Reply To: Theological Conundrum (read at your own risk)

yekke2:

How coincidental. (I have not read Permission to Believe but) I was once discussing this with someone and (if I remember correctly) this person told me that in Permission to Believe the author uses morality as a proof to God’s existence – if there is no God why is it wrong to kill someone. I could disagree with this argument both ?????? and ???????. According to me, it doesn’t prove anything because I would say that even with a God, killing is not wrong (though it is assur). Even those arguing against me here, should agree that this doesn’t prove God’s existence, because Man could still have the inherent feelings that something is wrong, even without God. (Now if someone wanted to argue that feelings in general prove Gods’s existence, that would be a different argument which would not be taluy on morality.)

But I wouldn’t want to reject a book based on someone telling me what it says, so I may have to read it myself. Shkoyach for reminding me.
