Objective morality as a proper basic belief
RE: Objective morality as a proper basic belief
As I have said his explanation fares no better

atheist -Why are gods attributes good

Theist- Because there gods attributes

Atheist -Why should I care about gods commands

Theist - Because there based on gods nature

Atheist Why should I think gods nature is maximally great

Theist because it's gods nature

And on and on

As for his notion that desires are not a basis for morality . That's just dumb . Desires and goals are a primary motivator to morality to deny there role is just idiotic.

Bullshit wanna who disagrees with you HUME

The is ought fallacy was a criticism of people like you

As Richard Carrier rightly points out


Quote:The only time he is quoted ever saying anything that sounds otherwise, he was speaking of religious moralists who don’t link the ought to an is about desire—he was not saying you can’t get an ought from an is, rather, he was saying you can, and that it is therefore a failure of those moralists that they don’t. He then goes on to explain what they should be doing to correctly derive an ought from an is
