can judge what is right or wrong, then how do you determine what is right and wrong?
    DON’T NEED OBJECTIVE STANDARD If you don’t need an objective standard of morality by which you can determine what is right or wrong, then how do you know that what you think is right and wrong really is right and wrong?
    HAS OBJECTIVE STANDARD If you say that you do have an objective standard of morality, then where did you get this objective standard since an objective standard is one that is not based on your opinion or your experience?
    SOCIETY STANDARD If you say you got your objective standard of morality from society, then what justifies the idea that society is the proper place to obtain a standard of morality?
    SOCIETY STANDARD If you say you got your objective standard of morality from society, then which society has the right moral system when they contradict each other?
    SOCIETY STANDARD If you say you got your objective standard of morality from society, then if Nazi Germany was morally wrong to put Jews to death, why was it wrong since its morals were derived from its society?
    SOCIETY STANDARD How is having a moral standard based on societal norms not ultimately subjective, since that society is comprised of individuals with subjective moral standards?
    SOCIETY STANDARD If you believe that society produces an objective moral standard, then how does an accumulation of individuals with subjective moral standards within that society produce an objective moral standard?
    SOCIETY STANDARD If society is what determines moral truth, then how is this not committing the logical fallacy of begging the question by saying that a society determines what is right and wrong because a society determines what is right and wrong?
    SOCIETY STANDARD If society determines what is right and wrong, then it is deriving morals from itself. Aside from the issue of whether or not God exists, why then would you reject the rationale that God derives morals from himself and thereby declares what is right and wrong?
    SOCIETY STANDARD OBLIGATORY If society determines what is right and wrong, then are the morals derived from society obligatory to all members of society?
    SOCIETY STANDARD OBLIGATORY If the morals derived in society are not obligatory then how are they proper morals that should be followed?
    SOCIETY STANDARD OBLIGATORY If the morals derived in society are obligatory, then from where do you derive the right to impose them on people?
    SOCIETY STANDARD OBLIGATORY If you say that society has the right to impose its morals on its people, then how can you legitimately complain against Nazi Germany or the Jews of the Old Testament since both societies imposed their morals on people?
    COMMON SENSE STANDARD If you say your moral standard is based on common sense, then what do you do when what is “common sense” for you contradicts with what is “common sense” for someone else?
    COMMON SENSE STANDARD If what you believe is common sense contradicts what someone else considers to be common sense, then are your judgments really “common sense”?
    COMMON SENSE STANDARD If, however, you say that your common sense morals should be followed by others because they are right, then how is that not being arrogant since you are elevating your personal, subjective, moral opinions above those of others and saying they should follow what you believe?
    EVOLVING STANDARD If you say your moral standard, whether social or personal, is evolving and getting better, then by what non-subjective standard do you judge that it is getting better?
    EVOLVING STANDARD If you say your moral standard, whether social or personal, is evolving and getting better, then how do you know it is getting better without committing the logical fallacy of begging the question by saying things are getting better because they are evolving?
    EVOLVING STANDARD If you say your standard is evolving and getting better, then can you assert that it won’t evolve into something that contradicts what you believe now, thereby demonstrating that your moral beliefs now were really wrong?
    EVOLVING STANDARD If your moral standard is evolving and can contradict itself, can that system of moral determination be true since it can produce self-contradiction?
    SELF DETERMINED If you say your morals are self-determined, then are they true for everyone or just for you?
    SELF DETERMINED If your self-determined morals are true only for you, then do you have the right to judge the morals of anyone else, such as the God of the Bible, by saying they are wrong?
    INSTINCT If you say that your morals are derived from instinct, which is brain-programmed behavior, then how are they morals and not simply brain patterns to which you arbitrarily attach moral values?
    INSTINCT If you say that your morals are derived from instinct, which is brain-programmed behavior, then wouldn’t that mean that different people’s brains would produce different moral values?
    INSTINCT If you say that your morals are derived from instinct, which is brain-programmed behavior, then how would you really know if anything is right or wrong?
    INSTINCT If you say that your morals are derived from instinct, which is brain-programmed behavior, then how does one neuro-chemical state of the brain that leads to another neuro-chemical state produce proper moral truths?
    WHATEVER WORKS If you really don’t know what is right or wrong, but just go with “whatever works,” then what gives you the right to complain about anyone’s moral actions anytime or anywhere, since different behaviors work for different people in different situations?
    WHATEVER WORKS If you really don’t know what is right or wrong, but just go with “whatever works,” then how is moral stability obtained when “whatever works” can change depending on circumstances and goals?

    The ability to distinguish right from wrong is a matter of natural selection and logic.
    It is in my own best interest and the best interest of the group to do what is logically right.
    Doing otherwise leads to a breakdown of social structure.making survival of the individual and the group less likely

    Morality, on the other hand, is created by the society and, in essence, has nothing to do with right or wrong..

    Morality is defined as rules of right conduct, but by your definition your right and wrong conduct, they are subjective and changing, and cannot be deemed obligatory so are worthless
  • urwutuis Jon 2011/10/30 15:22:35
    urwutuis
    Your argument does not make sense. Rules of right conduct ARE subjective and determined by society.
    There is a difference between morality and knowing right from wrong.

    If you are trying to make the argument that right and wrong can only be determined by some external magical being I have to disagree.

    ..but don't you see you are wrong about both notions. Your evolving ideas were wrong or they wouldn't need to evolve and your godless ideas are wrong for the same reason.

    The point is God exists. When you take that step of faith and believe--God will meet you there, and has promised to reward you. He is a rewarder of those who first believe then diligently seek him(Hebrews 11:6)

    From the aspect of the faith I belong to, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-say Saints, that is not so hard to answerLOL!!
    As I understand it, some reasons are that Hardship is what makes us grow in strength. Even weightlifters know that as they increase the weight on the bar they practice with, they grow stronger. We believe this is why Satan was inadvertently doing God a favour when he 'successfully' tempted Eve into partaking of the forbidden fruit - thus introducing change, death and hardship into the life of Man. Man can learn much more under changing conditions than he ever could under constancy.
    Further, we believe in the Heavens, we will eventually be using all this knowledge acquired and put it to good use - and that the Good will be helping God in His work and will inherit, eventually, worlds without number - becoming "Joint-heirs with Christ", as Romans chapter 10 tells us. For that to be the case, we will have to be dealing with the myriads of different personalities and situations that the Lord currently needs to assume :)

    regrettably the LDS have glorified Satan to Jesus' brother, Satan a created being did God no favors tempting our first parents into the disobedience of sin.

    Sin has brought a curse of death upon all creation. Satan a created being was cast from Heaven and is the personification of the evil of pride who tempted Eve with being equal to God which is a lie that persists in LDS doctrine.

    God became one of us in the person of Jesus Christ to redeem us to himself suffered the mighty cauldron of God's wrath for our sin, and paid the debt we owed but could not pay, and earning a place for us in God's presence, and purchasing our ETERNAL Life with God. This purchase is a gift Jesus offers us by grace through faith.

    God working in us in the trials and temptations we face is a testament to the world that Jesus' work on the cross is efficacious to a right standing and a right relationship with God; not by our works of righteousness which we have one, but by His Mercy and Grace He saved us.

    Please read your BIBLE

    Well, I'm not going to argue with you ... but I'm sure that despite the popularity of your doctrine, those who stand to reason with see the clear difference between your explanation - lacking reason - and that I gave.
    As for the generality of your comment to in vino veritas [below], there is nothing in those points you make that I would disagree with ... in fact, ur two middle points were largely along the lines I was saying... ;)
