(LONG) "I Don't Know" as a Good Answer in Ethics
#39
RE: (LONG) "I Don't Know" as a Good Answer in Ethics
OP: My view, "I/We don't know, yet" is a viable position.

It seems that theists have a major problem with existence and death. They therefore need to make up/believe in supernatural explanations to fulfill that need and make themselves feel comfortable. If they need it, OK by me. Just don't try to force it on me or get me to think their belief is valid. 

Also my view, the development of ethics may be very simple and rooted in biology. The ethics of survival, of self, then family, then herd, then society.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
