Veritas Is Still Wrong
A response to www.youtube.com At the end of his video, Veritas rather smugly tries to tell the atheist that their very objections to him are futile if we deny the reality of intrinsic values. He commits a strawman by framing our objections in terms of a value judgment. In reality, when I say that you should believe A rather then B, I accept that the values of this statement is contingent on your desire to believe what is actually real. If you have no such desire, then my argument has no force. However, I can safely disregard what you have to say as being irrational. I simply am not going to stand there and insist that you MUST believe A because you have a rational OBLIGATION!!! You have to, you have to, you have to, you have to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You ignore reality at your own peril and I suggest that the best place to do so is in the middle of what us reality believers call traffic. Also, claiming god made the universe with this intent does NOTHING to explain how god derived his intentions for the universe in a non-arbitrary way. Noah, please 1)Proved an argument for the existence of intrinsic values that is more then just assertion. 2)Explain where god gets his oughts from 3)Understand that objections to your argument do not necessarily rely on the belief in intrinsic values My Blog (trying to write in it more) philosophypeter.blogspot.com Blogtv www.blogtv.com Stickam name: tooltime9901 My Photography www.myspace.com/petersphotos www.flickr.com
