Social media today abound with reports of how wicked America is, some Americans declaring loud and long how ashamed they are of their country. They clearly don’t have all, even nearly all, the relevant information. Americans, led by American Christians, are incredibly generous, something the world depends on, something we can all be proud of.

Almost everyone recognizes the existence of objective moral values and duties – some things are always right, and other things are always wrong, no matter what any individual or society thinks. How do we explain their objectivity? If it is not based on God, then it can only be based on decisions made by individuals or societies, but that would mean they are no longer objective. So if there are objective moral values and duties, that is a very strong argument that God exists.
