Essay Causes Atheist to Question Beliefs

- For much of her life, Jordan believed that there was no evidence of God. When she debated with Christians, she always won. Then, during her freshman year at Harvard, she read an essay written by C.S. Lewis and began to question her own ...
Very important words that the narrator spoke: "She decided to read the Bible to try and understand it...not critique it". It makes all the difference.
It is literally impossible to read the juvenile trash propaganda that is the Bible and not want to critique it ... unless you've been lobotomized.
Exactly!! Where so many go wrong.
I'll tell you 5 facts that the bible knew about in science that we found out recently. It knew about the importance of blood in leviticus 17 11, cleaning in leviticus 15 13-15, understanding of germs in numbers 19 11-12, Earth hung on nothing in Job 26 7 quarentine in leviticus 13 46
It predicted in Isaiah that the messiah would: die crucified. Be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. Be born in Bethlehem. Be buried with the rich. Be rejected by his own people. All these prophecies about who the messiah would be and more, fit Jesus.
The bible also predicted that in the end of times, people would become extremely lustfull and that the nuclear family would not be the main thing anymore and that there would be an explosion of homossexuality, something unimaginable to see happening in the whole world back then, it is in Luke 17 28-30 Jesus saying it would be like in the days of Lot, like soddom and gommorah, extremely perverted cities where people banged everyone, there were orgies, basically no sex restrictions and they even wanted to rape angels... is that familiar to the world today? Because this "non restricted sex" thing is only getting stronger. It predicted that there woud be a time wich if two people revived (specific people, revelation 11) people from many different places would be able to see. How!? It didn't happen yet, but the bible knew that there was gonna be a time wich people would be able to see things happening anywhere from anywhere. It predicted that the euphrates river would dry up, and is drying up (if you look into revelation 16 you will see that it is the 6th vial, with the mark 666 being the first vial, and it didn't happen, but revelation is not a book to be read chronologically. Is a book that tells events in an order, making it clear it is not the chronological order) it predicted that there would be rumors of wars and wars, and that natural disasters would be much more common (matthew 24 6 and 7) and now we see a political division and hatred like never before, and if you just google "rise in natural disasters" you will see is not a small rise. You can argue that some of these things have always been arround, like the wars and disasters thing, but so many of them happening in less than a decade just like the bible predicted? Not to mention the prophecies about the messiah perfectly narrowing to Jesus long before he was born (and there are archeological evidences showing that the old testament was indeed written hundreds of years before Jesus was born) and the scientific facts that the bible already knew, and there are quite a few. This book just should never be taken for granted.

A wonderful testimony. God bless young lady.
Eventually Genuine truth seekers end up finding Jesus.
@asrgaqgq sdfgsdgsdfgsdg It's not a joke; Alex is correct. I was an atheist my whole life, and in university I decided I would look into every religion and every philosophical system to find the ultimate truth. I found that in philosophy it was impossible to contrive any existentialist ethic without committing the naturalist fallacy, and every philosophical system is profoundly unlivable. Later I realized it was unlivable because to live as a human without God is to live in cognitive dissonance: though you do not believe your life has purpose, you act as if it does.
I went on searching with a proud and disdainful heart toward Christian doctrine: after I realized that Jesus did in fact exist and that the NT is reliable, I tried to twist the words of Jesus to make him into a new age guru, but that is not who he was, he was a Jew and claimed to be meshiach. Then I read Isaiah 53 and my heart began to soften. Could this be true? I wanted anything to be true other than Christianity. but it was only when I finally emptied myself of a prideful heart that God spoke to me and I became aware of my brokenness and my sin. When I repented in tears I was given the holy spirit and set free forever.
Seriously I was taking phycadelics to see some interdimensional being but turned out Satan scared me directly into the arms of jesus
@@psychedelicdivinity2872 Damn.
Always. Because only He is true.
@@FlamSalad wonderful. I live in India, a country where we grow up believing that there are different religions and different gods but all lead to the same Creator. But people here, who genuinely seek truth are finding Jesus and Christianity is truly different from every other religion.
I love this testimony. Thank you!
Devin Hashemi but it makes no sense or logic 🙅
@@art-oq1pi It have BIG sense and logic! Many people now think they came from nothing or worst they are nothing... but when they learn that God Himself shed His Holy blood for them, that gives to them HOPE and GOAL in their lives!!! There is maybe more than 100 000 testimonies only from ex Atheists... God bless you!
@@НатанаилСталев-ф2р *it actually makes a lot of sense that these people deconverted in the way they did.
Now a days people think that the big bang and science in general is correct, and some people have a negative self image or believe that they are the result of an unintended process. But after they hear the story of Jesus christ, they are given hope and purpose.
Many people have deconverted
Bless you!
Praise God! I pray that her parents will come to know the truth too and I pray for all my fellow students who haven't yet opened up their hearts and minds to receive Jesus ❤
Lol why are atheists coming on a Christian video to argue that Christ isn’t real? if you don’t think God is real then why are you so worked up about it???Please Christians, stop engaging in negative conversations with atheists. Our God does not need defending.Unless the conversation is fair, respectful and sincere and evangelical then we don’t need to entertain persons who are just looking to have an argument. Love to everyone though❤️✝️
This isnt a video just for christians
asrgaqgq sdfgsdgsdfgsdg God bless !! Jesus loves you my friend ❤️
art에반 you’re right. God bless !
Amen! It's the Holy Spirits job to convict, not mans job. We are called to share the Great Commission, that's it. Plant the seed and let the Spirit of God take it from there💙 to argue with non believers is foolishness. No where in Scripture does Jesus Christ tell us to argue with the lost.

When you do read the Bible trying to understand it and not critiquing it, it is amazing how much wisdom it teaches you. It is also amazing how a reading will be just what you need at difficult times. I turned away from Christianity in my teens and then like her, investigated it again, comparing it with other belief systems. I became totally convinced that it was TRUTH and have never looked back.
I think you mean, when you read the Bible critically, it suddenly becomes obvious that it contains errors, contradictions, failed prophecies, and fake histories, but if you read it with confirmation bias, you will be blind to the problems with it.
@@doctorwebman I love the way critics of Bible believers always try to portray them as rather dull stupid people. It seems to me to just be an easy way to destroy your opposition's arguments. I have found that most critics don't even try to read the Bible but just rely on the fashionable critique of the day. There are many highly intelligent people over the centuries who studied and believed it.
@@MsDY45 "I love the way critics of Bible believers always try to portray them as rather dull stupid people."
I don't have to do that. I simply have to address the stupid things your religion makes you say. Whether or not you are actually stupid is hard to tell, because we are only discussing a stupid religion.
"It seems to me to just be an easy way to destroy your opposition's arguments."
I never said that Christians are wrong because of stupidity, but because the Bible contains errors, contradictions, failed prophecies, and fake histories. Try addressing my actual argument.
"I have found that most critics don't even try to read the Bible but just rely on the fashionable critique of the day."
What you fail to realize is that most atheists who were believers in the past became atheists because they read the Bible. I read the Bible both as a believer and as an atheist. It wasn't until I took my 'the Bible is always right, and can never be wrong' glasses off that I was finally able to see the problems with the Bible.
"There are many highly intelligent people over the centuries who studied and believed it."
There are also many highly intelligent people over the centuries who studied it and didn't believe it. What's your point?
@@doctorwebman I have a question, have you read the Bible for yourself, or did you go to some website where an atheist told you what to think about the Bible?
The lady in this video found out the truth for herself. That's what God wants all of us to do.
@@Keesha_Hardy " I have a question, have you read the Bible for yourself, or did you go to some website where an atheist told you what to think about the Bible?"
First of all, atheists score higher on average on tests of biblical knowledge, so you are more likely to get good information from an atheist.
Secondly, I was a believer from 1989-2007, and even briefly served as a pastor and teacher in the church, so I got my understanding of the Bible from reading it both as a Christian and an atheist, and from Christian pastors and teachers. I have found that my understanding of the scriptures is better now than it was a believer, because I no longer look at it with Jesus-goggles on, which have a tendency to blind one to the errors, contradictions, failed prophecies, and fake histories in the Bible, as well as the immorality of the laws in the Bible, and the immorality of the god of the Bible.
"The lady in this video found out the truth for herself. That's what God wants all of us to do."
She didn't demonstrate that she has found the truth. That would require evidence she obviously doesn't have.
May the Lord reveal himself to you if youre reading this right now and you dont know if you believe that God exists.
+Le123456 B Either he's trying to reveal himself but failing or he's not trying. And it's not a "you gotta want it" thing, because I want to know the truth and for me, all signs point to fiction.
Amazed at how some people are quick to debate & debase Christians out of contempt, arrogance & conceit; some actually seem to enjoy trying to humiliate believers so they can “lord” their logic & intellect over them. But even atheists, collectively or individually, do not have all the answers.
Keep in mind.. That's all they have. The pride of Intellect and trying to win the debate and or Argument. You have much more. The Truth -
Well it does say in Corinthians 3: that the wisdom of the earth is nothing before God, and those who pride themselves on earthly knowledge should delve into the foolishness of the Gospel to be saved (foolishness because those who pride themselves on earthly wisdom, and people in general perceive the gospel to be foolish).
@@hibye-by3yb yes that’s what atheists are for I’ve hear one atheist report that another atheist killed themselves because of Christianity lol! I’m not sorry but if you killed yourself that’s your own fault firing back at them because they easily get their emotions and feelings hurt 😆😆
@@IsraelCountryCube yeah, I feel like a lot of atheists are just people who have had really bad experiences with church, and tend to generalise religion as a force for evil. I can't blame them on the church, because there are always gonna be bad apples or even groups of them...
And I am proud to proclaim as an atheist that I have yet to answer all questions, and all the while ever hopeful that ill find just one more before oblivion.
I love how God changes people the way no man can.
Except, he doesn't seem to able to change most people.
If man raped somebody that would seriously change them.
Luckily for you your god isn't Zeus
Sounds a lot like my testimony! Because I always thought I was a righteous person and the smartest too. I found God during my last year of medical school. ROMANS 5:8 changed me and I started to understand the God's salvation plan for us! God works in miraculous ways. Praise God!!
I'm sad to see such mean and hateful comments coming from self proclaimed Christian's on a Christian channel. 🙁 Let's be happy that she finally understands what God was speaking into her heart all those years. It makes me want to study and have an answer for what ever "contradiction" questions I might be asked. I'd love to be the one to help someone understand the indescribable, unfathomable PEACE my Lord and Savior gives to my life.
I named my son’s middle name Edmund because I always identified with Edmund and I want my son to know he can always ask forgiveness and be redeemed.
Jesus said
“Anyone who is of the Truth
hears my voice.”
That is circular reasoning.
Christopher Johnson I don’t think your assertion is correct. I am not an
Expert in that field. Very complicated
to say the least.
Circular reasoning
Because of A therefore B.
Like Jesus saying
“Everyone in this room, hears my voice.”
It “might” be circular reasoning
But I doubt it.
Or it might be a FACT, that there are
3 people and Jesus in a room when he said it.
That is just an an example.
I doubt u outsmarted Jesus....
God Love u now
@@PInk77W1 it is circular reasoning because, it translates to very simply, "if you believe me, you are correct" so it becomes
"if you think what I say is true then you are correct in believing that what I say is true" the statement simply affirms itself. so if you try and use it to prove the statement is true you must start with the assumption that the statement is true.
killer oblivin
Jesus is God
God is Truth
Therefore
He who hears his voice is of the truth
I don’t see the circular reasoning ?
Jesus proved he was truth.
Even today we go around
Putting gays on a pedestal
And what did Jesus say ?
Jesus said
“The time is coming when they shall say how
Blessed are the barren.”
It happened
Jesus said they would kill him
It happened
Jesus said his apostles would flee
It happened
Jesus said he would rise from the dead
It happened
Jesus said he would start his church
It happened
Jesus said his church would last forever
It has
Jesus said a lot
And it was all true.
Maybe instead of you seeing circular reasoning
Maybe u are just obstinate?
@@PInk77W1 I'm trying to understand your position, so bear with me. Are you arguing that because everything Jesus said was truth that obviously he is truth? or are saying that Jesus is truth because god is truth and Jesus is god? Or both?

I have felt his love he is truth.
Just referencing her "good person" statement. I don't think most of us are OR at one point weren't good; I think some strive towards being good. This alone once you realize it makes the idea of Jesus' sacrificing himself to take on our "not good person-ness" or sin makes it all make more sense to me. I think in the physical world until we're all very honest about our short comings we'll keep cultivating corruption on some scale. And the fact that there was a guide book referencing that we are corrupting/corruptable and someone tried to help us ahead of time is genius and clearly something more. It's pretty amazing.

So long, my value had come from the things I’d done. So, moving to a framework where instead, the reason I knew I was valuable was because Christ had died for me. That he loved me regardless of what I would ever do...it’s immensely freeing.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
-2 Corinthians 3:17
What a neat story! C. S. Lewis is pretty awesome ;-)
Great testimony
It’s honest, intelligent people like you, who are in pursuit of the truth that come to Jesus. I was an atheist and i now believe in Jesus. The God of the Bible gives the only credible, factual, archaeological, and historical account of why there is existence and what happened in the past and why is there good and evil in the world. Something can’t come from nothing and you can’t have nothing. Nothing is zero time, zero space, zero matter, and zero energy. God bless!
Would you tell us what convinced you?
Praise Jesus!
There are people here who talk about critical thinking. Yet citing things in the bible and taking it literally. The bible is full of metaphors and it should not be taken at face value. Try and understand it better and you will see that it has a vast amount of wisdom and teachings that keeps us closer to God.
asrgaqgq sdfgsdgsdfgsdg how would you know? By reading it repeatedly ofcourse until you understand the true meaning of it. I suggest you try to search on youtube or in the internet about the writing styles that comprises the bible, then you will know

Beautiful story! I have to completely live for Jesus!😢🙏 I want to!
This is a weird thing to see for me. Probably because to me the natural explaination of where morality comes from is much more logical and fits reality much better then the religious one...
And just like her i've been searching (for quite a long time now) for justification for the belief in a higher power, and searching for good arguments against my own position that it is unlikely a god exists. But after 20 years if anything my atheïsm has grown stronger.
I still like to challenge my own views and beliefs and I still try to evaluate arguments against my position with as much of a neutral and unbiased stance as I can muster. But in all honesty I think the chance of me changing my position from atheïst to theïst is very very small by now...
Thank you for your honest comment! God loves you so much more then you could ever imagine. Happy Tuesday (Henrik)
That’s called critical thinking based on evidence provided from both sides. I’m 36 and at one times tried to justify a god, but I find the science of now is just to too contradicting of the bible.
@@Podcastforthewin ok, but let me try and spark some critical thought, forgive me if you've thought about it this way before. Indoctrination is a strong word, but you can apply it to every aspect of your life. It might sound radical, but schools indoctrinate you by affirming that science and knowledge by man is the be all and end all of knowledge. You might argue otherwise, but indoctrination is subtle much like culture. If you're a firm believer in science than I'm sure you'd agree that identity is socially constructed (social identity theory, ecological systems theory, are just a few); so your epistemology, ontology, and cosmology (the way of knowing things, the nature of self (being), and the nature of the universe) are all directed by your environment. In this way culture plays a big part in what you know and how you think, and people who are part of a majority culture do not realise they're a part of one. Think of it this way, its hard to define your own culture, but its super easy to point out others right? So you're constantly being indoctrinated, and I assume you're from a western background which loves the scientific method so you have been influenced by the belief that science is the best form of knowledge that you have access to. So there's a high possibility that you already have a bias against the bible as the many and conflicting theories about the universe from science try to disprove it. You should make up your own mind, but you only have one life, under your belief, so if something claims that there is a God, and that it contains the secrets about what happens after you die; it might be worthwhile to look into it and read it for yourself (its a big book and its daunting so reading John, and Corinthians may convince you). In the end if you call out to God and seek truth with earnestness, you'll be surprised how far it'll get you.
hi bye without a scientific background, you wouldn’t be posting that comment.
Testifying is a win-win: Win #1--honestly looking at ourselves (our journey) and why we believe, strengthens faith; Win#2--our story speaks to those listening, helping them identify with us and strengthening (or instigating) their faith also.
God bless you from Australia :)

❤️❤️❤️. So great.
There is freedom in Christ. It's so simple but yet so hard for many.
4:56 "I recognized my own incurable need for forgiveness that could only come from Jesus Christ."
How so? You're stating that as if there was an obvious logical connection. I can't find one. Why couldn't it have come from Allah or Buddah, or something else entirely?
*****
What about "or something else entirely" part? Don't act like Allah or Buddah are the only 2 choices I alluded to. There are hundreds of other religions, and I'm pretty sure some of them offer forgiveness.
EDIT: A quick perusal of Quran quotes seems to rule out your assertion that Allah doesn't offer forgiveness. I haven't checked Buddhism yet ...
+antred11 Because Allah only loves and blesses those who love him and Buddah is dead (not being able to do anything).
MrBradFu
Ok, so you've succeeded in ruling out 2 religions. Now there's only about 4,000 more to deal with.
antred11 I can't do all of them.
There is only 1 truth. It doesn't matter if there are 2 religions or 1 billion religions. They can all easily be ruled out because there is ONE truth. 1+1 does not equal 3.
O taste and see that the Lord is good.
Amen

Great story!!
Morality comes from a need in a community, if we disregard other members of the community we cannot thrive as a group.
Christ never taught to abandon the community, he preached the opposite. Sorry if I come off preachy
"She would try to understand it, not critique it." I honestly have no idea what to say. I've never been blind sided by stupidity that much.
I think you should understand something in order to critique it. What can you expect from Christian propaganda other that faulty logic and contradictory statements
True wisdom comes from the Lord Jesus.
She's so smart! A doctorate in Theology! Go girl!!!

Good testimony
Jonathan Cahn , the best-selling author and speaker, says he became an theist by the time he was only 8 In his teens he realized Christ is real Jonathan is quite a writer and speaker now
I wonder, as a Christian now, has she managed to solve/answer all the contradictions, or just ignore them? Betting it's the latter.
+Tovec8
Yea. That's what I was going to address too. How does someone THAT smart, not attempt to reconcile what she KNOWS is contradictory?
So she got the "lovey, touchy, feelys," about god "literally" IS goodness. Then what? If that's all there really is to being a christian, then let's dump the baggage (the bible). I'm SURE we would all get along better if all there is... is goodness.
+Tovec8 I think it's interesting that she was a good person, not sleeping around, not doing drugs, etc. but the bible helped her find how crappy she really was. Here she being angry and not realizing that anger is bad (sorry Jesus John 2:13-22)
Thurston Stone
I think it is interesting that she was a good person, and the religion she converted to told her she was a bad person and she accepted that even though she was a good person and chose the religion she did for emotional reasons. But to each their own Thurston.
Tovec Ok, so let's start with all these so called contradictions in the bible, and i will address them one by one.
When you start having God interact with you on a daily basis, blowing your mind in all sorts of natural and supernatural ways, you start to gain faith that there are answers awaiting discovery for all of the tough questions that you can't see answers to yet. And then you start getting revelation as you go, and one by one those questions start getting answered. But the key is that that process happens in the context of your personal relationship with the Creator of the universe, not just in your own intellectual search for answers.
I was lost and it wasn't until I seeked God that I had my chat with him. Asked a question while I was at church and everything around me was quiet silent then God allowed me to hear what was being said and it was a parable. I had to figure out what it was. I didn't quite understand what it meant at first. I dug deep in the bible and found it. The world I followed I followed no longer. What I was missing was discipleship into Jesus Christ. Christianity is the infant of being born again. Discipleship is the next level where the Angel's rejoice everytime someone is saved. God will say he knows you when you enter the kingdom of heaven. I want to know him before I enter. The want is what you need to feed your faith. Want to know him and to do his will before your own. Bless you all.
Great Story :)

35 Then the Lord said to Moses, (D)“The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall (E)stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died."
amen
Now if anyone is curious on the subject of morals and all that good stuff, of like the proving evidence for God, I highly recommend watching Christian Apologetics, it will strengthen your faith believers and make the non believers believe!! I feel.
I highly recommend watching Frank Turek on Cross Examined, here on UA-cam
She actually probably is the prettiest girl in the room many times
she's believer now coz of narnia
😂😂😂😂
Narnia is a symbol for Jesus. so you can quit your laughing. it's filled with symbolism pointing towards the real thing.
she read the Bible, and C.S. Lewis. not just Narnia....
then. she studied other religions and science....And it ALL pointed her to Jesus and his reality.
Yes! God is just that Creative! His love is beyond amazing! 😍😍😍
1 Samuel 15:3: "This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys."
God bless you and keep u
God is good?....by what moral framework can that even be asserted? A rudimentary reading of the old testament and the books of Deuteronomy, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, 1 Chronicles, 1 Samuel, Isaiah, all shows a god that sanctions slavery, genocide, rape, murder and infanticide. Here is an example: “Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.” (Isaiah 13:15-16)How, in anyone's mind is this an example of anything good, or anything divine?
👍🏽👍🏽
How did she reconcile the contradictions in the Bible? What degree did she graduate Harvard University with? What ""intellectual evidence"" she find to prove the existence of Jesus or God?
If you read only parts, they contradict. If you learn it all, they connect.
Brandon Shaver what contradictions my dude?
I_make_vids Watch the video kid
It’s something that most Christians are even blind to, which is why I refuse to be one of those Christians. So I spent months looking into this issue and the Bible cannot be any clearer. Most Christians ignore God’s command to rightly divide the word of God. That means each book of the bible is speaking to a certain group of people at different times. God deals with different people differently. This is because Jesus is a God of personal and unique relationships. He is a living God. Not a religion. The most important distinction is between the Jews and Gentiles, Israel and the Church as well as Before and After Jesus died on the cross. This is called dispensationalism, we deny the replacement theology. The Church is God’s spiritual Kingdom and Israel was His physical Kingdom, thus a Theocracy with different rules than today- which is Faith alone. God has not given up on Israel, He will deal with them again after the rapture of the Church during the tribulation. It will again be works salvation after the age of the Church.
Link1234595 We are currently in the Church age. Our salvation doctrine is
can be found in the Pauline Epistles from Romans through Philemon. Paul is the apostle for the Gentiles. We as the church have the Holy Spirit and are saved through Faith alone due to Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross. However since God has promised to restore our world to paradise, There will be a chain of events before the New Heaven and New Earth. This includes the 7 years Tribulation of Jacob’s troubles, the Millennial Kingdom of Christ, the Battle of Armageddon and the Great White Throne Seat Judgement.

Oh my Sweet Sweet Jesus.
I am just blown away..
Halfway through the video when the talk goes on about Aslan and Edmund I think it was one of those moments. Just to hear out loud that someone else felt that connection...
A few years ago when I was pretty bad Boy. After agonising months or torment, sleep paraysis I remember the most amazing dream, which I truly believe was an encounter with Christ.
I was walking through a field, lost and hating myself for the sinful life I was living.
Just then I was taken aback, to my right was a lion. But This lion Was gigantic that I thought no way can’t this be real.
I should have been crapping myself But I wasn’t scared of it at all.
It smiled at me and then just wrapped me under one giant paw and hugged me...right then n there I knew that was God. That feeling of just love from your creator..
But what strikes me even more was what Jordan said straight after about realising her own sinfulness
In my dream this great lion then said to me , I know you have sinned but I want you to know that I love and forgive you...
I don’t think I can describe this feeling other then my heaven.
This video is just amazing to watch for me. Thank you!!!
I always enjoy when an atheist finds the truth. Her testimony is valuable because she came from darkness into the Light of our Lord Jesus in spite of herself and Harvard University which has some anti Christian views. Thank you Jesus Amen.
I think you should read the post again, because friend you have it backwards.
An atheist has already found the truth. It's why they're an atheist.
Joseph... you know this isn't real right it's propaganda? I'm an atheist and while watching it I could obviously tell its fake. Even if it was real the video doesn't prove God's existence because she admitted she went purely off feelings. Feelings are not facts.
And here I was hoping this would be good, lets assume I have no idea where morality comes from or even if it exists... Therefore what? God exists? That would be an argument from ignorance, just because you have an explanation that could possibly work, does not mean that it is true or likely true.
And where does my value come from? that entirely depends on what you think is important.
And if the question of morality goes down the path of "if morality isn't based objectively what's to stop people from murdering and raping," then that commits the argument from consequences fallacy, just because if something were true it would have negative consequences doesn't mean its false. No matter how you slice or dice it, this argument is dead on arrival.
