Response to Dark of All Trades discussing the Moral Argument
#atheists #atheism #skeptics #skepticism
Recently another YouTube channel called Dark of All Trades released a video discussing the Moral Argument for God. Dark of All Trades is an excellent content creator, and someone I watch regularly myself. He's highly recommended. With that said though, there were some things in his video that I felt like discussing. Much of it related to the practice of 'fallacy bingo', or the practice of calling out fallacies. Often times incorrectly, and in the case of Dark of All Trades' video they were called out incorrectly.
In this video I discuss some of the problems with his reframing of WLC's Moral Argument, and the many fallacies that are misapplied to it. As well as have a little rant about the practice of fallacy bingo, and the many misunderstandings of logic and fallacies that many sceptics and atheists have. I only cover about half of Dark of All Trades' video, and only the part concerned with the calling out of fallacies and his reframing of the argument. I definitely recommend going and watching the rest of the video. He does make some excellent criticisms of Craig and the Moral Argument, he just also made some faulty ones that I thought were worth highlighting.
