Most atheists here probably don't even understand the argument, instead they'll just attack the strawman " who said atheists can't be moral".

Name one ethical statement made, or one ethical action performed, by a believer that could not have been uttered or done by a nonbeliever.

Armed robbery is neither bad nor good it just ur perception towards it

Stealing can be good or bad depending on ur perception

Killing is not bad ooh.. After all we celebrate David killing the Palestinians

That implies the nazi's actions wasn't really bad, it's just our opinion, if that's true then no one can condemn the holocaust or anything evil since on moral relatism no one's moral worldview is more superior then anyone else's. On this view ,condemning sum1 actions wud be like me condemning u for not preferring chocolate to vanilla.

We now have human law based of generally majority perception. .. in a sense nazist naver saw there actions as bad

Just as Christians and jews will never see god promising a land that belong to other people to iseral and asked them to kill them and take the land? Or will never see gods instruction to make Saul as bad

That's my point, nothing is good or evil on that view . The nazi's weren't really doing anything wrong, it's just our majority opinion that they were wrong.

The nazi's weren't God, they don't have the right or authority to take people's lives or deliver judgement for people's sins.

Actually God has the right to punish people for sins and he has the right to take human life because he is the judge and the creator and sustainer of all life and existence.

I take it that on your view the nazi's weren't wrong, nor is anyone really wrong since there's nothing like good or bad, it's all subjective perception? Again if that's true you can't condemn the nazi's or the racist's who ran apartheid in South Africa actions as immoral or wrong.

Lol good also kills the innocent

Am sure if he had told the land of cannan the way he told moses to go to Egypt they would have listened... Were the philistines sinners?

As u feel God has the right so to man can decide to have the right

The atheist's dilemma

Your second argument fails...the existence of good and evil doesn't imply an absolute moral law...you are taking a quantum leap from subjectivity into objectivity.

Good and evil doesnt exist outside the realm of humans, we are what give those words meaning because by definition, it is purely subjective on the human experience. So extrapolating that there is an objective law that determines this is like saying there is an objective way of experiencing Red, that is highly flawed.

Lol you don't even considered it objectively wrong to kill the innocent. As I told u b4 God has the authority and right to take life.

Lol U are not omniscient, ur knowledge is limited, u not even sure if the nazi's did anything wrong, ur last comment regarding them implied u don't think they did wrong because they didn't think they were doing anything wrong.

mrvitalis:

Yep

mrvitalis:

Nope, man's not the creator and sustainer of another humans life and existence.

Committing murder is evil regardless of culture, society, colour, age, creed or sex. Are you saying that anyone has the right to murder you because they feel it is good?
