Moral Argument

In A Nutshell: Can objective moral values exist without God?

Explained: (Objective moral values = values that lie outside the individual's ethics - e.g. the actions of the Nazis would continue to be wrong even if they succeeded in brainwashing everyone, or winning the war. The idea that there is a definitive right and wrong). The death of God is the destruction of value in life, and without God there is no absolute right or wrong. Objective moral values and duties do exist, as some things are inherently good/bad, right/wrong. Therefore logically, God exists.
My Opinion: This makes sense to me, as I'm a firm believer that there are some things which are absolute wrongs, or are never acceptable. Plus, I agree that God is a sort of marker for these objective moral values.
