Existence is "What is". — Philosophim

Fair enough. Don't some expression of phenomenology try to break down the mind/body problem with embodied cognition? — Tom Storm

It's just that we always seem to come back to quesions about what is true and how do we know it.

That's because you are religiously blind, don't you know? :wink: — Janus

Apologists' being anyone who questions naive realism, right? — Wayfarer

1. If "objective moral good" entails objective moral bad
— 180 Proof
i.e. show that the latter (bad) is not entailed by the former (good). — 180 Proof

The landmass may have been called Europe by some guy called Ptolemy, but so what? It is only relevant because we now through our construction of history hold Ptolemy in high regard. — Tobias

It is through conquest that 'Europe' became a thing. Not by being a 'thing in itself' but an entity developed, adorned and embellished by ...

Scholasticism to me is not a candidate for any special status. Islamic and Judaic philosophers were more adapt at it, or at least equal.

1. If "objective moral good" entails objective moral bad — 180 Proof

The human fear of death.
—180 Proof

I wonder, what is fear? — Constance

The landmass was already called Europe since ancient times. — Lionino

... according to the OP, "objective morality" is conditional, not "existence".
—180 Proof

Can you quote the part of the OP you're talking about? — Philosophim

The point I will make below: If there is an objective morality, the most logical fundamental aspect of that morality is that existence is good. — Philosophim

What changed the direction Europe was going? — Athena

No worry on the delay, have a safe trip! — Philosophim

3 is incorrect. If there should be existence, then the absence of existence would be bad.

1. If "objective moral good" entails objective moral bad, and

2. if "objective moral good" assumes "existence is good",

3. then objective bad assumes existence is bad;

4 therefore if "objective morality",

5. then it necessarily assumes existence is both good and bad (i.e. "should be" and should not be) simultaneously – which is a contradiction;

6. therefore either (A) "objective morality" is not possible or (B) "objective morality" does not necessarily assume (5) the contradiction "existence should be";

7. however, objective morality is possible (e.g. disutilitarianism),

8. therefore (B) objective morality does not necessarily assume (5) the contradiction "existence should be". — QED

I am asking what there is in the world that gives religion its fundamental justification. — Constance

Religion (i.e. cult), n. The private and public worship, or propitiation, of spirits (i.e. disembodied agents) primarily by practicing ritual reenactments of myths and legends. Animism (with or without shamanism) might be the oldest form of religion, or superstition.

Many atheists actually don't deny the existence of gods. I am an atheist. I don't make a positive claim like that. — Tom Storm

Fear of death assumes there is something fearful about death. — Constance

Religion rises out of the radical ethical indeterminacy of our existence. — Constance

This fallacy goes around and is very popular (with the like's of @BitconnectCarlos and the type).

Then again, genocide does work as a way to destroy the enemy... totally. As the Romans themselves said: Ubi solitudinem faciunt pacem appellant (they create a desert and call it peace). Worked wonders for the Mongol Empire for a short time. But is there moral justification for this kind of war? No. — ssu

Morality is more than one's own self-interest. — Philosophim

Correct. But how should I respond to my suffering?

And this still does not answer the more fundamental: 'Why should I exist to suffer at all?'

No disagreement here [ ... ] And the more fundamental: 'Why should humanity exist to flourish at all?'

We are (often) reasonable in order to cooperate, or negotiate non-zerosum resolutions to conflict. 
— 180 Proof

And what if it is reasonable that murdering the other person resolves my conflict and helps me to flourish?

And once again, to the more fundamental: 'Why should beings with reason exist at all?'

I still don't see it as objective. — Philosophim

For example, why should humans flourish?

Why should humans be reasonable?

I would not call the original sect prior to Paul, "Christianity". Paul put the Christ in Christianity — schopenhauer1

(5) There are prayer-induced experiences of observations that correspond to Bible-specific propositions, therefore they are evidence Christianity is true. — Hallucinogen

the mad god Dionysus — Ciceronianus

I think you may have meant 'can't'. — bert1

See? It doesn't work.

God had an idea that something very unpleasant and sometimes fatal was a good idea. I suspect that a kinder omnipotence would have found a better way to achieve those good ends. — Vera Mont
