WOTM: Moral Obligations & Duties
Christian apologist, William Lane Craig, is always yapping on about moral obligations and duties — arguing that they are "objective." Yet he fails to see that these various moral obligations and duties are not embraced with any degree of consistency by the Beings he holds up as examples of moral perfection. Apparently, we're the only ones so obliged. Some objectivity, right?
Thanks again, gang o' patrons! More coming! Included a semi-new kind of video — PetersonFU. Though let's hope it's not a series. That guy makes me want to scream more than Prager. D'oh!!! B

You said "doodie" :)
OMG! That is right up my gasse!
I wish I could give this two, no three, "hearts" for the snark alone. Fabulous!
Thanks, Steve! And you're so right about its invention. It's just another bullying tactic made up by the religious in order to make their ideas dominate. All of religion is basically an argument from authority or ignorance — or both! Another bit of nonsense.
There is no such thing as objective morality. The concept was invented as a prop to religious arguments. If those hadn't been a motivation, the concept wouldn't exist.
Applause. I hadn’t heard this take on objective morality and I think you are spot on.
Thanks. Don’t know if it’s original. But it’s certainly original to my thinking. You guys give me the best job — I get to think this stuff through from every imaginable angle. It’s one of my favorite things I get to do.
