If you were a theist, how would you set about proving that morality comes from god? Are there any good arguments for a god-created morality? I can't think of any.

I'd like to throw my hat into the ring. As a response to this video, I have written this blog post : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GubZuGdsfkw Before I go further, I need to make some clarifications and distinctions in terms of atheism and agnosticism. Atheism is rejecting any belief that any kind...

I don't know what straw man post means. I'm 10 minutes into Stef's video on agnosticism but here are my first thoughts on your replies: I guess I'm not an agnostic? Going by your assumptions on my beliefs, I disagree with pretty much all of it. I believe my definition of "God"...
