Morals require God. A moral law requires a moral law giver? Agree or Disagree?
Interesting idea. I know I am going to cop it from a number of people but that's all right. I am interested to hear people's thoughts. To elaborate a bit... without going into post modernism too much, if you do not believe in a God then how can there be any truth. What is to say that mass murder(as an extreme example) is wrong is the collective society deems that it is. Most of societal "morals"... well they're actually based on Church principles - but ignoring that... now a days convenience, practicality and "greater good" play the most important determinants in the law and the acceptance of a society's collective "morals".
Another thing... truth... do you believe in an absolute truth? Ok now I am getting into the complexities of post modernism.
I won't say what I think on any of these issues yet but I
Am interested in what others have to say.
Looking forward to discussing and debating this...

I agree with the latter statement. But.. in that case do morals have credibility as they are subjective to culture and time?
