This next argument for God's existence goes as follows: If God does not exist, then objective moral values cannot exist. However, objective moral values DO exist; therefore, God does exist.
Have ever made a statement like, "That's not fair," or "What they did was evil," or "These are bad people"? Statements like these are moral judgments, and we make them all the time. But what are our morals based on?
Let me give you some historical events as examples. The Crusades, the Inquisition and the Holocaust were truly horrible events. Imagine the Nazis had succeeded in their quest and exterminated all the Jews and other "undesirables." In this scenario, they also killed or brainwashed anyone who disagreed with them. So now, everyone alive agrees that what the Nazis did was a good thing: would you say that it's STILL wrong, or does it become right, since everyone agrees that it was right?
Most people would agree that what the Nazis did was truly wrong; similarly, people agree that things like murder, rape, stealing, and child abuse are truly wrong, no matter who you are or what you believe. People also agree that things like charity, forgiveness, love, and self-sacrifice are truly good. These are objective moral values. If morals depended on our own feelings, then they would be SUBJECTIVE. If morals were decided by "society," they would STILL be subjective, since societies differ all over the place. Without God, nothing is REALLY right or REALLY wrong; morals become our own personal preferences.
The only way for morals to be OBJECTIVE is if we have a standard outside ourselves in which to judge things. The only thing that can fit this is God. God is our objective standard, and He instills in each of us the knowledge of right and wrong.
In conclusion: objective moral values DO exist; therefore, God does exist.
