Remember: * A common human psychological nature is the root of our shared morality. Whether we wish to bind others to it or not is part of this nature. * Even God cannot provide more than that, as even Him saying something is wrong doesn't make it so. * (Counterargument) A benevolent and powerful god would not imbue us with moral failings. While there are certainly better formulations of it, it would be instructive to present it as a Moral Law argument: A1 All men are conscious of an objective moral law. A2 Moral law requires a moral lawgiver. C There must be a moral lawgiver.

The argument from absolute morality argues that God exists because only with God can there be a true morality. It is also known as the Moral Argument, the Argument from Moral Law, or the Axiological Argument (argument from value). Its most famous proponent may be C.S. Lewis, but the argument is at least as old as Kant and is held by numerous apologists, including Alvin Plantinga and William Lane Craig. While there are certainly better formulations of it, it would be instructive to present it as a Moral Law argument: A1 All men are conscious of an objective moral law. A2 Moral law requires a moral lawgiver. C There must be a moral lawgiver. While the argument is deductively valid, the two assumptions expose a deep misunderstanding of the nature of morality that prevades religious thought. It is accentuated by the image of moral law as a judiciary law, but the same problem is immanent in nearly all religious moral thought. Morality is founded on individual's moral intuitions, not on abstract laws or tyrannical fiat.
