. . . . that's your claim. You have an argument for that?
I might too, if I didn't affirm God's existence.
I would suggest that it is based upon the moral values held by the society in which you live.

Whoa, there cowboy. Uh, oh. You made a claim; looks like you have the burden of proof. Prove God doesn't exist! If you don't want to, retract your claim, and deal with my counterpossible. Oh, and moral values based on societal norms leads to absurdity.Many and painful are the researches sometimes necessary to be made, for settling points of [this] kind.

Human history is replete with animistic spirits, totems and gods. There is no good reason to think any of them to have existed or exist. Why would I believe any of them?Originally posted by mattbballman31 View Post

This discussion has been had several times.

Red herring. Show the connection between secular/human development and the idea that moral values based on societal norms leads to absurdity. Hint: you're going to be way off if you don't understand the ethico-philosophical point undergirding the claim. And I've heard the ole' talking point about the UN Human Development Index, and there's other variables you'd need to take into account before you construct your secular castle in the clouds.Many and painful are the researches sometimes necessary to be made, for settling points of [this] kind.
