Responda

Vardy says that NML "fails to consider the person as a psycho-physical unity" and is too simplistic to use for complex, individual moral dilemmas.

-
Hume argues that there could be more than one God or perhaps an evil God.
-
Barth argues that "There is not enough consideration on the grace of God and Revelation in the Bible" and human nature is too corrupt to be trusted. Thus NML is not reliable or applicable since our reason is corrupt and tainted due to original sin.
-
Moore states that NML commits the naturalistic fallacy.
-
Scientists would state that there is no purpose in our world. For example, quantum physics highlights the randomness of our world and the lack of order and purpose. Even if there was purpose, it would not be as simple as the Primary Precepts.

Barclay argues that society requires laws and rules in order to avoid chaotic anarchy. NML provides objective rules to follow.
-
NML's objectivity and absolutism provides cohesive clarity in moral decision-making, unlike Bentham's confusing hedonic calculus or Fletcher's subjective agape love.
