Objective morality as a proper basic belief
RE: Objective morality as a proper basic belief
I this debate I am a bit of a simpleton.

I do not know of a god.

I have developed a morality through my upbringing, education and interaction with other social beings of my species.

I have been wrong.

I have been right.

I understand and empathise with others and do not have a diagnosis of a brain condition that inhibits this.

I am a social creature, that seems to be evidenced by simian evolution and is evidenced in other species too.

I understand what the amagdyla does to a limited extent in human responses

I have an incomplete understanding of how the human mind works, others know more, but nobody has the problem solved.

I don't want to be a dick.

I don't need the supernatural to help me do that.

God doesn't seem to resolve anything, moral problems can be difficult. The world's writings that claim to be fro gods include things that I find very immoral. If humans are flawed by either theistic or natural reasoning, how could they understand gods or aliens or supercomputers with advanced AI?

Why does this pint of Kronenbourg taste sooo good?

Experience is weird sometimes, but a god that wanted to let me know his objective moral commands certainly could. He hasn't.

Cue up pre-supp bullshit, but this whole argument from theists is soooooo tedious.
