But let's talk morality & God.

Some, like Humber, would have you think there is a single objective morality. As all human opinion of morality is subjective, the objective must come from something beyond humans, ie God. Therefore there must be a God.

I myself cannot see why God's point of view would be objective (assuming there is a God). So I ask... is there an objective morality?

Now this is coming across as a bash-Humber thread and I really did intend to get into a discussion of morality. I read this blog recently...

There is a kind of argument for God that seems very common amongst the “New Apologists” that is commonly called the “Argument from Morality.” I am bothered by this argument for a couple of reasons, and I’ll spell them out here. This argument runs something like this:

1. There is objective morality.
2. A law-giving God is the only thing that could ground an objective morality.
Hence, God must exist. http://www.appleeaters.com

... and am absolutly not equipped to discuss this with the author. I thought perhaps a few of the armchair philosophers here might want to tackle this with me tho.

So I ask... is there an objective morality? and can this prove God?
