Or some way that god arbitrarily -is-.
But, the jig ‘s up anyway. If a god can be god, but wrong, then god and good are not synonyms. Every angle you take to evade criticism imperils some other leg of this barstool.
For extra fun, the wonkiness of acro’s moral rationalization aside, he’s more interested in how atheists conceptualize morality than in describing his.
He seems specifically interested in non natural forms of realism. Much like Plato’s form of the good, contemporary non natural realism posits that bad is a rational product, not an empirical one. In the way that Plato might say that the things we call good are those things which partake of the form of the good, NNR reasons that empirical cues point out when something typifies the content of “bad”, but that those empirical properties are not bad-itself. This, in contrast to the notion that the empirical....or natural.....property of harm -is- bad-itself.
Obviously, nothing above ( right or wrong) depends on or necessitates anything other than s thinking brain. No gods required.
