The Source of Human Morality [3/9] (debate)

"The Source of Human Morality" - a debate held at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County on November 16, 2010. Hosted by UMBC's Orthodox Christian Fellowship and Secular Student Alliance. With Matt Dillahunty and Father Hans Jacobse.

Matt Dillahunty is the president of the Atheist Community of Austin, and host of the popular public access television and internet show "The Atheist Experience." He was raised as a fundamentalist Baptist, and was on track to become a minister until he started asking questions about the reasons for his belief. He rejected religion, and now serves as a public voice for rationality and secular morality.

Father Hans Jacobse is an Antiochian Orthodox Priest, who administers the website Orthodoxy Today and heads the American Orthodox Institute. Fr. Hans is convinced that Orthodox Christianity has an important part to play in American moral renewal. He views the current world as a battle between competing moral visions of the secular and the sacred, and hopes that Christianity can restore the moral tradition of the gospels.

This priest is talking, but he's not saying anything.

[Sciborg09]

@philosophyman76 the priest is a troll! :/

[Groeneroest]

wow the priest is all like Matt should be thankful the priest wants to drink a beer with the guy, what an asshole

[TheStarvingSamurai]

@naughteedesign He's Jesus.

[MivH124]

So the priest is saying "everything I just said, I didn't mean"

[baldurus1]

If morality is objective as Mr.Jacobse contests, then shouldn't morality be Universal?

Our moral standards are not the same as the moral standards of people in other countries, they're not even consistent in our own society(pro abortion vs. anti abortion).

Clearly there is no Universal morality, ergo there can't be a Universal moral giver.

[naughteedesign]

[kloveless82]

[TheFoulest]

While he seems like a decent guy, the priest got butt fucked here.
