Right from Wrong

- Why Religion Fails and Reason Succeeds

Bag om Right from Wrong

Where does morality come from? ApologistsΓÇöpeople who offer a formal defense of their religionΓÇöpoint to God as the answer. By inspiring scriptures that people can read, study, and teach, God supposedly gave humanity a guidebook for how to live. Award-winning scholar of religion and politics Mark Alan Smith shows the errors in this chain of assumptions. Apologists find themselves forced to accept a book that condemns same-sex love and authorizes slavery, genocide, capital punishment for minor offenses, and many other practices widely recognized today as immoral. Apologists try to protect their worldview by ignoring the offending passages, constructing strained reinterpretations, rationalizing the indefensible, or appealing to GodΓÇÖs mysterious ways. Is there a non-religious method for discovering the elements of an objective morality? Yes, Smith arguesΓÇöthe worldview of humanism. Humanists apply reason, logic, and, evidence to all subjects. SmithΓÇÖs humanist approach to morality relies on discussion and debate among diverse participants as the best means to attain a moral code stripped of the biases of each individual, group, and society. The result is a hopeful portrait of how to build on the moral progress humans have achieved since the writing of religious scriptures
