You can question if your actually know what the inner messenger tells you instead of thinking it tells you something but rather your assumption is based on other then it, but when it tells you something in clear manner, then you know it to be true.
I will give you an example. Apostacy, killing apostate in Islam? On what authority can someone condemn it as wrong? By just an opinion and having a strong opinion? Ok suppose you are right that it shouldn't be done, why should you be angry at people doing it and allowing it? You at the end will have to admit, it's because they have something inside them telling them it's absolutely wrong. They suppress that knowledge and instead of follow their scholars.
You guys on forums always show disgust at people doing certain things. What makes you see that as disgusting and abdoninable? If at the end, you just say you feel that way, it has no real basis.
At the end, people feel their is beauty and ugliness in moral actions, their is right and wrong, and that when a human does wrong, it's due to ignoring something that is universal.
I'm saying also if you look at how you feel over it, at the end, it can't be just said, yeah that's emotions programmed by evolution..that has no authority of why you should strongly feel that way...
at the end, whether we are right or wrong about things...we all feel there is correct view that is enforced upon humans that when they completely go against some of the stronger commands of the universal mandate, we feel disgust at it...
I'm saying if you look at the authority of that commander/messenger/authority, you will see it's not just chemicals making a feeling, it's metaphysical, eternally based, and is of ultimate authority because it's link to the ultimate authority...it's authority is to absolute degree that we judge people upon it.
Sure we can confuse a lot of wrong thoughts with this messenger telling us, but this is because we are going with the flow, and not reflecting properly. There is a way out of the confusion and that is to listen more and more to the divine instinct.
I think at the end if you say no such thing exists, then you are in no position to feel disgusted at others doing things, because they are just acting to what they feel they should do after all. There is nothing then screwed up, because what are they screwed up from? You see...we all believe this universal mandate...we just need to recognize it's metaphysical basis which is God. So it's not like it's something that is unique to me and making me special.
Most people do recognize that, and believe in God.
