Poll: What grounds objective moral truth?

January 1, 2013 by Maryann Spikes

Unknown-1Choose one option from this poll:

What grounds objective moral truth (think “human rights”)? 

  1. The good is a construct of God, man or nature.
  2. God wills the good in accordance with his loving nature.
  3. Nothing, there are only constructs which do not obligate.

Or, in other words: 

  1. The good is a construct of God, man or nature—the good is created (made up).
  2. God wills the good in accordance with his loving nature—the good is discovered.
  3. Nothing, there are only constructs which do not obligate—there is no good (neither).

Or, in three words:

created/discovered/neither — easy to memorize

Take the rest of the poll.

    Why isn’t both an option?

      Hi Jenny, just saw your question. Both is not an option, because it’s like saying a story is ‘both’ true ‘and’ made up.

Unity Statement

In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, in all things charity. The Christian Apologetics Alliance (CAA) is united in our Statement of Faith. The CAA does not, as an organization, have positions on many of the doctrinal or theological debates that take place within the church. Our primary concern is to promote the gracious, rational defense of the central claims of Christianity and the critique of opposing systems of thought. The CAA joyfully welcomes Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and diverse Protestant believers, and we are committed to treating all these traditions with respect in our community.
