Morality

[The Grand Nudger]

You claim that the holocaust being morally bad, is objectively true, that this is a moral fact. The moral nihilist indicate this is false, because evaluative propositions don’t exist objectively, because facts don’t possess intrinsic evaluative components. At best we have subjective, or relativistic evaluative elements attached by people such as yourself. The evaluative aspects exist as a result of our beliefs, feelings, and attitudes, and  our perceptions, and are not independent of them, as moral realism implies.

Now tell me how this nihilist is wrong?

Why would it matter if evaluative propositions " objectively exist"?  That the holocaust is wrong refers to a moral fact, not an evaluative premise.   They do, ofc, objectively exist, lol. Perhaps he would prefer to argue that they were -wrong-, not that they were non-existent, lol. Your poor nihilist is confused, which is strange, since I explained this to him so many times already.

Evaluative premises are required to derive an ought, not a moral fact. Moral facts are either recognized or directly observed, depending on who you ask.

Now, if I had told our nihilist friend..."so you shouldn't do that" then, then, he could quibble about evaluative premises..which, again, do "objectively exist"(lol?)........but..again, we have cages and bricks for that kind of "nihilist".

Do you find that the objections above cause you to doubt your divine morality in the way they cause you to doubt moral realism?
