Ten Reasons For Objective Moral Law
Morality is innate to our fabric of existence. Moral duty - our inner sense of right and wrong - is embedded in the very warp and weft or the system in which we live. We can no more choose to put it aside than we can the laws of logic and mathematics (also embedded.) Many attempt to deny objective morals, but the moment they are cheated or wronged they are quick to scream in outrage, revealing their true stance. Moral laws and duties are not elective. They are inherent in the design of our nature and this reality and thus we are subject to their consequences.
We would have no way to perceive an injustice unless there were an objective standard of justice to measure it by.
There can be no such thing as progress unless there is an objective standard by which to measure it.
Without an objective standard, moral disagreements are not real or possible.
The same basic moral codes are found in every culture throughout all human history. Example: betrayal has never been valued over loyalty, cowardice over courage.
Guilt is an emotion created by breaking a moral law, and it is a universal emotion. Guilt would not be universal unless there is an objective moral law.
Moral laws, just like the laws of mathematics and logic are discovered. They are pre-existing and not invented.
Moral laws require an objective law giver, otherwise they would carry no obligation, no duty, no authority. They would be no more substantial than a feather in a tornado.
Basic moral laws are discovered by how we desire others to treat us, not by how we behave to others.
Even those who deny moral objectivity still have moral principles they hold as objective (applying to all) such as tolerance, freedom, rights and accepting others.
