  • 00:00

    [Questioner] You accused the second questioner I  believe of caricaturing Christians, and I believe  

  • 00:04

    that you've committed the same crime towards  atheists. From your presentation it seems that  

  • 00:10

    you're making us all out to be a bunch of  nihilists, kind of like the guys from The  

  • 00:15

    Big Lebowski, and in the end I would be forced  to say that a lot of our morals are not based  

  • 00:22

    on this idea of sort of you know humanity being  insignificant in the end. And this accusation  

  • 00:30

    of speciesism is, you know, I don't really  think that such a concept necessarily has to  

  • 00:35

    exist. My question to you is based on you know my  beliefs that, you know, our morals are informed,  

  • 00:46

    are based on our feelings, our relationship to  the people around us, our empathy for our fellow  

  • 00:52

    human beings, how is that less valid somehow  than some belief in an absolute moral system  

  • 00:59

    posed by God? [Craig] Alright, it seems to  me that the view you just expressed is the  

  • 01:05

    view that you said I was caricaturing atheists  with, namely that our moral values are based  

  • 01:11

    in our feelings our relationships with other  people, things of that sort. I don't think I  

  • 01:17

    caricatured atheists; in fact what I'm arguing  is that atheists should be nihilists, not that  

  • 01:25

    they are nihilists. As I said to the previous  question, I don't think anybody can really live  

  • 01:29

    like a nihilist. Even Nietzsche couldn't. But  I think that the atheist should be a nihilist,  

  • 01:35

    given his worldview. Why? Well because if  morality is just based in feelings, and  

  • 01:40

    relationships with other people, and the way we  were raised you know by our parents and society,  

  • 01:46

    then it's all relative. Someone who has different  feelings or raised in a different society  

  • 01:51

    might have a vastly different set of values and  moral duties, and therefore it's not objective,  

  • 02:00

    it's purely subjective, and really it's just  the result of human sociobiological conditioning.  

  • 02:07

    So it seems to me that the view you expressed  is exactly the view that I'm saying atheists  

  • 02:13

    ought to hold to. [Questioner] In light of  that, my question is more along the lines of,  

  • 02:18

    why is that such an unacceptable thing? In one  of your YouTube videos you were talking about a  

  • 02:23

    position I think that was the difference  between something being intellectually  

  • 02:28

    defensible and emotionally defensible. If  these values and all provide us with the  

  • 02:33

    complete fulfillment that maybe the acceptance of  absolute morals would provide a religious person,  

  • 02:38

    why are these so indefensible, so unacceptable?  [Craig] Well I think I would say two things there  

  • 02:44

    as to why I think it's unacceptable. First  would be because it's false, that is to say,  

  • 02:49

    I'm convinced that there really are objective  moral duties and values, that the Holocaust is not  

  • 02:57

    just something that is wrong relative to Western  democratic standards but right for the Nazis,  

  • 03:06

    so that if the Nazis had won World War Two  and everybody believed the Holocaust was good,  

  • 03:10

    on that atheistic view then it really would have  been good. That to me is morally unconscionable;  

  • 03:16

    I think that's just false. I think there are  objective moral values and duties. So that's  

  • 03:20

    the first reason I would say this is unacceptable,  it's just false. The second reason is because it  

  • 03:26

    leads to a worldview which is I think unlivable.  It's incapable of being lived consistently and  

  • 03:36

    happily. You cannot live consistently and happily  as though moral values and duties are just the  

  • 03:46

    results of feelings and subjective impressions.  You're going to want to say for example  

  • 03:52

    that apartheid was really wrong, that the killing  fields of Cambodia were really wrong, and you  

  • 04:00

    can't do that if it's just based in feelings. So  those would be the two reasons I think that it's  

  • 04:08

    unacceptable, is if it's false that's fundamental,  and then the second one would be it's unlivable.
