Moral realism is false. There are no objective moral facts and duties. There is no way to know if we can connect to a source of objective morality.

Not only does it answer their quandary over objective morality, but it also sketches out the argument from morality to the existence of God, an argument I suspect they've never heard before.
Namaste.
Of course.Of course, the moral argument is absolutely flawed and without merit.

Video makes 3 claims which are unsupported. and they dont really try to support them they just say it is dealt with in other videos. Then tries to use those 3 claims to prove each other. This is a circular argument and a logical fallacy
1. Morality is a rational exercise. If it was rational we could figure out what is right/wrong in any instance but as the video also claims we fail to do so,
2. Morality is to complex to come from humans is an argument from incredulity and a logical fallacy
3. Morality must be grounded in something unchanging. Unsupported claim and since morals change depending on the time/place society you look at there is no logic to claiming they are based on something unchanging.
Of course, the moral argument is absolutely flawed and without merit.
I've been reading up on socialism since the 60's - probably before you were born. Socialism sucks. Just go down and live in Venezuela for a year and see how you like it.
I was a socialist before you started reading about it.
Venezuela is not Socialist nor has any other country been fully socialist. They can call it what they want but it does not match the template.
You know so much that isn't true.
You've got me beat by a mile in that department.
God is the Meaning of Life
The Meaning of Life is God
Amen.
I doubt it. Not unless you're 80 years old.
Venezuela is a Democratic Socialist country, and it's a real hell-hole.
Do you have a contemporary example of a socialist country that works?
There has never been a fully socialist country. You need to do some reading and stop listen to fairy tales told by grandparents.
