Christian morality delusions

[Angrboda]

There's an interesting misconception that the faithful have, with regards to which side of that line they find themselves on, on account of their faith.  The religious often call their other-than objective moral system objective..and the irreligious mistakenly describe their objective moral system as other-than objective.

So I've been told that I might have a misconception and I didn't want to put this in philosophy because it's on account of my faith as a Christian.

Here are my thoughts on morality
There is subjective morality- what I feel internally to be right and wrong as according to my experience and beliefs
There is societal morality- what is commonly accepted to be right or wrong for a people within a particular society
There is universal morality (possibly)- things that rational people of any time and any place find right or wrong
There is objective morality- A being I call God exists outside the universe that influences us through the Holy Spirit to inform of objective morality.


Do I fall under the misconceptions you were referencing?

I think, most religious conceptions of morality are like that cartoon where, in the middle of solving an equation on a blackboard, the individual writes, "and then a miracle happens," and the professor says that he thinks he needs to be more explicit in that step. Theist accounts of morals typically only have a surface appearance of logic, reason, and sufficiency. A little leverage at the right points, and they come flying apart.

I can't say that I agree with Gae Bolga about the second half of that statement. He and I both acknowledge the possibility of objective morals in the absence of a god or similar transcendent source, but we diverge significantly from there. I disagree with the bulk of his ideas concerning moral realism and how it may arise.
