Objective morality as a proper basic belief

[Thumpalumpacus]

God thinks rape is wrong, rape happens god does nothing, people think rape is bad.

The fact that Yahweh ordered his followers to rape and commit genocide puts paid to the idea of moral objectivity, because the very deity that they themselves worship is ordering something that they consider morally repugnant -- yet this is the very same deity that they proclaim to be the arbiter of what is moral.

So if the order to rape comes from the god they worship then that order is moral -- and if the same order comes from a Soviet army commander on his unit's march through Prussia, such an order they consider evil.

That is the very essence of moral subjectivity -- that the morality of an act depends upon the actor. Funny how they don't often seem to get that.
