There is quite a big gap in between absolute standard, therefore God, and Old Testment God, therefore no God.

Biblical discussions can come well after a decision about morality, right and wrong.

For me, I'm still waiting for someone to explain how there can be an absolute standard for human behavior without God.[/quote]Thomas Aquinas clearly outlined the path. He believed that God wrote morality into the fabric of the universe and that we could learn right and wrong from it. This is the concept of natural law.

So suppose you are a theist and I an atheist. (This is not true btw I am Catholic).  If we both observe the same objective universe we can obtain the same moral truths. Yet the atheist firmly believes this universe to be possible without God.

So this puts the theist in the tough position of arguing that there must be a God for this universe to exist. Problematic given the tendency of cosmologists toward atheism.

So yes to answer your question in a nutshell, the most famous philosopher of Christian History says that objective morality exists within the very construction of the universe and does not require aGod to speak in order to convey it [/quote]
