  1. I would like to begin by saying, it's refreshing to see that the YouTube atheists have some people left that are civil in dialog.
  2.  
  3. Let me say a few things prior to answering your objections, first, I will quote what you have said followed by a response. Then I will ask you a question [if I find it necessary to do so] to which I desire you to respond to.
  4.  
  5. Having said that, let's begin shall we?
  6.  
  7. Beginning with your first statement, you said, "Points 1 and 2 of Craig's argument are unclear and unjustified statements." You then go on to justify this when you say, "God might declare certain things to be moral, but he's stating his subjective opinion."
  8.  
  9. Response:
  10.  
  11. I think that you are confusing the issue here. God implies an objective standard of morals for us because even if it is subjective to God, it would remain objective to us. For the very definition of an objective morality [in terms of human preception] means morals that are not dependent on humans or what they believe concerning right and wrong.
  12.  
  13. Question:
  14.  
  15. What basis can you [if your an atheist] give to account for morals?
  16.  
  17. You then say, "If by objective morals you mean morals based on premises and arguments accessible to everyone, then God's nonexistence does not rule out objective morals."
  18.  
  19. I agree, however that isn't what I was arguing.
  20.  
  21. Finally, you said, "Even if you grant premise 1, how do you know that objective morals exist?"
  22.  
  23. This is an objection to the second premise to which I have a question. So, its okay to murder atheists because they don't believe in God? Or again, its okay to rape an atheist woman because she doesn't believe in God?
