Paper
I should be doing my essay but in the course of my research I found this. This quote is from a paper by Eric Demaree, called 'The Case for Christian Objectivism'.
'This paper also builds on C. S. Lewis and Dostoevsky to provide irrefutable evidence for God's existence: If God is dead, everything is permitted. Obviously, in every person's mind, at least a few things are not permitted; consequently, in every person's mind, a God who demands morality is alive.'
Is Mister Demaree using that silly, circular, eons-old 'prove I'm wrong' rationality that has been failing people like him, and making people like him fail, for millennia? Is he another one of those Bible-waving, banner-flying, finger-pointing, loud-yelling nutjobs who seem so numerous these days? Is Fyodor Dostoevsky rolling in his grave?
These are my issues without even reading the whole paper.
