Summary

Were the concentration camps of the Holocaust absolutely evil, or simply something that goes against people's tastes today? Canon Angus Ritchie is the author of "From Morality to Metaphysics" in which he argues that God is the best explanation of moral realism (that there are objective moral facts). Kile Jones is an atheist studying for a PhD. He argues that God is an unecessary entity when it comes to explaining why there may be a realm of objective morality.
