The reason it doesn't seem like I havn't answered your question is because you think the world is only chocolate or vanilla. I answered your question with strawberry
No, I showed how your world view fits into my terminology. You didn't answer a third option, you just ignored the points I made and returned to your semantic argument. Settling moral debts through atonement is every bit as much a system of arbitrary morals as settling moral debts through payback. Just as arbitrary and just as relative. You haven't escaped pop morality, you've just adopted a specific one, one based on atonement.
Again no. Morality at its core a set of rules defining good/bad behavior. Pop morality describes the origins of said rules.
Absolutes/Atonement is freedom from 'moral behavior' and a way to be found righteous despite our failures in morality.
Therefore the model that uses atonement can not be morality because behavior is not what is being judged.
