My question to these “rationally thinking” persons is what is the definition of morality, empathy, fairness, and experience?
I know what the dictionary says, but those definitions were given to the grouping of vocal noises which we call words.
Who is given the right to define the meanings of these words which the AHA wants to use as a basis of their argument. What if my definitions would completely change the meanings and make me an all powerful being?
Good post. I think it was C. S. Lewis who argued that even the concept of “good” implies a transcendent measuring rod to which all civilized men and women could resort for measuring what was “good” and what wasn’t. It had to be outside of human experience and existence in order to perform its task of measuring human performance. That implied to former atheist Lewis that God really did exist. So “rational” thought would seem to completely contradict atheism.
