From atheism to tentative agnosticism

RE: From atheism to tentative agnosticism
If you're worried that moral sensations may constitute hallucinations you have way too much time on your hands for worrying.
As I said before parents, guardians and surroundings are what usually supplies morality, that and a development of the ability to empathize with other people. A lot of morality is brainwashed into us when we are young so it isn't surprising you do it anyway even if there is no benefit.

I know you said that before. But as I explained - or tried to - all you are referring to is moral phenomena, not morality itself. I am in no doubt that moral sensations and beliefs exist and that there is some causal story one can tell about them. The point is that morality doesn't seem capable of existing without a god. Moral sensations and beliefs, yes. Morality itself, no.

All I can think is that you think moral phenomena and morality itself are one and the same. But this cannot be the case for a sensation cannot instruct and nor can a belief, much less instruct with rational authority.

I just repeat what I said about god sensations and beliefs. Those exist. But that doesn't show a god to exist. That doesn't show how evolution gives rise to god!

Moral sensations and beliefs are not the same as morality itself.
