Er, no. I've argued why umpteen times. Only the instructions of an agent who has control over your interests in an afterlife would be ones we'd always have reason to comply with whatever she wished us to do. Moral instructions are instructions we have reason to comply with whatever it instructs us to do. So far as I can see, then, that's the only way something with all the characteristics of a moral instruction can exist: it requires a god.
And this all sounds like you just saying shit. Carry on, I accidentally replied to this thread thinking it was another.
