Re: A problem with some religous views
[ QUOTE ]
i would argue that your 'moral sense' is meaningless if you believe atheism is true. if your 'moral sense' is legitimate, then there must be an absolute moral standard. an absolute moral standard, as Sklansky can attest to (dont know why im appealing to sklansky!), is inconsistent with a godless universe.

having read Notready's response I realise a source of the confusion is the idea that I am making some big claim about my moral feeling being true.
I'm not, all I mean is that I feel something is wrong in the same way I feel pain. Presumably you can accept I have feelings whether or not I believe in god.
Given that clarification is there any way I can have that feeling and the conclusion not follow. If you think it is possible then can you tell me how?
Thanks
