Moral objective values...
Post #1[font=Verdana]In one of his papers, Dr. William Lane Craig (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lane_Craig) argues moral objective values is to say something is right or wrong independently of whether anybody believes it to be so. If God does not exist, what is the foundation for moral objective values?[/font][/url]

Subjectively, to the victims, yes, it was actually bad. That goes to the families, and the survivors too.keithprosser3 wrote: So there is an actual right and wrong but not an objective right and wrong.
Got it.
So is the holocaust actually bad?
Ever meet and talk to a concentration camp survivor?

So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�

Re: What is objective morals?
Post #303How absolutely wrong could this not be? It couldn't.
What an asinine thing to say.
Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, tell me JUST ONE objective moral and you will win this argument.
That's it.
Just ONE objective moral that is right and you win. Just ONE.

It seems to me that you made a claim that you never defended, would you care to do so, or show me where you already did. Else, please withdraw your claim.10CC wrote:How absolutely wrong could this not be? It couldn't.

Just one moral imperative that is OBJECTIVE, that's all I ask.olavisjo wrote: .I never did meet them, but here is a list of survivors.Goat wrote: Subjectively, to the victims, yes, it was actually bad. That goes to the families, and the survivors too.

I have to disagree.. I have met survivors. Subjectively it was bad for them. I have met people who saw their families killed in front of them. Subjectively it was bad for them. So, don't give me that nonsense.

No, I didn't.keithprosser3 wrote: Goat - did you actually click the link Olavisjo provided? It's to a list of Nazi war criminals, a rather dark inversion of expectation for the word 'survivor'.
However, that does not stop the fact I have friends whose families were intimately involved in being victims.
And, many of those 'war criminals' were put into prison or executed for their actions. I would not call them 'unaffected' by it..
And, I would not call any of them 'survivors of the holocaust' either. That is a very insulting and highly bigoted equivocation.
