Does Good Come from God?

A video debate between Sam Harris and William Lane Craig.

Well, if you're into a religion that believs in God, then I'd say you probably say yes. If you are NOT in a religion that believes in God, or you yourself don't believe inGod, then I'd think you probably would say no.

Look at this problem pragmatically. All religious belief, in some way, obstructs the believer from rational scientific areas of knowledge. Look at the republican national conventions and see how many of the candidates refuse to believe in evolution, despite mountains of evidence, because of a 2000 year old desert superstition. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

God gives a lot of people something to hold on to and something to go to during bad times. I know plenty of people who went through some real rough stuff and religion helped them get through their crisis. There are 2 sides to this argument just like there are 2 sides to religious people: Those who live and let live and those who believe that only their God is right and they need to tell and convert everybody.

That's how I see it.

Plus, you have 3 different religions that say their Bible is right. Not all of them can be right and the other two wrong.
