Trouble is we all say it -X is wrong!- and have been doing so since before people were able to articulate why, let alone reason regarding why it is wrong. Moral behavior is part of our species deal. You like to imagine something fantastical that no one can detect maintains the moral facts. That to me is absurd.
You think it is absurd for people to go on saying acts are wrong when we understand that it is our feeling and not our reason that is doing the talking. I say that is as it's always been. So what?
So are you saying we as humans when looking at moral acts such as when ISIS throw homosexuals off buildings and we deem that action as wrong as sufferring from a delusion and we are just using the words right and wrong naively? Or are you saying that our moral experience tells us that some things are really right or wrong?

We take the grey area out of the tennis lines and hardcode them as black and white laws for the most part.
We get booked for speeding. Nobody got booked for almost speeding.
The same thing applies to laws. They are just made up and have no reference to reality, like sporting rules.
The rules of baseball have no reference to reality.
