I'm asking why you feel you are right. Not why you don't feel you know you are right. Why do you have a feeling anyways? Why not becoem like Wallym, and not praise or condemn humans at all?
*sigh* Feelings, have an evolutionary advantage. Fear right two out of three times is safer than not feeling fear three out of three times when one is right. Our brains are the products of evolution, not perfection, and not some ultimate design.
As to why I choose to praise and condemn? Well, in part feelings. But, from the point of view of a human woman, living in North America, some things are better for me than others. And some policies are better for women than others. And some policies are better for North America than others. And some policies are better for humans in general than others. No human policy is better for the universe than others. It's all subjective, because it only matters to humans and other living things and it matters differently depending on which human or living thing you are. That's subjective. That is to say it depends on whose point of view you are considering. Objective truths do not depend on who is doing the feeling.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
