2 isn't contained in any of the physical objects, but we have mathematical model that represents the separateness of one object from another identical object as "2". Similarly, "bad" isn't concretely contained in any physical act but if the act causes severe harm to millions of people, then due mainly to evolutionary conditioning we will see it is strongly "bad" (and if we're good moral philosophers [which I'm not], articulate the reasons exactly).
Just give it up. I'm revoking your membership into the moral realist club. You no longer subscribe to view of good as objective, but appear to be dwindling your way into the emotivist camp. Where good and bad, are just brain states.
I think your views would perhaps find a better home among them.
So it seems I can only be a realist if I adhere to what you think is realism. Oh well, not my problem. I'm satisfied with my current position (if there is a flaw in my reasoning, you haven't been successful in pointing it out), and have no logical need for any extraneous god to consolidate it.
