Theistic Inclinations

[Amarok]

Everyone knows that some things are right and some things are wrong. It takes a special effort to believe in moral relativism.

Nope  it takes no effort at all to admit that my moral intutions are not written in the universe  and there just that . And even if it took speacial effort does not mean it's wrong it means your actually applying your reasoning to it instead of just assuming it's right.  If we took your mentallity we would still be wiping our asses wirth leaves .

Everyone senses the transcendent in things of great beauty. It takes a special effort to attribute those feelings to just physiological responses

Nope when i hear bach i know my state is pysclogical not that beuty exists as some magic susbstance of it's own . And as above just because ones easy does not mean it's right. and just because the other takes effort and reasoning  to accept does not mean it's wrong .

Anyone can see that things are not right in the world and that most often we have only ourselves to blame. It takes a special effort to consider yourself blameless in all this mess.

Nope the world is fine  its the way it's always been as for humans techincally were better then we have ever been . It could be better though .


And none of this equals to an interdemional sky pixie even if we accepted your assertions
