Quote: You're just not addressing my argument or any of the points that I made in that reply to you.Ok so how did this thing instruct me of the things that are wrong or right, when did the thing instruct me, and what about the seemingly plausible things which I mentioned which are where I believe I have got my sense of right or wrong from?
Saying 'morality is a word' is just silly. There is a word 'morality'. But morality itself is the thing the word is being used to refer to.
But you're calling morality a thing then saying I'm being instructed by a thing.
And when i say it's just a word I mean this directed towards normative morality which you keep on mentioning, it is used to describe morals which every reasonable person would have, but this is totally flawed because it does presuppose the existence of a supernatural being who can detect what is truly right or wrong or what is reasonable.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
