“It does not take a god to instill a good sense of right and wrong.”
No, it takes a God to immutably define right and wrong and thereby provide a consistent basis for understanding it. If there is no God then your “right and wrong” goes only as far as you and your guys and your guns can take it. It certainly may not mean a damn thing to me. Why should YOUR opinions count more generally than anyone elses?
"No, it takes a God to immutably define right and wrong and thereby provide a consistent basis for understanding it."
I suppose I would have asked how a person knows that "It does not take a god to instill a good sense of right and wrong"? There is no way to 'know' that.
It can only be assumed by begging the question in the first place.
Mr Hitchins: I do not bow to God because He frightens me or because He has promised me something. I bow to God because He knows what I do not know.
