Good will, or ethics, outside the dictates of God, are conditional or situational, only God can hand down absolute statements.
Kant would disagree with that.
God plays very little part in what Kant says. But what he does say is that human have a conditional and subjective understanding of reality.
Sorry, I probably created a misunderstanding with my response. Yes, Kantian ethics does not rely on God as the universal and absolute moral authority. Moral authority in Kantian ethics comes from practical human reasoning.
Re: beond belief
Yes what i ment is that in terms of kant.he is inside belief in god he reasons in side his belief for the cause and furtherance of the belief.so he is a friend of god for doing that job.

Bollocks! You are claiming that all of mankind that does not follow theism is unethical. Were all those before theism was thought-up unethical?jackles wrote:What it means ethics is god in man.so ethics will not act against ethics .so by saying there is no god that in its self is unethical.what then remains in ethics without out god is psuedo ethics with no root.
I think Ayn Rand had the right of this, the root of Ethics is reasoning and rational Man. No 'God' needed.

Do you have evidence that man existed before Theism? Or is it just something you would like to believe because it fits your world view.

Re: beond belief
If you take ethics to be your identity then yes.
