I made a meme:

I think it captures the point that legalism and license to sin are both enslaving and how license to sin is a false freedom.

Point: Presuppositional Apologetics makes the point that without God there will not be the possibility of knowledge.  I would also add without God there would not be the possibility of epistemic virtues being intellgible and meaningful.  By epistemic virtue I mean things that involves character and skills a knower possess that is involve with acquiring knowledge.  And if there is no such thing as epistemic virtues and epistemic skills then the foundation for education is destroyed.

Establish the need: Why is this session important? We often hear discussion about God and the problem of evil.  However we must not downplay or neglect the issue of evil and the problem of atheism.

Purpose: In this session we shall discuss four points to help us think about evil and the problem of atheism to realize that in wrestling with the problem of evil there is a problem with atheism.

• All worldviews have the burden of proof of explaining how evil exists
• Atheism undermine the existence of evil: What atheist have to say
• If God is the basis for determining good and evil then there is no problem of evil
  God uses evil to bring about good

Point: In yesterday’s post Apologetics Session 7: Atheism and the problem of Morality I argued that if God is not the source of morality then morality becomes nonsensical.  How do we convey the idea to someone we are talking to?

• 

Establish the need: Can people have morality without God?

Purpose: We will look at three points concerning the problem of ethics in an atheist worldview.

2. What is the nature of morality?
3. What is the origin of morality?
