But you having such an intuition is no more closer to it being true. You've shown you can't even convince yourself rationally that there is this divine objective morality. You just feel it's true.
I'm not sure how I have shown that I "can't convince myself rationally in objective morality." It is perfectly rational to me, and I am perfectly convinced of it lol.
It's a lot more rational to me that there is objective morality, than if there isn't and moral behavior is just whatever each individual person says it is (meaning things like rape and burning babies alive can be morally good if a person thinks it is). That makes no sense to me at all.
Just because what makes rational sense to you is different from what I say makes rational sense to me, doesn't mean I'm just trying to convince myself of it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
