Amazing argument. Our senses are not always reasonable and different people have different reactions to different events.(July 3, 2013 at 8:30 pm)BrotherNeto Wrote: For the last time Inigo, there is no evidence pointing to the fact that morality is a 'thing'. However, there is evidence it does exist as a concept.
Now, for there to be something answering to the concept there would (by definition) need to be some external instructions with which we have inescapable reason to comply.
Then we label these reactions as moral based on what is relatively reasonable to the group at the time. There is no absolute there.

Evidence does not mean what you think it means, because you keep presenting word salad wrapped in squat.
