Witless theology

Albert Mohler undertakes to instruct the Pious that unbelievers can have no morality.

One final thought here, if you are an unbeliever, an atheist in any consistent sense, any sense in which you’re actually clearly denying a creator and thus creation, meaning in the cosmos, ultimate transcendent meaning, if you are denying that there truly is any such reality as an objective morality that is based upon moral judgment outside of ourselves.

If indeed you hold to a morality that isn’t just based in something like a Darwinist conception of the survival of the fittest, as Herbert Spencer would say, or you might just say even natural selection as Darwin explained it.

This is not serious thought; it’s evangelical marketing to the thoughtless who need to be reassured that they’re special, that they’re good and decent and everybody else is wicked-wickedwickedWICKED.

Bah.
