Life sucks, there is neither a god nor objective morality, particularly not derived from an immoral monster like the christian god (which would make his morals pronouncements subjective too btw.). The universe doesnt give a fuck if you like or dislike those facts.![]()
P.S.: Disclaimer: I just made some (over)simplifications to make a point.
Moral realism may be true or it may be false, I'm not sure.
But it's unfair to say that people who argue in favor of moral realism do so because they dislike the alternative. These are serious people, and we don't have the right to dismiss them based on mind-reading their motives.
