Atheist Morality - Sam Harris vs William Lane Craig
Our moral impulses point us to the existence of God...
Tim Keller ("The Reason for God") and C.S.Lewis ("Mere Christianity") explain this quite well. This past week I was talking with an atheist friend who thinks that morality can have a philosophical foundation in the natural world without reference to God.
This excellent recent article by William Lane Craig shows why my friend is mistaken. Craig discusses atheist Sam Harris' recent book "The Moral Landscape". It is a great article, worth pondering.
Atheists can be very upright and moral people, but they have not yet figured out how to philosophically reason from what "is" to what "ought to be", and never will, because what we "ought" to do is grounded in God's character.
