Yep, those clowns are at it again.
Hence, below is my reply, whether it gets published or not:
Sorry but when it comes to "subjective morality", it is theists who take the cake, not atheists.
You people have no problem with your god ordering the deaths of pregnant women and babies but when a doctor does it nowadays {ie. abortion} you people all of a sudden say that it's wrong.
Why? The only difference is in who is doing the deed. That is the very definition of "subjective". If something was "objectively" wrong, then it would be wrong no matter who did it, a doctor or god.
Ironically, at the end of the article, you said this:
"PS. I just came across this, an independent source that backs up what I have said, that evolution (‘science’) provides no basis for objective morality and in fact undermines it: Consternation over Ben Carson, Evolution, and Morality."
In reality, it's your alleged god's behavior as portrayed in your own bible that shoots down the idea of objective morality!
Even more amusing, is that this is nothing but an "Argument from consequences of belief" fallacy in the first place! Whether atheism does or does not give a set of "objective moral code" has nothing to do with whether it's actually the correct view or not.
Just an emotional manipulating game you're doing.
By the way, here is an New Scientist article you may want to read:

Well, there reply to me is [ur;="http://creation.com/atheism-no-objective-morality"]up[/url]. \Just read on down in the blue zone till you see my name. Basically, he accepts that it's subjective morality, but he just refuses to call it for what it is. Double standard all the way. God can do whatever the fuck he wants and it's still "moral" somehow. He does things that we can't, yet he is still somehow the moral standard?
Don Batten responds:
"The only difference is in who is doing the deed."
Hmmm... and there is no difference between God, the creator of the everything, including life (and us) and man, who is a creature made by God? It is a huge difference! God has the right to take life; man does not.
God can take life when it is a matter of dealing with sin, for example. There is a corporate aspect to things that is inescapable. If you live in Canada and the Canadian government decides to go to war, then you are at war, like it or not. You might even be an innocent casualty of that war. Likewise when God's judgment falls on a nation it falls on everyone.
We should all heed the warnings provided that God's judgment will eventually fall on all who continue to rebel against their Creator.
God has clearly decreed that taking human life for our own convenience is sin. Abortion is clearly such a sin. There is nothing subjective about the principle; killing an inocent baby in its mother's womb. See Human life Q&A
You accuse me of "Argument from consequences of belief" fallacy, but nowhere did I say or imply that because evolutionism provides no basis for objective morality that therefore evolution is false. Even Richard Dawkins agrees that evolution provides no basis for morality, but he still believes in evolution.
"Just an emotional manipulating game you're doing". Your comments sound very emotional. :-) |

I think it's closer to Bill Cosby's: "I brought you into this world, I can take you out".
Nevertheless, it's amazing that they can't see that they're actually endorsing subjective reality.

In a way, he submits like Job: YHWH tells him he can do whatever he wants, even evil, and Job cannot do a damn thing about it.
Like Job, he hopes he will get a present if he abases himself sufficiently. Hardly a "moral" nor ethical standing.

| Exactly. What gets me is just how many of those people go for that! How bad is the self-induced brainwashing that one has to totally not get that? |

Would you agree that this sounds a lot like battered spouse syndrome?

Absolutely. Thought, to be fair, one really cannot read back into the past current theology. What I mean by that is Job's cosmology is one of a heavenly council of the "sons of the gods" of which YHWH is supreme--in Job--and the satan is the one who prosecutes. YHWH is a king. Humans? They are just peasants. Try, as a common peasant, to march down to the palace and demand to argue with a king. See where it gets you. That is sort of the message.
I find it odd that Greek/Roman gods are criticized for their venality whilst YHWH is held up as some exemplar. One could never be "like YHWH," or El or Ba'al for that matter. Further, "do the right thing," and a king may still decide to squish you. This is the theology of enslavement.
Perhaps it is more honest: today you have people crediting a mythical being with EVERY good thing yet never blaming him for the BAD.
