Why not?

As you're the one who seems to think it is possible, yet somehow manages to never once do it, perhaps you should tell me.

Quote:Well if it’s all arbitrary, which it obviously is since you cannot tell me why you chose happiness over any other chemical reaction in the brain then morality can just as validly be defined as whatever maximizes sadness, agony, suffering, pain, remorse, regret, disease, and whatever other arbitrary standard we would like to choose. You have not demonstrated how you know any of this to be true. You simply assert it, which doesn’t prove relativism is even a viable viewpoint.

I choose happiness because (with a few special exceptions) people seek happiness in their lives. It is what drives us to improve things.

Am I wrong? Do you pursue only things that make you feel unhappy or experience pain?

Quote:Because I have a standard of morality that is not arbitrary and is therefore meaningful, you have one that is arbitrary and therefore meaningless; which proves my initial statement, atheism undermines morality.

Let's try to play this game again. Prove that your standard of morality is not arbitrary. Put some clothes on those assertions. So far, all you've proven is that you're one of the more persistently hypocritical frauds on this forum.
