Those who believe in Naturalism, and a godless First Cause must engage in equivocation and moving goal posts when discussing the topic of morality. Fuzzy definitions, double meanings, and redefined terms are used when the subject of morality comes up.
*Relative vs Absolute*
Naturalists claim that morality 'evolved!', and as man became more intelligent, he felt empathy, and 'naturally' decided to be nice to other people. Rather than stealing their stuff, bullying and killing anyone weaker, and taking someone's mate if you could, a prehistotic man decided that 'morals!' should be a guide for behavior. Each tribe of people made lists, some codified into law, as to how our interpersonal dealings were to be regulated. Stealing was now bad. Killing. Violence. Physical intimidation. Infidelity with one's mate. EVERY human society decided these things were 'bad!' Some cultures invented angry gods, to scare people into following these new standards of behavior. Normal animal behavior was now 'bad!' Humans now, should be 'good!'
But this is not 'morality!' These are man made platitudes to control people.. manipulations from agenda driven ideologues. There is no Embedder, in a godless universe, to instill these things into a conscience, (another man made platitude for manipulation.)
But this creates a dilemma for the naturalists. They have to admit that morality is only a human construct, and there is no natural compulsion to observe these manipulations. They must make irrational pleas, to indoctrinees of naturalism, when they cast off the constraints of conscience and morality.
'Why can't we all get along!!?'
'Be nice!'
..are the baseless cries to a generation steeped in amorality, or more precisely, immorality. The more they plead with gang bangers to 'be nice!', the more they shoot and kill each other.
Jungle Law is the only logical conclusion, in a godless universe. The stronger survive. Might makes Right. Strength is the only law, in a godless universe.
The natural tendency of man toward 'evil!', and violations of the conscience, is compelling evidence that these standards are real, embedded by the Creator.
If this was a godless universe, we would expect strength, not mealy mouthed platitudes, to be esteemed. Bigger, stronger, more ruthless people would 'naturally' ascend in the social standing, and their genes would be prominent.
But this is not what we observe. We observe a UNIVERSAL standard of 'morality' in the human animal. Theft, murder, fraud, extortion, rape, adultery, and a few other things are universal in human societies, as 'self evident' moral standards. The conscience is appealed to, and is expected to be followed. Sociopaths are vilified as 'evil!', and removed from society.
Additions and arbitrary cultural standards do not negate the observation of universal standards in every human society.
Naturalists would have to cheer and celebrate sociopathy, to follow the logic of their philosophy. But they don't. They equivocate. They pretend 'morality!' is a Real Thing, while insisting it is a man made construct. But since 'Evolution!' did it, they must bow at the alter of Naturalism, and observe these made up platitudes for manipulation.
It is irrational. It is distorted, convoluted reasoning. It is madness.
**Observable Reality**
1. There is an INHERENT moral compass, in every human being, guided by the conscience.
2. Humans do not always follow this compass, but EVERYONE condemns it as 'wrong!', when they don't.
3. Naturalists, especially, erupt in moral outrage if their safe space is violated. They belie with their actions and attitudes, the beliefs they assert.
4. There is only Real morality. 'Absolute vs relative' is a false dichotomy.. an equivocation to distort, deflect, and deceive.
5. Morality is Real, and can ONLY be the result of the Creator 'embedding' the Standards He expects, into His creation.
6. There is NO NATURALISTIC EXPLANATION for morality. Equivocations, dodges, and redefinitions are the only 'arguments' given.
7. The Creator IS.
Morality is a Real Thing. Your Creator has embedded His Standards in you, to guide your choices. You have not always followed that guide ..none of us have. Yet the sting of conscience remains, if we have not scarred it to numbness by repeated, willful violations.
Don't be deceived by the spinnings of agenda driven ideologues, who want to divide you from your Maker. Look deep inside. Remove the noise and lies that this world uses, to distract you from what is important. Your soul longs to be Reconciled.. cleansed and renewed.. at peace with God.
That 'still small voice' of conscience, is your Creator, calling you to Him. Don't ignore that call.. there are eternal consequences at stake. Seek your Maker. There is nothing more important.
Christians: Hold fast to the Savior. Don't be deceived by the pseudoscience lies from the enemy of your soul. Don't compromise the Standards you know are true and real. Sin is to be repented of, and abhorred as the deadly poison it is. Don't let the deceitfulness of sin lead you astray.
