He flatly rejected the Bible, the U.S. Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence as any kind of standard. People like Mr. Dershowitz have a serious problem at this point. How dare he or anyone else say that certain beliefs are right or wrong, when they have no clue as to how to establish a moral standard. Postmodern thought thrives on the concept that there are no absolutes. Besides the obvious self contradiction of such a position, those who hold to it point their fingers and condemn others who don't agree with their ideology, all the while arguing that there are no ultimate standards of what is right or wrong.
Consistency demands that much.
Atheists and skeptics are at an impasse in explaining morality. Once they deny an ultimate standard, they give up their right to tell anyone else what is good or right. Such a position has no credibility. Doy Moyer dec.
