Read your own post again. What sort of premise do you need to express an evaluation?
Might that be an “evaluative premise”....?
What sort of premise might you need to express a descriptive statement? Something like “x is......”.....?
Moral statements, fully expressed and cogently formed, take a descriptive premise and apply an evaluative premise in order to produce a normative inference.
That’s how subjectivist and objectivist moral reasoning works.
Notice that there are no gods in either case?
