Do you disagree? Doesn't seem like you do.
Sure, in so much as attaching eternal importance to things is more compelling than attaching finite of finicky importance to things.
Quote:No, it doesn't. You're plain and simply wrong.Quote:-and since moral realism doesn't actually require the existence of a god..then they would be plain and simply wrong, just as you are plain and simply wrong.
It depends on what form of moral realism you're referring to
Quote:In our previous argument over this, I got you to concede to the idea of taste realism, that thin crispy pizza with the right proportion of cheese is objectively good. According to your logic, all thats required to shift any subjective preference to objectivism, is defining some measurable criteria to qualify one's subjective preferences. You fail to recognize your incoherencies, that's perhaps why you've done a poor job of selling moral realism onto other atheists here.In our previous argument you demonstrated that you don't know what moral realism is, and you seem intent on repeating that performance.
