What does it mean "senses working correctly" ? In this particular case I would say; works in accordance with 99% of the population. Ken Go back some decades when there was slavery in USA for example. How many percent viewed it as something wrong? It would be a very small percentage. But i...

I often hear Christians claim the existence of “objective morality” as opposed to all morality being subjective. What is it? Is it like math where anybody who understands math will agree that 1+1=2, or like anyone with their 5 senses working correctly will see the grass is green, that sugar is swee...
