Dinesh D’Souza and Peter Singer will debate “Is God the Source of Morality?” on Monday, September 13, with Eric Metaxas as moderator–brought to you by Socrates in the City. Promises to be an interesting evening!
The New Yorker has called Peter Singer “the most influential living philosopher,” but his critics have called him “the most dangerous man in the world.” He is widely known for his view that animals have the same moral status as humans.
The New York Times Magazine has called D’Souza one of America’s most influential conservative thinkers, famous and infamous for his theories on religion, race, gender, and sexuality. He is the author of many best-selling books, including: What’s So Great About Christianity?
Registration is required to attend–and, no doubt, these seats will go fast.

This looks like a must-see!
Two worthy adversaries.

The title leaves me with a theological question. I hold to natural-law ethics and I know how I would answer the debate’s question, but I wonder about other answers. So here’s my question, for any natural-law theorists out there: How would you answer the question “Is God the Source of Morality?” without too much qualification?

Mr. Payne, you may be interested in this post of mine (“No Morality Without God”, 2008) if you have some time.
Thanks.

If Dinesh is one of the most influential conservative Christian thinkers in the USA, then USA Christianity is in deep deep trouble.

Last year D’Souza was here on our campus debating Hitchens after being paid scads of money by those who tought that this was a good idea. D’Souza is a second rate thinker who makes his living doing this sort of thing.
It will be a temptest in a teapot.
