Topic A: Morality Without God? 

Watch the two videos by Stephen Darwall and discuss whether you find his arguments convincing or if you see some holes or flaws. If so, discuss those flaws. If not, discuss what some of the ramifications can be of his conclusions. Please try to find some scholarship to back up your assertions.
