Argument from "better to seek proper vision".
#19
RE: Argument from "better to seek proper vision".
Of course. However, "said to be" doesn't equate to "what actually is"; that's the card being palmed. I would argue that any level of morality that requires guidance isn't a moral system, only pronouncements of opinion on moral acts. That's fine as long as those pronouncements account for every possible contingency; the problems arise when one encounters a situation that's not on the list, or which falls between not-entirely-compatible pronouncements.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
