Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Thanks - real live debate!
And a nice job of hitting the highlights. Seems almost a fool's errand however; any concept of The Good (and - all we ever have are concepts) drags along damn near everything else! we have names for, not the least of which: Good for whom? and across what scale in time and Goodness; is the advancement of a society's 'survival' sufficient ends for a momentary employment of unGood actions against a few? yada

Oh well.. it's always Good to try to figure out Good. Isn't it? But maybe a more manageable Q could be ~~ What's all this *just One* True Religion stuff about - especially with all the cross-pollination?




Maybe later, after the consequences of today's Patriot Act sink in, get unsorted out.

Craig would have disagreed sharply with that. A large part of his argument for theism was based in the idea that goodness can only have real meaning if there is some single, objective, absolute standard of goodness. We may not know what it is, but it has to exist.

This is a good example of how his argument for theism was for Christianity in disguise. For somebody from a polytheistic background or somebody that believes in an unknowable god this whole argument makes no sense.
