The Source of Human Morality?

"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.

Note the arguments to authority (against on the atheist side and for on the religious side), and the “Christian benevolence” points in part 1 and 2.

Nine parts over two hours total.



From the comments about the religious position:

I'd have a hard time not calling him out on his blatant strawmanning, massive historical & cultural ignorance and the all around vacuousness of his opening statement.

I could not agree more.



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

Note the fascist and communist argument about atheism from the religious position and the “submission to” points.

The Source of Human Morality [4/9] (debate)

Note the answer from the religious POV that slavery was a “pagan” tradition that monotheism was forced into and that Christian culture was the solution to slavery.
