Moral Standards and the Nature of God

Dawkins' moral arguments against God raise questions about the origin of his moral standards, suggesting that he fails to recognize that objective morality is grounded in God's nature. By labeling God as unjust or cruel, Dawkins inadvertently relies on an external moral standard, which he cannot justify without referencing God as the source of that morality. This contradiction is illustrated by referencing C.S. Lewis, who argued that reasoning against God is ultimately inconsistent, as it undermines the very basis for rational thought. The dialogue surrounding these concepts reflects a growing humility on Dawkins' part, indicating a potential openness to reconsidering his views on faith and morality.
