It seems that this pattern is just changing the name, and nothing more.
Like
Peter is Pedro
Peter is Piere.
If it means something more than a name change, like The Good is also Allah, and not Yahweh, or Brahma. Then you’re actually adding additional beliefs to it, and not just additional beliefs, but beliefs that distinguish them from each other.
Quote:Me, "The good is in our behaviors, and most humans are capable of doing and being good.
I’m not sure what that means, our behaviors are all over the place, some good some not so good. Our behaviors are merely what is, good is how we ought to be, not merely how we are.
Quote:That says to me morality isn't magic, isn't being handed down from a divine place, or our spirit ancestors. That says to me humans can be capable of both good and bad, compassion and cruelty, and neither require magic or old mythology to explain. It is still up to humans how we chose to interact with each other.
I don’t think morality is magic, I think it’s exceptionally hard and difficult, that what is Good is always on the verge of being trampled and crucified. A child’s innocence and kindness, exist in a world that continually tries to take it from them.

There is no such thing.
Unless atheism-based moral nihilism is false, than atheism-based objective morality can't exist.
It's always existed. Everything comes from it.
