PHL100Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Jean-Paul Sartre, Immorality, Religious Text
Document Summary
Without god, there is not external source of values. Reason why atheists are ranked as low as can be as trustworthy public servants. God says this is good because it is already the case that this is good. God is a messenger that informs you of something that is good in itself. This is the favoured answer because there are serious problems with the other. The other is: what is good is good because god says so. The first problem is you have no way of knowing what gd is saying or what you think god is saying. You are the person who has picked this text instead of another text regarding to another religion and another. God who is talking about what is good or bad. You have no way of knowing what is god"s voice. So sartre says that if a voice speaks me, i must decide if this is the voice of a angel or god.
