Atheist questions Frank about morality

Does society and our culture decide what is objectively true and "right" or does our morality come from another source? And what if we don't agree with the standard? Does that make it less true? Those are some of the BIG questions Matthew and Frank can't seem to agree on. Who do you think has the better argument? Be sure to watch until the very end and let us know!

I'm always amazed at how they are able to contradict themselves so many times and don't realize it

[levidade]

I love this because even with such a disagreement if you pause the last second of the video both are leaving the conversation with a laugh and a smile. Love these civil and thoughtful exchanges!

[WiZdOm]

Frank's patience and listening skills are super fundamental and I dare say, far more valuable than his arguments for the Faith. Thank you Frank for such a display of care for people, and the courage to engage in some of the most difficult debates I've seen you endure. It has taught me a lot.

"Yeah but the Nazis are considered wrong because they didn't win."

This is Might Makes Right.

Frank’s patience is a good example of trying to carefully listen to another party in discussion/conversation.

Crime and punishment does a great job of showing what happens to people when we suppress morality.

[R_Karri]

Frank:Hypothetically, if the Nazi's won...
Matt: Then they're still wrong.
Frank:Then we have a standard.
Matt: But in talking about the real world...

It’s frustrating how this guy doesn’t see that he’s contradicting himself. This essentially boils down to:

Frank: “What is your moral standard?”

Atheist: “Whatever society agrees on. There is no objective right or wrong. Morality is dependent on what society believes as a whole.”

Frank: “So if society changed their minds and decided that murdering Jews was actually best for humanity, it would become moral?”

Atheist: “No, because murdering Jews is wrong (objectively.)”. [proceeds to try and take the discussion down a rabbit trail of confusion.]

Frank's patience with the lost is astounding.

I dont think I've ever seen someone openly contradict themselves as this young guy did lol.

[johnlewisbrooks]

I'm constantly in awe of how Turek maintains his cool!

If that were me we'd be outside throwing hands lol.

[dixee]

Why.. why...why is it that at what it seems like at every college there's some kid who thinks they have that one tricky, magical, silver bullet of a question that's goung to trip up and confuse and stump Frank Turek with their carefully and pre-thought out questions? Don't they already know this man can be viewed just here on YouTube alone answering the same questions repeatedly? God bless you Frank and everyone at Cross Examined.

[chumbucket]

I’m glad to see a longer video! Please keep them coming!

[iconsworld]

I love this conversation from whatever position anybody takes I respect and love

[jeffphelps]

When an atheist makes a moral judgement it's based on their feeling and/or opinion

[Wondaslick]

It’s interesting how the more a person speaks you find the truth that’s really bothering them.

[nunya]

Geesh how we struggle to defeat our own moral compass. “My instinct says it’s wrong but that can’t be right because it contradicts what I want”

[raptor]

The other day I was thinking of praying for strength but I decided to pray for patience. Dr. Frank did a great job dealing with this person. Faith, hope, and love are some things He gave us... but the greatest is LOVE.

The inability to place oneself in a hypothetical event is a sign of below average IQ.

Teacher: let's say you didn't eat dinner, you would wake up the next morning very hungry, right?
This kid: but I did eat dinner last night.
Teacher: but let's say, for arguments sake, you did not. Would you be extra hungry at breakfast?
This kid: but I always eat dinner. I have never skipped dinner. Dinner happens every night in my house.
Teacher: but just imagine...
This kid: ...?

[danielbernhardt]

He’s arguing around the question, the question is if society collectively agreed that murder wasn’t wrong, would it still be wrong, and then his response is because we collectively agree it’s wrong it’s wrong. That conversation was a headache and a half.
