C.S. Lewis on the Existence of God


The "Moral Argument" for C. S. Lewis is as follows:

1. If God does not exist, objective moral values & duties do not exist.

2.) Objective moral values & duties do exist.

3.) Therefore, God exists.

There's that pesky word "objective" again. That seems to be the key to most arguments, doesn't it? If there is no such thing as objective truth or absolute truth, you can't really have an argument, can you? The argument turns into a discussion (quarrel ?) of opinions, and by definition opinions are subjective, not objective.
