The Importance of Moral Values in the World
Many theists and atheists agree that if God does not exist, the moral values are not objective in this sense. Michael Ruth's self-adnits: The man who says it is morally acceptable to rape little children is just as mistaken as the man who says 2 plus 2 equals 5. In moral experience, we apprehend a realm of moral values and duties that impose themselves upon us. Actions like rape, cruelty, and child abuse aren't just socially unacceptable behavior, they're moral abominations. Some things at least are really wrong.
