Q&A: Anokh Michael and Morality
Anokh Michael and Morality
Question
I watched your debate and saw the follow-up responses.
I wanted to ask how one can arrive at a conclusion about who is right on the issue—whether morality requires some validating entity behind it or not.
It seems that both of you have high analytical abilities, and all of our knowledge of the issue is pretty much the same. So the fact that he thinks differently from you and knows how to answer logically all the questions you raised does not show that one cannot arrive at the truth. (Of course, the question applies to him as well, but you are at least adding one more factor in the end).
Answer
In my opinion, he does not know how to give answers. He did move his lips, but he did not provide answers. The fact that someone responds with words does not mean that he has given answers.
As for your actual question, you should not form a position based on your assessment of the speaker's intelligence, but rather on the arguments and on your own judgment.
