No, if your belief is when you die you are terminated from existence, then to what purpose would living an ethical life be an incentive.

No. In essence, this lane of thought holds that it really is about the survival of the fittest, in which case, if I am stronger, bigger, and faster than you… then ethically, I can do as I please, regardless of how it affects you.

No. Holding to the belief that your ethical values are manmade by a group of people and can be different from another group of people would bring disunity and confusion when you interact with others – no ethics. Only the Perfect Creator truly defines right and wrong…and it’s universal.

No, You need to follow God’s perfect example of truth… He is the best example of what is right and wrong. No other worldview can achieve that.

The naturalist believes that each culture defines for itself what is ethical which would ultimately mean that there is no such thing as ethics. It’s only a manmade construct to conform to dependent on the people group you’re in.
