...morals but the source of morals? I heard a Christian once argue about the importance of morals. He used an example of traffic rules and argued that people need morals just like drivers need to obey the road rules or else there will be anarchy. This was his main argument for why children need to keep being brainwashed with ridiculous and barbaric bible myths designed to scare them into doing what they’re told. Can you see the terrible intellectual flaw in this argument? The analogy used did not support the conclusion. The analogy just tells us simply that rules are important or there will be anarchy. This analogy in no way justifies the use of the bible as the source of morals. So yes, rules are important, no one is arguing that, but where the disagreement lies is using the bible as the source of morals; what makes the bible the ultimate source of morals? If you assert it is the word of your god you have the burden of proof and if you can’t prove it then your argument is moot. Moot, I tell you, moot!
