Moral Argument

The Moral Argument posits that if objective moral values exist—meaning certain actions are universally right or wrong—then there must be a source for these values. This source is often thought to be a higher power or God. Proponents argue that without God, morality becomes subjective and varies from person to person or culture to culture. Therefore, the existence of objective morals suggests that there is a grounding beyond human opinion, which many identify as divine. Essentially, it raises the question of where our sense of right and wrong originates, suggesting a connection to a moral authority.
