Quote:Err... why? If something has no valid objection to it, then it must be perfectly logical. If something abstract is perfectly logical, then it's akin to physical laws etc, ergo it could be a moral law set in place by a god.Oh, is that what makes something logical? Gee, and here I was thinking that to be logical something had to adhere to a certain set of rules. Good to get that out of the way, helps to explain your posting habits somewhat. You think that as long as a turd floats, it's perfectly logical, and that being perfectly logical is somehow akin to a physical law, and further, that said something could then be a moral law......further still, set in place by a god.
All of that follows......perfectly logical, at least insomuch as your own personal standards of logic are applied, one assumes.
The reason that such a moral setting schema rules out a divine moral authority, is that there -is- no authority if the metrics are simply what turds a person can float (or, more likely, pretend to have floated). Any person. It's anathema to the very meaning of the term authority, divine or otherwise.
