A Respectful Dialogue:
Does Objective Morality Exist?
With Atheist Steve Mendelsohn and 
Christian Apologist John Murphy

This month, the Austin Chapter of Reasonable Faith will host another respectful dialogue between Atheist Steve Mendelsohn, author of the book Shallow Draughts: Faith in the Absence of Free Will, along with numerous other articles circulated in various atheist publications, and John Murphy, Christian apologist, and President of the Austin Chapter of Reasonable Faith.

Does Objective Morality Exist?
Steve Mendelsohn will be defending the view detailed in his book that objective morality does not exist. That is, all of our morality is subjective. John Murphy will be defending the thesis that objective morality exists if and only if a Divine Lawgiver exists. Mr. Murphy will argue that a Divine Lawgiver exists; therefore, objective moral values exist.
