My views on objective morality

[God of Mr. Hanky]

I don't know about the praise stuff but I don't find I'm incapable of feeling reverence or awe or gratitude or many other things without belief in God.  It isn't all that debilitating really.

What are you appreciating? When a person does a good deed, what do you appreciate? The person and that state he was in right. But then you say his action doesn't even become part of him aside from a memory and forming part of his psychology. So you don't believe it adds value to that person truly and objectively.

Also, why is actually good? If it's just survival chemicals making us feel good....what makes it truly good to do an action or praiseworthy? Do we appreciate and praise simply the act because of it's benefits or is there a substance of praise? An essence of praise and value, we are valuing in that act?

Got any blue cheese dressing to put on your word salad?

I'm not respecting your attempts to move the goalposts here, which are set on that word "objective", and I don't think others should either. We objectively benefit from helping others and knowing we did that, for taking a stand for the truth which sets people free from the lies which are enslaving others, and from receiving the recognition which encourages more such good behavior. Most of us respect mutual consent and do not commit murder, even when we think we could get away with it, because that is the morality of most of us. The machinery behind this is our neurochemistry, and whether or not it works harmoniously for all of us has no bearing on the objective truth. Therefore, there is still no reason for anyone to believe in any objective morality.
