Morality is Divine by Maclain Hunter: Abstract: Morality requires the existence of (the) Moral Authority. By definition “God”, as defined in the OED, is the Moral Authority. Likewise the OED says “Divine” refers to what is God, of God, like God, or from God, which God and the Moral Authority, and all morality are. I will demonstrate this formally. It is importantly we not arbitrarily say things like, “you don’t need God to have morals” by discounting “God” as a term for the Moral Authority or we risk bastardizing language and our ability to reason with it and with each other. We then risk falling into dangerous and self-undermining forms of relativism (ie - Nietzsche and his moral relativism’s undermining of “Logocentric Morality” (largely synonymous with Classical Morality) and its direct and well documented influence on Nazism). Without further adieu here are my premises: P: God: the Moral Authority; the Ruler of the Cosmos; the Supreme Entity/Being; the Logos or Logic of Reality; the Order and Logical Standard of (Reality and Logic’s) Coherence fundamental to the Cosmos (the Ordered Universe). Q: Divine (or the Divine): what is God, God-like, of God, or from God; the opposite of the illogical and ungodly. R: Morality: the logically derived quality of being reasonable and good, in the context of Ethics and in the sense of being ethical; Agathon or True Goodness (the Greatest Goodness); the lack of evil and sin (defined as “moral and logical error”), or moral and logical correctness (Coherence) - determined objectively by the Logical Standard (Logos - Pure Reason and logically coherent Logic). S: Assume ~{P, Q, R}. This assumption leads to logical contradiction and logically incoherent morality, Moral Authority, and notions of “Divinity”. Coherence between these concepts is fundamental not only to abstract Logic but concrete Reality too. Reality and logical systems would collapse if there were no Logos serving the role of the coherent Logical and Moral Source and Standard (the Ontological Ground). Only the Logos truly satisfies the need for Universal Cause (Logos - Pure Reason) supporting the Universe that the Essence of Logic and the Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) demand. If there is no Logos or the PSR is invalid/irrelevant (or arbitrarily not accepted subjectively) then it would even be consistent with that for me to declare my Logocentric Morality the Objective Morality you need to follow (as even a poorly reasoned direct order), since I would not then need sufficient Cause (Logos - Reason) for things or in my course of action. Either way you must follow the Logos, and have a Logocentric Morality to satisfy Logic and I. Nothing else will do, and defiance does not substitute for acceptance or Rationality here. T: Contradiction and Sin: moral and logical misalignment and error. Contradiction and sin are interchangeable in the sense that they are both misalignment with the Logos and Universal Order (Reality’s Logic) at the end of the day. To argue that contradiction was and is not sin or immorality is itself contradictory and arbitrary as contradiction ultimately suffers from and is marked by the same logical misalignment that objective “evil” (or sin) is. Like money is fungible, misalignment of one kind is ultimately “misalignment” - just as another form of misalignment is. To create arbitrary distinction between contradiction of Logic and sin would be misleading and can obscure the fact that misalignment with Logic and Reason is what objective immorality and unethical behavior is and must (logically speaking) be defined by. Logical Proof: {P, P <-> Q, Q <-> R, R <-> S, S <-> T} |= ((P & Q) & (R & S)) & T Conclusion: {P, Q, R, S, T}: To separate Morality from God or Divinity is incoherence and itself an instance of immorality (sin - contradiction) that we (the Rational - Logos and the Logos manifest) will not accept. There is no such thing as Morality that isn’t Divine. That is a contradiction like having Logic that isn’t Rational. One may try to avoid their sin and the contradictions in their own framework/life by denying there is any God or “Divine Morality” but this moral relativism doesn’t change the Logos’s position as the True God and Moral Authority that defines ethical and logical behavior (coherently and as the same thing universally).
