[Main Blog Post] [Book] Thoughts on A Short History of Ethics

This has taken a bit longer to put together than I anticipated given the length of the book, as indicated by the title A Short History of Ethics, but I hope I've done it justice, and as usual, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for the blog, that was a long read! "because God said so, that's why" is something I've never heard a believer say. It's obvious to every Christian that the bible has texts supporting every side of every argument, and that no two people agree on what God says.

They also say God is everywhere, which is I think a good solution to the riddle. You know what's right, and the fact that you can't model it rationally doesn't make it otherwise.
