The revulsion people feel towards the holocaust is evidence that there are moral opinions, not that there are moral facts. This is weak, Chad. The feelings are evidence that people have feelings. Nothing more. Perhaps you'd like to explain how you torture moral facts out of this?
You seem to have a penchant for ignoring intentionality. Feelings are not just feelings - they are feelings about something. Feeling don't just arise for no reason in response to nothing. The horror of tragedy, outrage at injustice, and the pangs of conscience are responses tosomething about or in the world. Sorry, but I'm going to go with the idea that the wrongness of the Holocaust is immediately obvious to anyone with a properly functioning conscience. If someone is going to say that it isn't they better have a damn good reason. Do you?
