GO TO: Morality


  1. Evil/morally wrong exists
  2. The acts of evil are known by testing the acts to a standard of what is good or morally right.
  3. Evil/wrongness is the lack of Good/rightness.
  4. The standard of good or what is right can not be subjective and relative because rational humanity universally recognizes murder, rape, and theft as a form of evil and morally wrong.
    1. Is a culture that practices rape of juveniles wrong?
      1. Would you take your child to that culture and rape them willingly? 
    2. Was Hitler wrong to mass murder Jews?  
      1. Would you hate and murder a people group because the majority of the culture agreed to it? 
      2. Would you buy, sell, use, beat, and hang slaves?
    3. Would robbing you for your wallet at gun point be wrong?  
    4. If rape, murder, and robbery were not inherently morally wrong, why would they have to be unwillingly forced?  
      1. Would you proudfully hand your child over to prostitution in an accepting society?
      2. Would you happily hang an African American because it was the cultural norm in that society for disobedience?
    5. Why is rape, murder, and robbery not universally pleasingly voluntary?  
    6. Is there every a time or place for the rape, murder, and robbery to be good and morally right?  If so, how can slavery be wrong at that time, Hitler be wrong at that time, and all robberies be wrong given their place in time?
    7. Thus good and moral rightness is objective and universal standard that inherently exposes that which is evil and rejects subjective relative morality in all time and places.
      1. Where does the objective universal moral standard of Good come from if it is not based on personal, societal, or cultural norms at all times?
  5. There exists the inherent natural sense of how morality ought to be based off a universal objective standard of good.
    1. Why do we desire that which is good and resist that which is not good?
    2. Where does the inherent natural sense of how morality ought to be come from if it is not based off or personal, societal, or cultural norms at all times?
  6. Therefore humanity recognizes the existence of an objective universal moral standard of good not defined by personal, societal, or cultural norms at all times.
  7. The source then must be the absolute perfect timeless standard of Good outside of personal, societal, or cultural norms which allows us to inherently and naturally recognize what does not meet the standard. 
  8. The absolute timeless perfect standard of good is God.
