A Question Atheists Can't Answer
Support the channel by visiting https://brianholdsworth.ca
The particular kind of atheism I’m addressing here is the kind that says that only what can be materially observed and empirically measured is real and that if you want to assert anything as true, that is the kind of evidence you have to provide.
And it is on such ground that they accuse religious believers of being superstitious because we cannot provide empirical evidence for our religious claims.
So it is to this kind of atheist that I pose a question I don’t believe they can answer. The question is: is slavery wrong?
And the reason I ask that question is because all respectable people will frantically trip over themselves to be the first to affirm that it is indeed wrong and I hear many atheists accuse the Bible of being morally inferior for not going far enough to condemn slavery.
But I don’t believe that the atheist of the variety I described earlier can answer this question sufficiently. By that, I don’t mean that they don’t have answers, just that their answers are illogical and expose the inconsistency in the kinds of evidence that they demand of others to account for their beliefs.
Because if you’re going to logically account for the truth of a statement, you have to be able to define the terms of that statement. Slavery is easiest enough to define so I won’t bother doing so here, but the word, “wrong” is one that I’ve never heard defined in a way that is consistent with atheism.
