I introspected and realized that not only did I not believe on a gut-level that there could be such a world, I also couldn’t think of any convincing argument to imagine it intellectually at least. I also realized that even though it may not be sufficient to convince me of the inexistence of God, it would be a strong blow to my faith nonetheless, and it’s almost definitely a necessary argument to atheism.
The phrasing is a little ambiguous. Just to confirm:
you don’t believe that there can be a godless moral world
if there could be a godless moral world, that would go towards convincing you of the inexistence of God
proving the existence of a godless moral world is necessary to atheism
Are those your points? Just curious. I can’t give arguments for a godless moral world, because I don’t believe in a moral world. And (therefore) I disagree with point 3). Atheism doesn’t need to prove the existence of a godless moral world because our world is not a moral world (by your definition).
Indeed that is what I meant.
I think the amorality of the world is even less likely than the inexistence of God, which is why I figured I should look into that first, but feel free to explain how the world could be amoral.
Just to be sure we’re on the same page, by a “moral world” you just mean that the world has a morality system dictated from the upper echelon (God), correct?
Also, do you mean that an amoral world is impossible, or just that our current world is moral?
I’m asking because I just don’t think in those terms on my own.
Edit: I got a partial answer from your reply to another comment, and I continued there.
