shanoxilt: If moral truths have a different ontological and metaphysical status than deities, then it is possible to have both atheism and objective morality.-You have responded to a post from Cary Cook, who abandoned us nearly two years ago, so I'm afraid you won't get a reply from him. However, I'm intrigued by the above statement. You seem to be suggesting that moral truths might have an existence that is independent of subjective humans and of any possible deity. Perhaps you could explain.
