Furthermore, what is morally good (ethical) cannot be separated from what is real (metaphysical) and what is true (epistemological).
But atheism has no ultimately transcendent foundation upon which to ground a normative morality. Without God, objective moral values have no metaphysical anchor and thus cannot be accounted for in an ultimately meaningful way.
In atheism, Charles Manson and Mother Theresa have exactly the same reward: nothing. There is no ultimate reward for doing good and no ultimate punishment for doing evil. In fact, in atheism, good and evil are simply repositories for whatever they want to fill them with.
Unlike atheistic attempts to account for morality, the ethics of Christian theism are grounded in the morally perfect nature of God who has specifically revealed his will to mankind. God is therefore the source and foundation for objective moral values in which absolute moral law extends from the cosmic moral Lawgiver.
The God revealed in the Judeo-Christian Scriptures is the morally perfect person who stands behind the objective moral order discovered in the universe.
It is for these and many other reasons why Atheism, on the other hand,
fails the world.
