The God Delusion


Shermer, in The Science of Good and Evil, calls it a debate stopper.If you agree that, in the absence of God, you would 'commitrobbery, rape, and murder', you reveal yourself as an immoralperson, 'and we would be well advised to steer a wide coursearound you'. If, on the other hand, you admit that you would con-tinue to be a good person even when not under divine surveillance,you have fatally undermined your claim that God is necessary forus to be good.
