Why do I believe in God? Because there is objectivity. There is objective truth, if there wasn't objective truth, then Hitler was justified in killing 11 million people.

An objective truth that contradicts itself. In the best light, it's supposed to be a system of checks and balances, but leave it to believers to find a way to make a mess out of it. And then call it objective.
"Justified" is a matter of opinion. Hitler did what he wanted to do
Truth has nothing to do with it. "Objective" in this case has the same weight as "Justified" but has no proof or evidence of a connection to a God.
In fact "objective truth" is a description of 'not true'
Fine. Guy walks into your house, puts a knife to your significant other's throat. You put a bullet between his eyes.
Congratulations, objective truth says you just killed a man, murderer.
What? That's different, you say?
Amusing that, for a post that combines a Godwin fail with an appalling non sequitir, they appear to get the actual # of Holocaust victims correct - the figure usually given, 6M, refers only to the Jewish victims. In reality Hitler could be blamed for all deaths resulting from German WWII campaigns, including deaths from famine and disease that would otherwise not have occurred, which would be at least three times as many. This is a very conservative estimate, I am deliberating allowing for millions to be attributed to Stalin for his early complicity with Hitler that simplistic analysis would attribute to Hitler.
Holy non-sequitur, Batman!
And the Bible contradicts itself and thus it cannot possibly be objectively true.
“Why do I believe in God? Because there is objectivity”
Science does do a lot of work to remove subjectivity from the research. But not ‘cuz god.
“There is objective truth,”
Wait, back up. Why does objectivity require god to exist in the universe?
“if there wasn't objective truth, then Hitler was justified in killing 11 million people.”
So, we need a SUPREME BEING in order to determine that attacks on our gene pool should not be tolerated? We can’t come up with a lesser truth that good morals produce the least amount of harm?
Gotta think if there IS a god and thus objective moral truths, then all religions would flog the same morality.
If we can’t come up with morals, where do the other religions get theirs?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
