puedes tú ser buenos indios veamos
no
absolutamente asombroso ahí lo tienes
prueba innegable de que tú si puedes ser
bueno sin creer en dios pero espera la
pregunta no es puedes tú ser bueno sin
creer en dios la pregunta es puedes tú
ser buenos indios aquí es donde se
encuentra el problema si dios no existe
qué fundamento permanece para la
objetividad del bien o el mal de lo
correcto o incorrecto si dios no existe
los valores morales objetivos no existen
y aquí está el porqué
si en algún punto de referencia objetivo
no tenemos forma de decir que algo está
realmente arriba o abajo
la naturaleza de dios proporciona un
punto de referencia objetivo para los
valores morales que es la norma o patrón
contra el cual se miden todas las
acciones y decisiones pero si dios no
existe entonces no existe ningún punto
de referencia objetivo todo lo que nos
queda es el punto de vista de una
persona el cual no es más válido que el
punto de vista de cualquier otra persona
esa clase de moralidad es subjetiva no
objetiva es como tener una preferencia
por el helado de fresa la preferencia se
encuentra en el sujeto no en el objeto
de manera que eso no se aplica a otras
personas
de la misma forma la moralidad subjetiva
se aplica solamente al sujeto no es
válida ni obligatoria para nadie más así
que en un mundo sin dios no puede haber
ni mal ni bien nada sino una
indiferencia ciega y despiadada
dios ha expresado su naturaleza a
nosotros por medio de mandamientos esos
mandamientos proporcionan la base para
los deberes morales por ejemplo el
atributo esencial de dios del amor es
expresado en su mandamiento ama a tu
prójimo como a ti mismo ese mandamiento
proporciona un fundamento sobre el cual
podemos afirmar la bondad objetiva de la
generosidad la abnegación y la equidad y
asimismo podemos condenar la maldad
objetiva de la avaricia el abuso la
discriminación y la opresión esto
presenta un problema es algo bueno
simplemente porque dios lo desea o dios
desea algo porque eso es bueno
la respuesta es ninguna de las dos más
bien dios desea algo porque él es bueno
dios es el estándar de los valores
morales de la misma manera que una
actuación musical en vivo es el estándar
para una grabación de alta fidelidad
mientras una grabación suene más como la
original mucho mejor será de la misma
manera mientras una acción moral se
conforme más a la naturaleza de dios
mucho mejor será pero si el ateísmo es
verdadero entonces no existe un estándar
definitivo de modo que no puede haber
ninguna obligación o deber moral quién o
que impone tales deberes sobre nosotros
nadie recuerda para el ateo los seres
humanos son solo accidentes de la
naturaleza animales altamente
evolucionados pero los animales no
tienen obligaciones morales los unos
para con los otros cuando un gato mata a
un ratón él no ha hecho nada moralmente
malo el gato simplemente está haciendo
un gato si dios no existe entonces
deberíamos considerar el comportamiento
humano de la misma manera ninguna acción
debería ser considerada moralmente
correcta o incorrecta pero el problema
es que el bien y el mal lo correcto e
incorrecto si existen así como nuestra
experiencia sensorial nos convence de
que el mundo físico es objetivamente
real nuestra experiencia moral nos
convence de que los valores morales son
objetivamente reales
cada vez que tú dices oye eso no es
justo eso está mal eso es una injusticia
estás afirmando tu creencia en la
existencia de la moralidad objetiva
estamos conscientes de que el abuso
infantil la discriminación racial y el
terrorismo son incorrectos para todas
las personas siempre es esto simplemente
una preferencia u opinión personal no
el hombre que dice que es socialmente
aceptable violar a niños menores está
tan equivocado como el hombre que dice
que dos más dos es igual a cinco
entonces a todo lo que esto conlleva es
un argumento moral para la existencia de
dios si dios no existe los valores y
deberes morales objetivos no existen
pero los valores y deberes morales si
existen por lo tanto dios existe
el ateísmo no proporciona un fundamento
para la realidad moral que cada uno de
nosotros experimentamos todos los días
de hecho la existencia de la moralidad
objetiva nos apunta directamente hacia
la existencia de dios
