morality is subjective and people don't have free will

I never said that the world was completely unintelligible.  All that means is that there is some order to the world.

It seems to me that if the world is even partially unintelligible then that small amount undermines the intelligibility of the whole.

That's because you're a nutjob. Your metaphorical understanding of intelligibility is bollocks. The part undermines the whole? That's nonsense. Does the existence of randomness in quantum mechanics undermine the science. Does the existence of randomness in the universe "undermine" order? You're talking poetic rubbish.

More poetic nonsense.

Reality is a bitch. Get over it.

Oh please, spare me. You're talking barely intelligible metaphysical gobbledygook and invoking stupid platitudes? Get over yourself. The world is a mixture of the intelligible and unintelligible, and much as you might not like the fact, wishing it away won't make it so. Our reason and our senses are fallible, and a healthy skepticism is a good thing. Your platitude notwithstanding, standing for the wrong things is just being stupid. With supernaturalism and faith and a belief in magic, you fall for all the wrong things.
