An Atheist Asks About Morality, Cosmology and Hell

At the University of Dallas last month, a polite atheist (Carter) had four major questions/objections to my “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist” presentation.  Our nine minute exchange covered the following questions/objections:

1. 1. Your moral law argument is offensive because by it you are asserting that atheists can’t be moral.
   2. Why are you assuming that God is the cause of the universe?  Couldn’t something in another dimension cause the universe?
   3. Why do we have to worship the cause of the universe?
   4. If we don’t worship the cause of the universe, God will send us to Hell.  So we really don’t have a choice.
