READ THE QUOTE PHIL ROBERTSON MADE THAT GOT PEOPLE ( INCLUDING CONSERVATIVES ) UPSET AND CRINGING BY CLICKING ON THE ABOVE LINK, but here’s the author’s main point:
... of course a person would be appalled and find them morally depraved. Phil’s poorly made point, one that again, is deeply rooted in mainstream Christianity. The idea, as i mentioned above, that we are programmed as creations of God to inherently understand morality and that morality is not relative to itself but rather to God.
He’s making the argument that, in his belief system, anyone, be they atheist or Christian, instinctively knows God and either rejects or accepts Him, either consciously or subconsciously. Phil believes that all morality comes from God and that rejecting God’s existence is accepting moral relativity because, as is the view of many Christians, an existence without God is an existence without a moral center that has authority.
Now, I’ll say this one more time before closing: it doesn’t matter if you agree with him or anyone else on this. This is a normal Christian view said in the most unnecessarily shocking & unartistic way possible.
Fault him for his language or for hurting Christianity’s brand and I may agree with you. But while it may make an atheist find Christianity even more repellent, I have to let you know that from a Christian’s point of view, the underlying philosophy is correct.
It forces their capitulation and wakes everyone up.
It's also fun to watch your opponent stammer and subsequently fail to recover.
Since atheistic morality has been at the heart of over 200 million murders in the past 100 years he may have a point. Of course the world is going to be upset.
