Episode Synopsis "Morality Without God - A Response to Chris LaForest"

Morality: did God set it up or did we?  I recently came across a YouTube video by Chris LaForest entitled "Atheism,  Agnosticism, Deism - What are they and what's with all the confusion?" Since he is an atheist, I asked him about his statement at the end of his video (13 min mark) where he said that people should "increase well being and reduce suffering". My question was: Is increasing well being and reducing suffering objectively right, or is it just his personal preference? If you've watched my Matt Dillahunty video on atheism and morality, then you know why I'm asking that.  In response to my question, he referred me to another video he had done entitled "We have to take morality away from the realm of religion".  This is the video that I am interacting with here.  To watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/Q60gBzDZXjU For more practice defending your faith, as well as your intellect, check out our Famcore website.
